What’s the Truth Behind Liposuction and Lipodissolve? Were you Among Those Who Spent a Great Deal of Time and Money with Lipodissolve Without any Results? Let Us Hear Your Story.

The FDA has finally issue a warning and information about the ineffectiveness of “LIPODISSOLVE” which the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has cautioned about ever since its inception.

What makes you think that injecting a significant amount of toxins in your body to kill the fat cells would not hurt or effect you the rest of you? Furthermore, if you kill the cells and don’t remove them, why would you think that there wouldn’t be major irregularities and a minimal change in contour?

Many people suffered fairly profound discomfort and pain after the injections and complained of being even bigger than before the injections due to the swelling and inflammation that resulted from the toxin injections. Lipodissolve was not cheap and could cost upwards of $5000 by the end of the required sequence of injections. Most patients believed since it wasn’t “surgery,” lipodissolve was safer and could be done without down time. The part that they didn’t understand was that the results were also not as advertised!

Liposuction often does require anesthesia but it also completely removes the fat cells that create the contour deformity that may be causing the lumps and bumps of your body, i.e., saddle bags, the pooch of the tummy, and the round pear hips. It can’t remove every last bit of fat since your body needs some subcutaneous fat for your skin to appear smooth, but liposuction can significantly change the shape of your body whether it is in men in the love handle areas, or women for the stubborn outer thigh saddle bag area.

Dr Koo does want you to understand that in order to maintain the contour and body you truly desire, you will need to undergo “surgery” of liposuction or perhaps even a tummy tuck if you have too much skin in the belly area especially if you’ve had children or significant weight loss. There is nothing in life that is worth having that is without some sacrifice and work.

Your short term work is the recovery period after liposuction which may be only 4 days of wearing a garment to up to 2 weeks of no strenous exercising. The long term work is eating healthy and staying active after the surgery. While liposuction will get rid of the stubborn fat areas of the body that your genetics has graced upon you, you will still need to maintain a healthy lifestyle and activity level if you want to maximize the results and not revert back to your old habits and start gaining weight.

The good news is that my patients are so motivated after the liposuction procedure when they get the visual feedback of a significant change in their body shape that they truly do take this opportunity to change their lifestyle habits. For the first time in their lives they become encouraged and motivated to eat and be healthier!

I truly believe in starting you on your road to changing your entire life after your procedure. We have other options for weight management, diet consultation, and exercise training that will help you help yourself.
