Lipodisolve The Latest Phenomenon

By Charles Donovan

Liposuction is known world wide. This surgical procedure for removing excess fat from the body has enjoyed ever increasing popularity the last decade. However, there are other options for banishing excess fat other than surgery. These new, innovative options have some additional benefits that are not gained from the traditional procedures. Lipodisolve is one of these options.

Lipodisolve and liposuction have the same purpose; to rid various regions of the patient's body of excess, stubborn, unwanted fat. However, lipodisolve has some benefits that liposuction does not. The most obvious is that lipodisolve does not involve surgery. No incisions are made and often anesthetic isn't required. Because of these differences recovery time for lipodisolve is often minimal.

One of the major differences between lipodisolve and liposuction is that lipodisolve has not yet been approved by the FDA, whereas, liposuction has. However, this does not necessarily mean that lipodisolve is an unsafe procedure or that it won't be approved in the future. The FDA has also not prohibited lipodisolve. With it being neither approved or prohibited it is apparent that the FDA has simply not made up its mind yet concerning the procedure. It is important to note that lipodisolve is a fairly new procedure and liposuction has been in existence for a lot longer. This means that liposuction has had time to go through the FDA's lengthy and rigorous approval process.

Another good aspect of both surgeries to understand is how the procedures differ. First, with liposuction, a doctor will remove the unwanted and/or excess fat via a tube that is inserted directly into the areas of fat the patient would like removed. This is done via a small cut on the skin. In many ways, you can look at the tube as a vacuum sucking out the fat (hence the name, liposuction). Lipodisolve, on the other hand is a procedure that requires no incisions. Because there are no incisions made, you may have less risk of infection, which many people consider a large benefit.

Lipodisolve involves injecting chemicals directly into the area being treated, whether it be your arm, thigh, stomach, or even your neck. The chemicals injected dissolve the solid fat into a liquid fat which is then believed to be washed out of the body. Lipodisolve is considered less invasive and is less painful than liposuction, and for these reasons many people choose lipodisolve.

Last, you obviously need to consider which procedure is the most effective. It doesn't matter if you don't have to have cuts and tubes if the procedure doesn't remove the fat effectively. While both liposuction and lipodisolve can provide amazing results, there is one general rule of thumb that most people follow: if you want to remove very large areas of fat, liposuction may be a better option. If you want to concentrate on smaller areas, than lipodisolve may be the right procedure for you. Speak with your doctor and with past patients to find out which one would be best for you. - 15343
