I'm trying it now. I've had two sessions and going for the third tonight. I don't see much change yet but I'm scheduled for four. I'll keep you posted.
I getting the injections i have gotten 3 in my lower abs and 1 inthe upper I have so many lumpsLumps in the breasts im already on an month break ...I do regret getting the shots because I have not seen any real results,instead Ive gotten larger in the areas treated I'm going to be patient and wait 4 results....I just wish I knew when results are goind 2 show....
I've had Lipodissolve on 4 May on my stomach and love handles.
My doctor said that I needed 1 session which was a cost of $450AUS and a total of 150 injections. My stomach swelled and bruised the next day then took about 2 weeks for the swellingAbdomen - swollen Ankle sprain swelling Breast - premenstrual tenderness and swelling Foot swelling Foot, leg, and ankle swelling Gums - swollen Joint swelling Mastoiditis - redness and swelling behind ear Scrotal swelling Swelling to go down. My doctor advised to exercise, go on a good eating plan and perhaps loose some weight and massage the area for 30min a day, everyday. This all apparently speeds the process of fat dissolving. Its been nearly 5 weeks and the treated area is lumpy and sometimes itchy, this is not a problem, but the stomach & sides feel sore, as if I've done really strenuouse exercise and the muscles are sore, he said this will continue even after 8 weeks. I can see a nice shape developing to the sides of my body, the love handles are dissapearing and its taking on a nice smooth shape, although there is still fat there, but the shape is curvier, there is also less fat on my stomach. The final results should be seen at approx. 8 weeks.
However, I dont know if my shape is changing becasue I've lost about 2kg, which I'm not happy about as I'm rather thin already
approx. 48kg (98lbs) but I know that when I lost weight before the love handles were still bulging now it is smooth and my stomach is flatter. SO far I'm really pleased with the results, even if I'm still sore. (may be a little differnt in US)
Thanks for the response, any more updates from anyone?
Bella I too am in Australia, I had my firstFirst progesterone mc10 First progesterone mc5 First-progesterone vgs 200 First-progesterone vgs 400 treatment 8 weeks ago (I am much larger than you) it was sore and bruised for about 10 days, but If its not wishful thinking Im sure I have lost a few inches (upper and lower abdomen) My second treatment of three is next week, if I dont see a big improvement after that then I wont go for the third, I have taken my own measurements this time so I can compare after a few weeks.
I've had 2 treatments on my lower abs and 1 on the upper abs. I have lots of little lumpsLumps in the breasts on the lower abs. It's been 2.5 weeks since the 2nd treatment. Also, still sore. The upper abs are doing well, no lumpsLumps in the breasts left, not so sore. Bruising was minimal with the 2nd treatment.
I can definately tell a difference on the lower abs. My clothes are also fitting better. I am schedule for my 3rd treatment next Monday. Wondering if they will do it when they feel all these little lumpsLumps in the breasts.
Would love to have the area under my eyes done - but just don't want the swelling and lumps under my eyes.
It is now 7 weeks post lipodissolve and I'm really pleased with the results. The love handles have gone and my stomach is flatter, but not all the fat has been removed. My doctor also said that the fat will continue to dissolve even after 8 weeks.
The areas are not painfull anymore, maybe just a little, as I'm still massaging but not as often, quite frankly, I cant be bothered anymore, I massaged everyday for 6 weeks and have had enough! I still have lumps under the skin and its sometimes itchy but ok. How come you guys have several sessions 3 weeks apart? How many injections do you receive at the one time?
I had it done all at once, I suppose if I wanted ALL the fat to be removed, I can have more shots, but only after 10 weeks, no sooner.
Not sure why they do it differently in the US. They gave me 7 shots on right lower abdomen and 7 on the left lower abdomen. Same for upper abdomen. They inject .5cc in each shot? Are you receiving Mesotherapy or Lipodissolve? I know with meso, it is lots of shots, but with less injection material.
I am from the St Louis area and have been reading about Lipodissolve, so it is nice to hear about everyone's experiences on this site. Has anyone been treated in the St Louis area and if so, what location do you recommend or have gone to? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I had 1 session of 150 injections for lipodissolve. The doctor injected 5 injections at the one time but I was very swollen in the abs, looked like a barrell and I only weigh 48kg (approx. 95 lbs).
Its been 8 weeks now and the results are pleasing, but I'm thinking about having a little bit more of the fat removed but I dont want to swell up like that again. I had to wear very loose clothing for about a week, but if you received only 7 injections in each area the swelling wouldnt be as bad and I certainly dont need 150 again. AND the area was really painfull after the injections and for about 4 days after, I had to massage everyday but it was so sore to touch, I dont know if I want to go through that again. In all the sites I've read about lipodissolve St Louis is booming.

Thank you for your comments about your lipodissolve treatments. Yeah, I bet 150 injections at one time was quite a bit. :) I have my first appt. next week so I will update you all on the boards to let you know how it goes.
I'd like to ask if it is not the diet and exercise that is not flattening your stomachs and not the treatments.
I mean, it might just be that you know that you are spending hundreds on your injections so you are making unconcious choices not to eat like you did before - and this is also aiding in the weight loss?
Hello everyone! I am new to this forum and I can't express how happy I am to have found this place! It's so nice to read what others are going through with lipodissolve. I had my first treatment yesterday, I just hit the 24 hour mark, on my inner thighs and the saddle bag area. Last night I was completely regretting ever getting this proceedure done I was in so much pain. The injections themself didn't hurt too bad. Soon after I started swelling and the burning was quite bad. It felt like I had sat on a bunch of yellow jacket wasps and they had all stung me, that's the only think I can think of what it felt like. Thank goodness that stinging went away after about 4 hours, but then the swelling got really bad and the tenderness is almost untolerable. I wasn't expecting to be quite this sore! I can barely walk, sit, and have to squat over the toilet, which is really hard! I'm so worried about feeling like this for a long time. Can anyone tell me when the swelling and tenderness starts to go away? I know I'm only at my 24 hour mark but right now I have feelings of "what have I done".
Maybe this much pain is normal?
I had one more question - is it okay to take Ibuprophen for the pain? I haven't taken anything yet but I keep reading that you don't want to take Ibuprophen because you WANT the inflammation???
Just wondering if anyone has taken IBU after their lipodissolve treatment and if it helped??
I work for fig. and I just spoke with a nurse here and she suggested taking an Anti-histamine such as Zyrtec or Claritin (over the counter) to help with inflammation, itching, swelling etc. Hope this helps!
Hi, are you seeing any result. i am going to a consulation for meso shots next week. Want to get some opinions. This website has been some help. i first found out about meso at work. Co=worker lost alot of wait on her mend section her stomach is so flat. She is now a size 6. she was a size 14
Yes, I have had treatments with positive results. You have to remember though, that LipoDissolve is not meant as a weight loss solution. It is meant for shaping and contouring your body. It's not about losing pounds as much as losing inches. I would definitely recommend doing the consultation and seeing what the medical proffesionals have to say in regards to your body specifically. Good luck and keep us posted!
i had my abs done about 4in a half weeks ago i am still swollen bigger than i was before i had it done and i have this terrible bloating feeling is this normal and is there anything i can do to make it better ive been massaging even went and had a full body massage done
I work for fig. and I directed your concerns to a medical proffesional at my office. She said you should definitely follow-up with your treatment providers at the clinic where you were treated. You should not be significantly swollen 4 weeks out of treatments. If you have had a number of treatments you could have lumps and inflammation that still needs to dissolve but you should be evaluated to make sure that you do not have anything else going on.
Heat and massage does help with inflammation. Please keep me updated with your situation. If you have any other questions please ask and I can direct them to a medical professional.
Hi!My co-worker and I are in Arizona and are going in Wednesday for our first series of Lipodissolve injections. Does anyone know if there is a limit on how many areas can be treated at once or have any recommendations? I wanted to get lower belly, love handles and bra area. Would this be too much at once? I weigh about 110 (5'2) and am basically doing this for the "problem" areas that "bloat" the second I gain any kind of weight and just never seem to "go away" no matter how much weight I lose.Also wondering if these medicines may react to other medications. I am on a low dose of Welbutrin to quit smoking (I've been smoke-free for 3 months now-yeaaa!!). Would love some advice!
First off congratulations on quitting smoking, that is not an easy task. As for lipodissolve injections, I am not sure where you are getting treatments, but usually you get only one area treated the first time to make sure you respond normally to the medication. After that you can have more than one area treated at the same visit depending on the protocol the clinic uses and your pain tolerance. Most likely you will notice changes in your bra area first because that area tends to respond quicker than other areas on the body. You sound like you will be a great candidate based on your height and weight. As far as medications reacting with PCDC, we avoid certain medical conditions (ie. cardiac conditions and autoimmune disorders). This is for protection of the patient’s health. You should not have any problems continuing Welbutrin with treatment, but check with the provider or physician at your clinic. We have people avoid short term uses of anti-inflammatory medications (ie. Aleve, Motrin, ibuprofen) and do not treat people on steroids due to the reduction of the patient’s response to PCDC. We also like to avoid aspirin regular strength (325mg) with treatment because studies have shown that it interrupts with cell extermination that PCDC causes to dissolve the fat cells. If possible we try to reduce patients to an 81mg aspirin. I hope this helps address your questions and let us know if you have any more questions that come up.
Thanks so much for the info! I am actually in Arizona and I am really excited that these procedures are now available in my town and they are so affordable. I have always been a little reluctant to get liposuction because of the serious risks and down-time. I am schedule to have two areas treated @ 2-week intervals with approx. 4-6 treatments. I think I will see how my stomach and bra area go first and worry about my "love"-handles at a later time since my skin is somewhat smooth in that area already. I've had two children (13 & 14 now) and am going to be 33 pretty soon (a birthday present to myself). Do you know if this will help any with the appearance of light stretchmarks and mild bubbliness on lower stomach from stretching? It's not too noticeable except in direct sunlight (ick!)- don't want to get my hopes up too high but hoping this will smooth it out even just a little!
friday will be 8 weeks since i had my 1st treatment i am still swelled some and still have lumps when i went in to get remeasured she said im still measuring bigger than i was before i went in. and said she thinks it due to a slow metabolism i am still massaging every night is there anything else i can do and if it is do to slow metabolism how long can i except to be swelled and lumpy
Wow!Just got my 1st treatment yesterday-did anyone else bruise horribly? I got my belly and love handles done (love handles weren't as bad). My girlfriend went in too, and had her belly and thighs done. She didn't bruise near as much. It must just be my own body's reaction. I'll tell you what- If this horrible tenderness and bruising isn't almost gone in 2 weeks, I don't know how I could possibly get poked another hundred times in those same places! I'm not usually a wuss, I've endured a lot of different things....but man! It is only the next day and I am sure it will probably start to be better after the 3rd day.aaaaAAAAHHHHH, the things we do in the name of beauty and feeling "better" about ourselves! Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to help with the bruising? I'm going in next week (I'm alternating areas) to start on arms and bra area. Wish me luck-I think I'm crazy! I'm thinking of posting my progress on my MySpace page. Anyone else have any "progress" photos they'd like to share?
Hi Leslie. I had lipodissolve injections about a year ago. I also bruised pretty bad on my love handles and it took about a week for it to go away. Everyone's body reacts differently as far at swelling and bruising. I had a girlfriend to the same area with me and she had NO bruising! It just depends on the person. If you have any more questions feel free to ask.
Well, it's been close to 48 hours and I feel probably about 70% better today. The swelling has reduced by 1/3 and bruising is dispersing. I started taking Arnica 6X Internally (4, four times a day) and externally by spray and a C-500 CBR Complex (1, four times) yesterday and they seem to be helping overall. I was told it is good to take before and during treatments to help with healing. I'm also drinking a TON of water. I'm glad to be feeling better already- makes me feel more positive about my ability to endure the rest of the treatments. I was worried for a while yesterday because I read some of the blogs on realself.com and it really scared me because you never know if you are going to be one of those people that has adverse affects. There's those possibilities with ANY procedure. I also think it helped a lot that I gently massaged the areas almost the entire evening after I got the treatment (as painful as it was). It definitely helped the bumps spread out and smooth out. They were almost completely gone by the time I went to bed that night. My friend has almost no bruising now and has been taking the same steps as me. A bit of warning, though. She wrapped her belly last night, as I didn't, and woke up with a lot of the swelling/pain which moved to her pubic region (whoops!). I'm sticking to granny panties! I hear that Spanks are good too! I'll keep posting my progress!
I bought the Lipodissolve Home Kit, from www.zipmed.com, and my aunt just put the first session last Thrusday. She is a nurse, so she knows some what about this stuff. Well, It went really good I think, or maybe too good because I haven’t had any pain or swollen. I got the first session in my abs, I just felt a very small burning sensation after the session, but it only lasted about 5 min. And now I only have a couple of small bruising.
My questions are as follow:
1. Is this the same product you guys use?
2. Is it common the people don't have any reaction? like me???
Just for your reference I'm 24yrs old, height 5'2'', and weight137lbs.
I will have one of our medical professionals look ino the site you gave me but there's really no telling what you get when you buy from the internet. I would strongly discourage doing Lipo Dissolve treatments on yourself. It is very important that these treatments are performed and monitored by trained medical professionals that have experience with PCDC. For someone who has no medical training of the different layers of skin and fat on the body, self treating could be dentrimental. Just one example... if the injections were to go too far into the skin, it is possible to actually dissolve muscle, which is not good.
I would say it is very uncommon to experience no swelling or burning, as these symptoms means the PCDC is working on the fact cells.
Please keep me updated on your situation as I would like to direct your story to a medical professional here at fig.
I am a physician assistant for fig. and perform the injections. There is no way to know what the injected compound contained since it was bought online. Did they give you a breakdown of the compound? It may have been a diluted dose since your reaction sounds minimal, but everyone’s reaction is different and pain tolerance is subjective. As far as the bruising is concerned, not everyone bruises badly and sometimes not at all. You should have had a good amount of swelling at least for the first 24 to 48 hours. I do not encourage self injections due to complications due to poor injecting technique, but if you are going to continue against our advice please keep in contact with a medical professional to address your questions and concerns to help avoid any serious side effects.
They sent me the followings:
10 - 5ml PCDC Lipostabil: Deoxycholate + Phosphatidylcholine 250mg/ml
02 - 10ml Tiratricol 1400mcg/ml
02 - 10ml Procaine HCl 2%
When I received this package they stated that Phosphatidylcholine PCDC (15LIP) has a tolerance of 60 days at room temperature and 03 year in the refrigerator (0 to 15ºC). So I kept them at the temperature since I got them. Actually I kept all of them in the a fridge.
And the Weekly applications is a follow:
Mix these products:
A. 5 ml of 250mg Lipostabil (PCDC)
B. 2.0 ml of 1400mcg Tiratricol
C. 2.0 ml of Procaine 2%
After, change the needles and put the ultra-fine needle in the syringe.
I hope this helps understand better, what this products contains.
I appreciate you guys help, and comments.
Thanks,
I had my first treatment on Friday, upper and lower abs. Oh my; the pain reminded me of my C-section. I used ice and 2 Advil, then read here I probably should not have done that. The swelling is reduced today. My question is about the knots. How big are they and when do they appear? I sure hope this works.
the lumps will apppear after swelling goes down, about 4-5 days after tereatment. they last about4- 6 weeks. use heat(heating pad) and massage to reduce sooner. I agree....very painful! I've got one left on lower abs and love handles and I'm just not sure I can do anymore, I may wuss out and just see how things turn out with 5 treatments. I am on week two of 5th treatment and have lots of lumps, should see results in another few weeks, then I'll go from there, I really want to finish but OUCH! good luck to you!
YIKES, MKZ!!!! The website says you should recieve your order in 6 days? Email the company, then call your bank, they will get your money back for you!! Thats so disapointing
I had my first treatment almost 2 weeks ago, I have been looking for others to chat with. I did not bruise but I had swelling for at least 4 days two days like I was preg. and then it started to go down. At my treatment center they gave me undergarments, and I am also going to have endermology done. They said that they have had great results using the combo. I was able to go to the gym and do some cardio the next day I just was careful but I think the mobility actually helped. I also iced down really well and wore my undergarmets, a girdle and corset which I believe helped with the swelling and pain. And for the ones who have asked they told me no ibrupro, but tylenol was ok.
O.K. Here's my update so far. I had my third treatment on my abs/love handles Nov. 14th. I was due for my third treatment for my arms/bra area on Nov. 21 but decided to delay another week before getting anymore treatments to give me a little break during the holiday. Plus, this last one to the belly was pretty painful and I thought I could use the three weeks before I get stabbed again! Have lots and lots of tender little lumps right now. I'm getting ready for my third treatment on my arms this Wednesday (the 28th). I don't think I see any results yet. It's been 5 1/2 weeks since I started. I just joined the gym and went yesterday and did an hour cardio. I've put on 2 more pounds (15 total) since I quit smoking. I'm now @ 116 and I'm 5'2". I'm not happy that I've put on 2 more pounds since I started lipodissolve (scares me a bit). Don't know if it's because of the smoking thing or not. I've read a couple articles of people saying they GAINED after lipodissolve, but you never know ALL the details with these cases. I prefer to think that it's the smoking thing. Hope it doesn't continue, as I have not been eating any more or unhealthier than I did before I quit. Hope I start seeing some results soon. Half-way there! Oh, I also ordered an ultrasound/photo therapy doo-dad that lets you go between 1-3 Mhz, heating about 3-5 cms beneath skin's surface. What does this mean? It means it better break up all those little suckers in my belly! I heard ultrasound therapy works great in conjunction with lipodissolve. Anyone have any experience with this? I'll keep posted on my progress.
Sorry I have not responded to you sooner, I just noticed your posting. Just to let you know I am a provider for fig. and I have been performing injections for over a year and a half. I had another medical provider give me my treatments when I was receiving injections. My next posting is in response to PS455 self kit she purchased and I hope this answers some of your questions.
PS455 and everyone, I have spoken and conferred with our pharmacist about the compounds used for lipodissolve in PS455’s self kit. The phosphatidylcholine concentration is consistent with the drug used in Europe. The procaine is used for a numbing effect to help with discomfort. We are a little concerned about the Tiratricol portion of the compound. We are not sure what the purpose of this medication is for in this compound. We searched online and found that there was an FDA warning on the drug due to its thyroid hormone ingredients. It is used in diet pills and used by body builders because they think it helps increase your metabolism. The drug has been linked to causing hypothyroidism, an increase in strokes, and heart attacks. This product is not FDA approved in the United States and should not be imported in to the U.S. There is no FDA oversight on the product and thus you cannot guarantee its safety and efficacy. Lastly, we are concerned about the sterility of the injection as you draw these products in to the syringe as well as the technique that is used in the injection process and the possibility of injection site problems (such as an abscess). Please take this information into consideration before continuing self injections for anyone looking into buying a self kit. Our main concern is your safety. Our product is also not FDA approved, but we are monitored by the state boards of pharmacy, state medical boards, and ultimately by the FDA. We follow strict guidelines and procedures. I hope this information helps if you are looking into doing lipodissolve. We highly recommend going to a medical professional who is trained in the procedure and talk to them about what medication they use for lipodissolve.
I GOT MY LIPODISSOLVE FROM MEXICO AND THE SYRINGES FROM WALGREENS.
I GET THE DIABETIC SYRINGES AND I USE THE INJECTIONS EVERY OTHER DAY.
I MAY NOT BE A NURSE BUT MY HUSBAND IS A NURSE AND HE INJECTS ME.I REALLY DON'T HURT AND THE INJECTIONS ARE PRACTICALLY PAINLESS. I FEEL SOME BURNING BUT NOT TOO BAD. I AM HAPPY WITH THE OVERALL RESULTS SO FAR.
OK. I find it interesting that many of you are willing to risk significant health problems by ordering perscription medications online or buying from a foreign country without consulting a physician. Injecting medications takes specific training. I teach other physicians how to do these types of treatments and many of them do not do it right the first time. At best, they won't get optimum results. At worst, they may cause significant problems requiring hospital admission and permanent damage.
LipoDissolve and Mesotherapy treatments have not been standardized and each providerand clinichas their own approach. Some franchise clinics have a standard but individual response varies. Overall, there is general satisfaction with treatments but it takes anywhere from 4 to 10 treatments to get good spot reduction, depending on the area treated. The best success is in the neck and chin area and some of the toughest areas include the chest in men (gynecomastia) and flank areas. LipoDissolve and Mesotherapy combined can give good results.
Never ever do this on your own. I have seen the problems of those who have tried it on their own (infections, skin necrosis, muscle injections, etc).
I just started my first procedure Dec 6, 2007. What an experience! I went in blind folded, not knowing much. My friend told me about it and what it did and told her lets go! I also did my abs. I was injected about 150 times on each side. I was told they only do one area at a time. My next area was my love handles. I too was sore and bruised. I have neglected massaging my belly. I got my love handles done 4 weeks later and only lost 1/2 inch off my abs. I was not excited for the pain I went through should of been more. I am schedule to get my 2nd treatment done next week on abs. I am not excited that you have to go through so many treatments to see results. A person will have a lot of recovery time before they feel normal again. HOw were some of you injected? With a shringe, gun like needle or the one that has several needles

I had one treatment of lipolysis (lipodissolve) which involved about 150 shots to my abdomen. I swelled so big I looked as if I was 8 mos. pregnant. It was pretty painful afterward and I stayed swollen for quite some time.(about a month) It even migrated down into my groin area which was really weird! I did not see any results afterwards, not even one little bit, in fact I think I AM BIGGER now than I was before. I have an appointment for liposuction consultation for my abdomen, I think I will do this instead of wasting anymore money.
i had my first treatment march 1st on my love handles, today is march 17th and the swelling is gone but i do have the little lumps..... but my hips are smaller i swear! i went to the dr today and he suggested waiting 2 more weeks for the 2nd treatment on my hips so he did my lower abs........ i'm pretty swollen and he told me to massage the areas that were treated, does anyone know exactly how?? also i bought one of those beauty ultrasound machines that you can use on your body or face can i use it to massage my lipodissolve treated areas........ is it safe>>
I had everything done back of neck, back,abs upper and lower,love handles. Its was almost to easy. No Pain just a little swelling, Gone in a day or so I used a body compresion garment I think this helped alot, and I massaged often. Its been about a week.
don't be discouraged. the medicine stays in your system for 8 weeks after each series. i know everyone wants to see results right away but sometimes we have to be patient. make sure you are eating a high fiber diet, drinking lots and lots of water, and on a B12 supplement. usually a shot is the best way to get it into your system. i work for a medi spa and i have seen this work. we are having good results in clarksville tennessee.
I had my first lipodissolve treatment on my abs done a few days ago, along with some botox. After I came home, I felt so sick. They mentioned that I'd have 'flu' like symptoms, but I had 'quaking' from the fever. Below my head was freezing and my head was throbbing from the heat of the fever. It was also very hurtful around my midsection and I had a hard time even getting to the bathroom !
Now, after all that I woke up with two fever blister this morning !! Great ! (I can't remember having one of these in 15 years....)
The pain is better now and I'm moving without pain, but I still feel terrible (along with my big puffy lip). Has anyone had a lipodissolve and a botox treatment at the same visit? Or, has anyone had a similar reaction, i.e. fever, shakes, etc.).
Thanks
I have just received my order for lipodissolve form Zipmed for self injecting, and currently looking at the contents with trepidation. There is no instructions on how to use or what to do in case of an emergency. My Problem is i live in the UK, which has very strict rules on all kinds of medication, but feel i have no alternative but to inject myself for i have no one to help me with it.
I really need some help. I received my lipodissolve from Zipmed for self injecting around two weeks ago, but there is no instructions on how to use or what quantities. does anyone know or used this medication,if so please help me.
Thanks
Do NOT inject it yourself! You can screw it up and kill the muscle under your skin! This kind of thing got lipodissolve banned in Brazil. A doctor needs to do this for you. Are you even sure what is in the viles? That's way scary. I'd send it back and get a refund.
Hi there I was wondering if it is normal to get high bloodpressure after getting lipodissolve done, I had it done 4 weeks ago on my chin and ever since my bloodpressure has been through the roof. Is this the norm or is it just a mere coincidence as Ive not done or taken anything different to make it increase as such ,
I was hoping to get some more done but not sure if i should now? Any feedback would be welcomed
I was considering ordering from them myself as I have spent 17 thousand dollars in 3 yrs on this **** but mine was mesotherapy and have rippling in the skin now, manily between the legs/back of thigh. I know the ingrediants used so figured I could do this myself. Somone else posted not to do this it can kill the muscle underneath. Did you try this or send it back? I am very frustrated and got into something that I was promised excellent results on 4 visits. If anyone is having problems with docs doing this and robbing u, go to fda website they are constantly reviewing outcomes of meso/lipodissolve I think personally it will be ban for good. I have gone to 5 plastic surgeons that confirmmed it is all loose skin 0% body fat they recommend liposmart I am scared it will get worse though. I have also been diagnosed with a cyst the size of an orange/golfball growing in the cyst on my ovaries. I read on here someone else had the same issue after this treatment. I appreicate any info anyone can give as I am extremely upset and frustrated!
I read somewhere on the net that, after the lipo injections, its good to massage. infact the area concerned should be massaged before and after the treatment for a smooth result without any lumps. the massage helps to increase blood flow to the area concern and the 2nd massage will help to distribute lipodissolve evenly. the masssage is just a simple palm down flat strokes upwards and sideways.
My doctor said that I needed 1 session which was a cost of $450AUS and a total of 150 injections. My stomach swelled and bruised the next day then took about 2 weeks for the swelling to go down. My doctor advised to exercise, go on a good eating plan and perhaps loose some weight and massage the area for 30min a day, everyday. This all apparently speeds the process of fat dissolving. Its been nearly 5 weeks and the treated area is lumpy and sometimes itchy, this is not a problem, but the stomach & sides feel sore, as if I've done really strenuouse exercise and the muscles are sore, he said this will continue even after 8 weeks. I can see a nice shape developing to the sides of my body, the love handles are dissapearing and its taking on a nice smooth shape, although there is still fat there, but the shape is curvier, there is also less fat on my stomach. The final results should be seen at approx. 8 weeks.
However, I dont know if my shape is changing becasue I've lost about 2kg, which I'm not happy about as I'm rather thin already
approx. 48kg (98lbs) but I know that when I lost weight before the love handles were still bulging now it is smooth and my stomach is flatter. SO far I'm really pleased with the results, even if I'm still sore. (may be a little differnt in US)
Thanks for the response, any more updates from anyone?
Bella I too am in Australia, I had my first treatment 8 weeks ago (I am much larger than you) it was sore and bruised for about 10 days, but If its not wishful thinking Im sure I have lost a few inches (upper and lower abdomen) My second treatment of three is next week, if I dont see a big improvement after that then I wont go for the third, I have taken my own measurements this time so I can compare after a few weeks.
I've had 2 treatments on my lower abs and 1 on the upper abs. I have lots of little lumps on the lower abs. It's been 2.5 weeks since the 2nd treatment. Also, still sore. The upper abs are doing well, no lumps left, not so sore. Bruising was minimal with the 2nd treatment.
I can definately tell a difference on the lower abs. My clothes are also fitting better. I am schedule for my 3rd treatment next Monday. Wondering if they will do it when they feel all these little lumps.
Would love to have the area under my eyes done - but just don't want the swelling and lumps under my eyes.
The areas are not painfull anymore, maybe just a little, as I'm still massaging but not as often, quite frankly, I cant be bothered anymore, I massaged everyday for 6 weeks and have had enough! I still have lumps under the skin and its sometimes itchy but ok. How come you guys have several sessions 3 weeks apart? How many injections do you receive at the one time?
I had it done all at once, I suppose if I wanted ALL the fat to be removed, I can have more shots, but only after 10 weeks, no sooner.
Its been 8 weeks now and the results are pleasing, but I'm thinking about having a little bit more of the fat removed but I dont want to swell up like that again. I had to wear very loose clothing for about a week, but if you received only 7 injections in each area the swelling wouldnt be as bad and I certainly dont need 150 again. AND the area was really painfull after the injections and for about 4 days after, I had to massage everyday but it was so sore to touch, I dont know if I want to go through that again. In all the sites I've read about lipodissolve St Louis is booming.

I mean, it might just be that you know that you are spending hundreds on your injections so you are making unconcious choices not to eat like you did before - and this is also aiding in the weight loss?
Maybe this much pain is normal?
Just wondering if anyone has taken IBU after their lipodissolve treatment and if it helped??
Thanks!
Heat and massage does help with inflammation. Please keep me updated with your situation. If you have any other questions please ask and I can direct them to a medical professional.
My questions are as follow:
1. Is this the same product you guys use?
2. Is it common the people don't have any reaction? like me???
Just for your reference I'm 24yrs old, height 5'2'', and weight137lbs.
I would say it is very uncommon to experience no swelling or burning, as these symptoms means the PCDC is working on the fact cells.
Please keep me updated on your situation as I would like to direct your story to a medical professional here at fig.
They sent me the followings:
10 - 5ml PCDC Lipostabil: Deoxycholate + Phosphatidylcholine 250mg/ml
02 - 10ml Tiratricol 1400mcg/ml
02 - 10ml Procaine HCl 2%
When I received this package they stated that Phosphatidylcholine PCDC (15LIP) has a tolerance of 60 days at room temperature and 03 year in the refrigerator (0 to 15ºC). So I kept them at the temperature since I got them. Actually I kept all of them in the a fridge.
And the Weekly applications is a follow:
Mix these products:
A. 5 ml of 250mg Lipostabil (PCDC)
B. 2.0 ml of 1400mcg Tiratricol
C. 2.0 ml of Procaine 2%
After, change the needles and put the ultra-fine needle in the syringe.
I hope this helps understand better, what this products contains.
I appreciate you guys help, and comments.
Thanks,
I GET THE DIABETIC SYRINGES AND I USE THE INJECTIONS EVERY OTHER DAY.
I MAY NOT BE A NURSE BUT MY HUSBAND IS A NURSE AND HE INJECTS ME.I REALLY DON'T HURT AND THE INJECTIONS ARE PRACTICALLY PAINLESS. I FEEL SOME BURNING BUT NOT TOO BAD. I AM HAPPY WITH THE OVERALL RESULTS SO FAR.
LipoDissolve and Mesotherapy treatments have not been standardized and each providerand clinichas their own approach. Some franchise clinics have a standard but individual response varies. Overall, there is general satisfaction with treatments but it takes anywhere from 4 to 10 treatments to get good spot reduction, depending on the area treated. The best success is in the neck and chin area and some of the toughest areas include the chest in men (gynecomastia) and flank areas. LipoDissolve and Mesotherapy combined can give good results.
Never ever do this on your own. I have seen the problems of those who have tried it on their own (infections, skin necrosis, muscle injections, etc).
Please see a trained provider for this treatment.

Now, after all that I woke up with two fever blister this morning !! Great ! (I can't remember having one of these in 15 years....)
The pain is better now and I'm moving without pain, but I still feel terrible (along with my big puffy lip). Has anyone had a lipodissolve and a botox treatment at the same visit? Or, has anyone had a similar reaction, i.e. fever, shakes, etc.).
Thanks
