liposolve

[patsa]

I'm 5'0 -119lb. I've been in a weight loss program and my goal is 116lb.  I don't have much fat to lose, but i just can't seem to lose the fat on my stomach.  I do alot of cardio and exercise for my midsection, but it doesn't help much.  I've been thinking about having the "liposolve" shots.  Just would like to know what's the worst side effect.  If anyone has tried it and did it really work..

I had injection to my love handles and abdomen a year ago, and in both area I'm flabbier then ever before.  Also, I have hard nodules in my stomach and lowere back that simply will not dissolve.  It was a big mistake and i wish I never did it.  Look into creams, or I thnk I read that a new treatment, Smoothshapes 100 is supposed to be revolutionary... wait for that and never go to Glo MediSpa!

Lipodissolve is an injection of a fat dissolving medication called phosphatidylcholine plus other products that are used off label to reduce fat.  This technique is not approved by the FDA and is currently under clinical trials for safety and effectiveness.  There have been successful result to limited areas, but complications of persistent pain and lumpiness are not uncommon.

I know what it's like to have stubborn fat that won't go away, but I would stay away from anything that isn't FDA approved. Have you researched Vaser Lipo?
I chose to investigate liposuction predominantly to reshape my flanks.  I had the male “spare-tire” and no matter how much work I did in the gym, my body stored fat on my sides.  So for me, although I was in good shape, I was looking for a way to contour my body.  I was particularly interested in Vaser technology because of the way it breaks up fat cells before removing them.  
Now, two months after from my Vaser Lipo surgery, I am really excited about my results.  My surgeon was able to really target my love handles and re-shape my abdominal region.
