Can Fat Be Dissolved?

A quick Google search for “can fat be dissolved?” leads to a number of possible options, including special diets that are designed to supposedly dissolve fat quickly, the steadfast “eat less and exercise more” advice, and other things that sound almost too good to be true.

Fat dissolving treatment exists, and it can actually eliminate the stubborn fat deposits in your body. If you really want them to seemingly “disappear” then this is the best FDA-approved option to treat localized fat.

What is Lipodissolve?

Some fat just will not go away no matter the amount of cardio or diet. Phosphatidylcholine “Lipodissolve” is highly effective against fat pockets such as the classic “double chin” or the “belly pouch” as it burns the fat from the inside. Your body’s lymphatic system then drains out the unwanted fat without any downtime for normal activities!

This procedure doesn’t work overnight, and it may take a bit of time before you see the results, but once you do, you’ll be happy. Since Lipodissolve allows you to target the areas where you want the fat to essentially disappear, you won’t have the “wait, see, and hope” type of results that you’ll get with the other methods. This is a great alternative treatment for those patients who have small deposits of stubborn adipose tissue and do not want to have liposuction to have it removed!

Who is a Good Candidate for Lipodissolve?

Most patients who have a moderate amount of excess fat but are at or near a healthy and stable weight are good candidates for Lipodissolve. However, some patients are not suitable for the treatment due to health concerns. You should not have Lipodissolve if you are:

  • Pregnant or nursing
  • Taking aspirin or other anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medication
  • Allergic to soy
  • Suffering a condition such as heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, or thyroid disorders

During your consultation, Dr. Mercado will review your health history to determine whether Lipodissolve is an appropriate treatment option for you.

What Happens During the Lipodissolve Procedure?

No anesthesia or topical anesthetics are required to complete the Lipodissolve procedure, but you may receive ice on the treatment area to maintain your comfort. Lipodissolve can then be administered to the treatment area through a series of injections. This process is completed quickly, and you can return home immediately after the procedure. Most patients have between 4-10 treatments to reach their goal results, which should be scheduled at least 6-8 weeks apart.

What is the Lipodissolve Recovery Process Like?

There is no downtime required after Lipodissolve injections. Some redness, swelling, and bruising are normal, but should quickly subside with all side effects resolved within 10 days after the procedure.

Is Lipodissolve Permanent?

Lipodissolve can permanently destroy fat cells in targeted areas of the body through a process called injection lipolysis. The fat reduction treatment uses sodium deoxycholate, a bile salt that breaks down subcutaneous fat, initiating fat cell lysis and triggering apoptosis, the natural death and elimination of fat cells from the body. 

Once these cells are destroyed, they do not return, making Lipodissolve results typically long-lasting, especially when supported by a healthy diet, regular exercise routine, and an overall healthy lifestyle. Many patients notice significant improvements in stubborn areas like the double chin, bra fat, saddle bags, outer thighs, and upper arms after a series of multiple treatments.

While Lipodissolve is not intended for major weight loss, it’s an ideal non-surgical alternative to plastic surgery for those looking to eliminate localized fat without the downtime of invasive surgery. Most patients return to normal activities shortly after treatment, though common side effects like swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites may occur. These symptoms are temporary and can be eased with compression garments and post-procedure care to reduce swelling. 

How Many Sessions Are Needed for the Best Results?

Most patients have 4-10 sessions of Lipodissolve treatment to reach their best possible results. The number of sessions you will require depends on which area of the body you wish to treat, your goal results, and the amount of fat you wish to reduce. Dr. Mercado will advise a specific treatment plan for you during a consultation or recommend other fat reduction treatments based on your unique goals. 

Lipodissolve FAQs

What is Lipodissolve?

Lipodissolve is a minimally invasive fat reduction treatment that involves injecting a solution of phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid into localized fat deposits. The injected solution breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time.

How does Lipodissolve work?

The active ingredients in Lipodissolve cause the fat cell membranes to break down, allowing the fat inside the cells to be released and metabolized by the body. Over a period of weeks, the treated area becomes slimmer and more contoured as fat is removed through the lymphatic system.

What areas of the body can be treated with Lipodissolve?

Lipodissolve is commonly used to treat small, stubborn fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise. Popular areas include the double chin, abdomen, love handles, thighs, bra bulge, and upper arms.

How many Lipodissolve treatments will I need?

Most patients need a series of 2–6 treatments spaced several weeks apart, depending on the treatment area and the amount of fat present.

When will I see results from Lipodissolve?

Visible improvements typically begin to appear within 4 to 6 weeks after the first treatment, with optimal results seen after completing the full series. Since the fat is removed gradually, results look natural and progressive.

Is Lipodissolve permanent?

Yes, the fat cells destroyed by Lipodissolve are permanently eliminated. However, maintaining your results depends on a healthy lifestyle.

Is Lipodissolve safe?

Lipodissolve is generally safe when performed by a trained medical professional. Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection site.

Who is a good candidate for Lipodissolve?

The ideal candidate for Lipodissolve is someone in good general health with localized pockets of fat that haven’t responded to diet and exercise. It is best suited for individuals close to their ideal weight who want to refine specific areas of the body.

How much does Lipodissolve cost?

The cost of Lipodissolve varies depending on the number of areas treated and the number of sessions required. A consultation will give you a more accurate estimate based on your goals.

Can Lipodissolve treat cellulite?

Lipodissolve is primarily designed for fat reduction, not cellulite treatment. While it may slightly improve the appearance of mild cellulite due to fat volume reduction, it is not specifically formulated to target the fibrous bands or skin texture changes that cause cellulite.
