Lipodissolve Surgeon

This is the process of dissolving excess fat through injections. In this procedure, Phosphatidylcholine (PPC) is injected directly into unwanted fat deposits. What distinguishes Lipodissolve from other methods is that, in addition to reducing fat, it also includes the tightening of loose skin, resulting in a more natural body contour compared to other fat reduction procedures.

• What are the benefits of Lipodissolve over surgical techniques such as liposuction for body shaping?

  Lipodissolve differs significantly from liposuction in several ways. Firstly, Lipodissolve is a non-surgical procedure that doesn't require general anesthesia. It is a straightforward outpatient treatment with minimal to no recovery time. Beyond the procedural distinctions, the outcomes are notably distinct as well.

  While liposuction removes entire fat cells, Lipodissolve targets and dissolves fat within the fat cells, which is then naturally flushed from the body. In the case of liposuction, although fat is reduced, cellulite is not effectively addressed, whereas Lipodissolve addresses both fat reduction and cellulite. This comprehensive approach contributes to the natural-looking results achieved with Lipodissolve.

  If an individual gains weight following Lipodissolve, the fat tends to return to the treated area, as opposed to liposuction where fat can redistribute to areas that were previously unaffected. Furthermore, Lipodissolve includes the benefit of skin tightening in conjunction with fat reduction.

• The Working Principle

  Lipodissolve operates based on a specialized formula meticulously developed by the skilled dermatologists at Kosmoderma. This solution includes lecithin derived from soybeans, which enhances the activity of the enzyme lipase responsible for fat breakdown in the body.

• Lipodissolve at Kosmoderma

  During the Lipodissolve procedure at Kosmoderma, a very fine needle, typically measuring 4 to 6 mm, is used to inject the medication just beneath the skin's surface, targeting the fatty layer.

  The treatment generally involves making multiple small injections to cover the entire designated area. To ensure patient comfort, the physician may apply topical creams or solutions to numb the skin.

  Following the procedure, a gentle massage is administered over the treated area. This massage serves to facilitate the circulation of the medication and provide a soothing experience for the patient. While the solution is being absorbed by the fat cells, some individuals may experience a mild burning sensation, which typically subsides within a few minutes.

  The reduced fat is transported to the liver via the lymphatic system, where it undergoes breakdown. The fat is then excreted through the body's natural excretion pathway.

• How does Lipodissolve promote spot reduction?

  The tailored formulation not only inhibits fat storage in cells but also aids in the breakdown of existing fat cells. This specifically targets spot reduction in areas such as double chins, abdomen, love handles, saddlebags, thighs, buttocks, and upper arms.

• What happens to the reduced fat?

  The reduced fat is transported to the liver through the lymphatic system, where it undergoes breakdown. Subsequently, the fat is excreted via the body's regular excretion pathway.

• Pre treatments advice:
  • Refrain from consuming caffeine and alcohol on the day of the treatment.
  • Opt for loose-fitting attire.
• Post Procedure Care
  • Consume a high-protein meal before the treatment.
  • Refrain from taking a shower or bath for a minimum of 8 hours following the treatment.
  • Avoid activities such as swimming, steam baths, saunas, and massages for 48 hours after the treatment.
  • Steer clear of caffeine, carbonated drinks, and alcohol for 24 hours following the treatment.
  • Stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water (2-3 liters per day).
  • Consider adopting a low-carb meal plan during your first week.
  • Attempt to avoid eating after 7 PM on three nights each week.
• The expected Results

  The results are contingent on individual body types and the specific condition being treated. Typically, most patients observe improvements after two sessions, and in some instances, results become apparent following the initial session. It's important to note that this method primarily leads to a reduction in centimeters or inches rather than overall weight. The extent of centimeter loss varies depending on your body type and muscle tone.

  These expected outcomes are typically observed two months post-treatment:

  • Abdomen : An average reduction of 6 to 7 centimeters, with a potential maximum reduction of up to 18 centimeters.*
  • Thighs : An average reduction of 4 to 6 centimeters for each thigh, with a potential maximum reduction of up to 12 centimeters per thigh.*
  • Arms : An average reduction of 2.5 to 4 centimeters for each arm, with a potential maximum reduction of up to 7 centimeters per arm.*
  • Double chin : An average reduction of 3 to 4 centimeters, with a potential maximum reduction of up to 5 centimeters.*
  • Love Handles : An average reduction of 4 to 6 centimeters, with a potential maximum reduction of up to 12 centimeters.*

  The results are enduring, especially when combined with a regimen of exercise and proper nutrition. However, it's important to acknowledge that the natural aging process continues, so maintenance treatments are recommended. In follow-up studies, patients have successfully maintained their results for over 7 years.*

  Kosmoderma advises spacing treatments 4 to 8 weeks apart, depending on the amount of solution injected. It typically takes between 3 to 5 sessions to achieve the full results. Over 80% of patients express satisfaction with the outcomes after 3 to 4 treatments. As treatments progress, the effects are cumulative, with increasingly noticeable results.

• How many sessions are usually required?

  The treatment plan is personalized for each patient, taking into consideration their unique body type. Depending on the quantity of solution administered, Kosmoderma recommends spacing the sessions 4 to 8 weeks apart. It generally requires between 3 to 5 sessions to attain the desired results. Remarkably, over 80% of patients express satisfaction with the outcomes after undergoing 3 to 4 treatments.

  It's essential to note that the effects are cumulative, and as the treatments progress, the results become increasingly noticeable. In specific cases, depending on individual body characteristics, combining this procedure with Mesotherapy may be suggested for enhanced results.

• Is the treatment painful?

  You may feel a mild pinch or a slight burning sensation during the injection process. However, it's important to note that the injection itself is not very deep, and the discomfort is minimal.

• Are there any side effects?

  Following the treatment, you may experience swelling, redness, bruising, sensitivity to pressure, and itching, which can occur immediately. Typically, these side effects subside within 24 to 48 hours.* No additional side effects have been reported.

• Are there any restrictions?

  Lipodissolve is not recommended for individuals with the following conditions:

  • Insulin Dependent Diabetes
  • Pregnant Women
  • History of Stroke or Recent Heart Attack
  • History of Deep Venous Thrombosis or Blood Clots
  • Patients with Current Bronchial Infections
  • History of Cancer or Liver Diseases
  • Cardiac Arrhythmias
