Taking A Stab At Lipodissolve
Getting flabby around the mid-section? Thinking of giving up that diet that’s just making you crabby, craving for carbs, and still with a flabby mid-section? Actually considering surgery to make your tummy concave instead of convex in those new skinny jeans? Well, take heart. Here comes lipodissolve, a supposed fat-melting technology that promises the same results as a regular liposuction, only without the surgery. A modern miracle, you say? Let’s take a closer look at what it promises first, before we go calling all the body image saints, their seraphim, and all their beard-trimmers to shower us with lipodissolve manna, shall we?
In a nutshell, lipodissolve is a syringe-induced fat-melting series of medical treatments, also known in medical and cosmetic surgery circles as mesotherapy or lipolysis. Still very much “lipo” by nature, this aims to get rid of all those love handles brought about by the love of an excessive lifestyle, or even saddlebags most attribute to the middle age spread. The ingredients usually include multivitamins, alpha lipid acid, enzymes, and a chemical called (hold your breath now) phosphatidylcholine or PCDC. It’s a virtual chemical cocktail in one syringe, but the real controversy that surrounds lipodissolve is that there is no standard list of ingredients for said treatment.
While other surgeons think adding anti-inflammatory drugs to the mix will help, others have different notions of what a lipodissolve compound ought to be like. Also, the ingredients, on their own, are usually not FDA-approved; or, in the case of phosphatidylcholine, are definitely not approved to be part of a syringe chemical cocktail.
Still, the thought of a virtually pain-free fat-melting technology is definitely attractive to plenty of people. Let’s just say you’re ready to go through with it no matter what the consequences are. But first try to answer this question that lipodissolve brings: once the fat gets liquefied by the injection, where does it go, really? Seems like nobody knows for sure. Does it go into the liver? If so, doesn’t that up the risk for liver failure because of all the fatty deposits? If it goes into the blood vessels, the problem of a stroke or a heart attack might rear their ugly, artery-clogged heads.
The sad “bottom” (pun unintended) line for lipodissolve is that is not yet FDA-approved. Consequently, no safety or benefits information can be filed in conjunction with its going mainstream. Established groups of plastic surgeons are still studying the right protocol for this medical procedure, and so neither recommendations nor doctor referrals are being done as opposed to the more tried and tested liposuction. In fact, certain places like Kansas and Nebraska have issued or are still in the process of issuing a ban against lipodissolve. Nevada might be next, according to sources.
But experiments on lipodissolve are nevertheless currently underway. The long-term aims are to standardize the ingredients for the injection, and to dole out the series of treatments properly, with a proposal of 8-week gaps between treatments. Seems like a good enough promise for those who really want to lose their belly fat: as of June 2008, ten people have already signed up to lend their tummies to lipodissolve experiments. The question is, would you, for a little roll of flesh in your mid-section?
