Fat-Dissolving Injections

Fat-Dissolving Injections - the "Silver Bullet" of Plastic Surgery

For those pursuing the dream of a perfect body, fat-dissolving injections - also called lipolysis therapy - are the first choice. Excess pounds and fad pads can literally vanish into thin air. What remains is the ultimate dream body. The active substance is injected via a very thin needle directly into the area concerned, causing the fat cells to be dissolved. But what is the real story behind lipolysis therapy?

A particular substance is injected directly into the unwanted deposit of fat. Though not exactly a new miracle method for losing weight it enables the fat in specific individual regions of the body to be broken down and then be absorbed by the body' metabolism. That is, the fat which is released is then naturally and permanently disposed of by the body.

The very substances used have already been known for a long time. They have been, for instance, applied intravenously in cases of fat embolism. Some 10 years ago, a Brazilian gynecologist started injecting this substance into unwanted fat pads in order to dissolve them. Although in Germany lipolysis therapy is being administered in a number of clinics, several plastic surgeons are warning against its application. They argue that, other than liposuction, lipolysis therapy were harder to handle and its effects not entirely predictable. Moreover, the disposing of the injected substance by the body may face problems when the metabolic pathway does not work properly.

Obviously, fat-dissolving injections are best applied as a measure additional to liposuction operations. Here the best results can be achieved when the therapy is administered to the patient as an after-treatment method to correct an inadequate liposuction performance. It is however absolutely essential that your doctor has explained the procedure and any associated risks prior to the treatment. Several independent studies confirm the findings and of one of the leading medical specialists and verify the exact limitations and risks of this treatment.

There have always been people who have voiced their concern regarding side effects and bad results due to a poorly administered lipolysis therapy, but they rely obviously on data gathered in the early stages of this application. At that time, Brazilian pigs were used to test the substance and got severely harmed by misapplications. There exact composition of the then new substance called phosphatidylcholin, which was administered to animals, remained unclear.

After fat-dissolving injections, there can occur a painful reddening of skin. Also, one of the more frequently occurring side effects are that the bodily areas under treatment may be hardening or leave small dents from forming in the skin. In such cases, after treatments are longsome and oftentimes not very convincing.

Therefore, any fundamental decision regarding lipolysis therapy should be discussed with a qualified and experienced doctor. A traceable record of treatments in this field and sufficient professional qualification are prerequisites for a sensitive and productive consultation. Ask for references and you will see whether or not you have found a doctor of your trust.

Any consumption of these pills ought to be administered and monitored by doctors, who possess the knowledge necessary to specify the individual doses.

Time and again, these notorious "wonder pills" appear on the market, promising dieters to burn, block, or flush fat from their bodies. New ingredients, such as hoodia or guggulsterone, are being advertised as the latest rage from research labs. However, already spores of them should be treated with great caution as verifiable scientific results are just in the making.
