The fat deposits dissolve after the administration of tiny shots but many doctors have warned that some of the concoctions used are not approved by the American’s Food and Drug Administration. The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery warned that lipodisssolve shots were scientifically unproven.

As the popularity of the injections has grown, so have the complaints. A survey made in 2006 showed that 12% of patients showed disappointment with the result of the injections. This treatment has side effects and complications such as temporarily hyperpigmentation, intense pain and allergic reactions.

The custom mixing of ingredients that are approved for different uses is part of the concern over lipodissolve injections.

The FDA has not approved any “fat busting” drugs.

The cost of this treatment goes from US$900 upwards which is a lot of money for a drug that has not been proven to work.
