Lipodissolve is a proven non-surgical liposuction procedure although it is not without its risks. Some of the complications include cysts, bruising, and general discomfort. Although lipo-dissolve injections have been proven to melt away fat, the chemical compounds used in the injections have not been thoroughly tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for fat reduction.

When considering a lipoplasty procedure, it is important to consider the risks. A surgical complication is any undesirable result of surgery, and the most common complication of liposuction is a result that causes the patient to be unhappy. This is usually caused by unrealistic expectations by the patient before the surgery, so it is imperative that there is accurate communication between the surgeon and the patient.
