About the procedure
Injectable lipolysis aims to reduce selected localised fat deposits using an injected preparation. It is not a weight-loss treatment and does not automatically reproduce the effect of liposuction.
Your consultation
The consultation assesses the area, skin and medical history. The exact product and its indication for the proposed area must be explained before a decision; products described as lipolytic are not interchangeable.
What to expect
- Clarify the goal and whether the concern is a fat deposit.
- Discuss the preparation, limitations and other options.
- If appropriate, agree a procedure and response review plan.
Recovery and follow-up
Pain, swelling, bruising and tenderness may occur. Recovery varies with the preparation, area and individual response, so expectations should relate to the specific plan.
What to consider
Risks include infection, nodules, tissue injury and contour irregularities. Cellulite requires separate assessment; the extent and persistence of change depend on the product, area and individual response.
Common questions
Is this a way to lose weight?
No. Assessment concerns a localised area. Broader weight-management goals require a different type of care.
What should be clear beforehand?
The product name, indication for the chosen area, risks, cost of the proposed course and available alternatives.
Discuss the cost before treatment.
Ask for an estimate for your case and clarify what is included: consultations, the procedure, investigations and follow-up visits. The plan and final cost are agreed after assessment.
