Lipodissolve Costs - is it worth it?

When thinking about any medical procedure, especially one that is not FDA approved, you need to take into account all of the costs associated with such a procedure. What do I mean by that? I mean the dollar costs (i.e. how much money it costs you), the opportunity costs (i.e. the cost of NOT doing the alternative procedure), and the non financial costs (i.e. side-effects of such treatments).

One medical procedure that is not FDA approved is lipodissolve. So, you are probably asking if lipodissolve is safe, and if it's worth it? Or, are the costs associated with lipodissolve to high? At first glance, the costs are really not that bad.

When you sit down and compare lipodissolve to more traditional lipo (liposuction), the financial costs are actually relatively cheap. So does this mean you should just automatically decide lipodissolve is right for you? Or, should you just stick with traditional exercise or go with the more expensive liposuction?

The next two parts of the equation to look at are the opportunity costs associated with not choosing lipodissolve and instead choosing something else, and the non-financial (i.e. non-money costs) involved. Please remember, that just because lipodissolve is cheaper does not make it better nor does it make it worse. Sometimes, the cheaper option is also the better option, depending on your situation.

You don't always go with the cheapest option. For example, how many people drive BMW's when they could very easily go out and by a car from General Motors? Of course, some do, but most people would say that the BMW is worth it because it performs better, and probably last longer. So, are these the cases with lipodissolve versus liposuction? Well, the science is yet to be determined. The FDA has not come out on the subject, so you are going to need to do your own research and decide for yourself. Yes, this decision may not be easy, but you need to decide if the opportunity costs outweigh the financial advantage of lipodissolve or not. You may even find out that there are some great advantages relative to the more traditional lipo surgery.

When looking at costs that are not financial, the most common and most important cost to look at is side effects that may occur as a result of the treatment. While lipodissolve is not known to have tons of side effects, there are a few that you should be aware of before undergoing the procedure. First, I would recommend using lipodissolve only on smaller parts of your body (see above article). Second, both indentions and divits have been known to appear on certain people after treatment. If you are concerned about this (and you should be, but don't be overly concerned), then I strongly urge you to speak with your doctor and find out if lipodissolve is right for you. Don't be afraid to ask the tough questions, as this is a procedure that can and will affect your greatly.
