I have had this in Maryland. Had my abdomen treated with lipodissolve. Lost about 2.5 inches so far and I have one more treatment to go. It wasn't as bad as I thought. The injections didn't hurt, but it did afterwards. I took some pain medicine and then I was okay. Just sore. Went back to work a day later. I was swollen for about 6 days and then was pretty much back to normal. The first 24 hours are the worst. After that you're fine. I thought about surgery but it was too scary. I've seen some bad stuff online about this procedure and all I can tell you is to ask a ton of questions and make sure the doctor you go to specializes in this procedure. Ask to speak to their patients so you can better prepare. After my next treatment I may move on to my love handles.
