I’ve had fat reducing injections

[Sohololopopo]

I got them today. I haven’t told anyone. I’ve lost 5 lbs and I’m happy with how small I am except the tub at the bottom of my tummy. I’m booking in to get my love handles done if this is successful.

Apparently these have always been huge everywhere... other than here. They’ve been around for years but are just entering the UK market.

Fingers crossed. I just wanted to tell someone!

Do tell OP! These sound miraculous. How did you go about getting them?

Eh? How the hell does that work 🧐

Where do you get them from? GP or dentist?

Isn't losing multiple pounds in a day a recipe for loose skin?

Snake oil.

@PersonaNonGarter what on earth is snake oil?!

They’re called Aqualyx. It basically dissolves fat over a period of time, in hard to get rid of places. So I’ve got it done right at the bottom of my stomach and I’m getting it done on my live handles if this is successful.

So really today, I can’t tell you how good they are. My stomach is swollen right now, and it hurts. But this is to be expected and was advised.

The clinician basically directly injects it into your fatty bits and disrupted it evenly throughout.

It’s meant to dissolve the fat into water diabetics can’t have it done.

Well people a lot bigger than me have had it done without loose skin so I hope not or I’ll have to go under the knife!!! But apparently not!

I’ve never heard of this, so had a quick look online. OMG, it looks like the answer to my prayers for my double chin/incipient jowls!!

Can you keep us informed how you get on over the next wee while, while the swelling subsides?

@Tolleshunt yes! A lot of people get it on the chin!

Yes I’ll post the before and after pics, and let those of you interested know how it goes! I’m excited though in a bit of uncomfortable pain right now!

Oh OP! Sounds amazing. What's
The cost roughly?

@PersonaNonGarter Nope this isn’t deceptive marketing at all. I’m not in the business... though I am a saleswoman... I can see from my OP how you might have thought that though. Soz!

Blimey! How much are they op? And do you need you keep having them?
Oh and how longs it taken to lose 5 pounds?

How much did you pay?

@sunshine5997 well mine was £180 Introductory price for approx a 15cm piece of fat (the bottom of my stomach). So ridiculously cheap really! But it is a ‘small’ area. So it would cost that much about for your chin i would guess which is what a lot of people go for.

I just wanted to talk about it because I’m too embarrassed to tell my friends, even though there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Even my partner doesn’t know Ha!

My stomach has swelled quite a bit but that was explained.

The pain was fine, but the clinician used something within the aqualyx which apparently makes it sting a lot less, so I was very lucky as a lot of clinics don’t use it apparently to cut costs.

How painful is it? I hope not too much. I saw from one of the sites that you’re not meant to take ibuprofen afterwards, which is a bit of bummer if you’re very sore.

I’m really sorry everyone my OP is shite!!

I’ve lost 5lbs myself through exercising and dieting... So not off the injections! I’m really sorry if that was misleading.

I put that there because I’m at the weight I wish to be but have this little podge at the bottom of my stomach that just will not budge!!!! It’s stubborn fat! So that is where I have had the injections x

Wait. You lost 5 pound on the first day?? How does that even work?!

Oh I see, cross post, sorry

I hope it works!
Bloody good idea.

@Tolleshunt I’ve taken ibru! And have remained fine as far as I’m aware!

Well the needle itself is quite large around 10-15cm. So I began to freak out when I seen it at first. She lined up the fat I wanted rid of and then inserted the needle. One insertion on each side of the flab. I have bruising on each side when the needle has been and it’s very tender. I can’t exercise for 1 week. The pain was uncomfortable and cringey, kind of not as bad as I expected really!

@RickOShay me too! Or I will not be happy at all!

When will you see results and post pictures?!

What exactly are they injecting into you? And who is the “clinician”? Are they medically trained? I’ve got to say, I would be extremely reluctant to let someone who wasn’t a medical professional inject random substances into me.

Also watching! When do you expect to see results?

I think deoxycholic acid stops your birth control working, just incase you're on anything!

What are the contraindications op? You say diabetics can't have this done so I'm guessing this is not without it's risks? Did you sign a consent?
