A regional anesthesia is quite similar to sedation in that you are still awake, drowsy, and likely unable to remember the procedure, though this type of anesthesia creates a block against the surrounding nerves in the direct area the surgery is being performed on.

The new wave to eliminating excess fat has finally arrived. Although it is still in it’s experimental stages, lipodissolve is believed by some to be the new medical technology of the future pertaining to liposuction procedures.

The lipodissolve procedure reflects it’s name in that it uses a series of injections meant to dissolve away small fat deposits. The procedure is fairly safe, though still questionable because it lacks a standard ingredient list. Each doctor may be using different ingredients for the lipodissolve procedure, making it somewhat risky.

Along with that factor, it is also a concern in question that it is not entirely know as to where the fat goes once it’s dissolved. Since the fat is not actually being taken out of the body, some wonder where it’s actually going.
