Complications of Lipostabil Endovena for treating localized fat deposits
1Private Practice in São Paulo, Brazil.
Background:
Subcutaneous injection of Lipostabil Endovena (Nattermann & Cie, Köln, Germany) has been used to treat periorbital fat pads, as well as localized fat deposits in the abdomen, neck, arms, and thighs. OBJECIVE: The goal of this article was to identify complications resulting from the use of Lipostabil Endovena for treating fat deposits.
Methods:
A prospective study was conducted to identify complications associated with injection lipolysis with Lipostabil Endovena. Patients were surveyed at 48 hours, 2 weeks, and 2 months after the last injection session.
Results:
The 739 patients surveyed received a total of 2852 vials injected. No general symptoms, such as fever, dizziness, gastrointestinal disturbances, or visual disturbances occurred, although local symptoms, including edema, hematoma, pain, and nodules, were reported.
Conclusions:
The lack of any reported general complications after injection lipolysis with Lipostabil Endovena is encouraging. However, larger studies are needed to confirm that the use of Lipostabil Endovena is safe.
