Several medical societies have issued statements warning against the use of injectable fat removal treatments known as lipolysis, lipotherapy, or lipo dissolve

Physician's Coalition for Injectable Safety

The Physician's Coalition for Injectable Safety is an alliance of physician organizations including the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery. The Coalition was formed to raise awareness of the appropriate use and setting for receiving injectable therapies (from http://www. Injectablesafety.org). In October 2007, the Coalition issued a warning that "fat-dissolving, fat melting, injection lipolysis or other injectable treatments touted to reduce localized body fat are unproven medical treatments." The Coalition advises consumers about the importance of FDA-approval for pharmaceuticals, especially those injected into the body.
