Nancy Richardson, M.D.

Nancy Richardson MD Dr. Richardson is a general practice physician who has been practicing medicine for over 35 years. She is board certified in Bariatric Medicine (medical weight loss) and is a Diplomat of the American Board of Bariatric Medicine. Dr. Richardson has also received extensive training in lipodissolve, and is certified by the American Society for Nonsurgical Aesthetics and the International Meso-Lipotherapy Society. She is one of the few physicians in Minnesota trained and certified to treat both obesity and its associated medical conditions, as well as lipodissolve.

Dr. Richardson finds helping people achieve a healthier weight and self-mage to be very rewarding. "Nothing makes me happier than to help someone lose a medically significant amount of weight and improve their health.We see improvements in cholesterol, diabetes, and hypertension, as well as other weight related conditions," says Dr. Richardson. As far as lipodissolve therapy, Dr. Richardson appreciates the difference a slimmer body makes for those who have fatty deposits that are difficult to remove. "Lipodissolve is a great compliment to what we do for weight loss. It's important to distinguish between the two treatments. Lipodissolve is not a treatment for weight loss. In fact, there are increased health risks for people who are obese who have lipodissolve, simply because of their weight. Lipodissolve is an excellent alternative to liposuction for people who want to feel better a bout their bodies by removing isolated pockets of fat from their body. It is a non-invasive, more affordable option that leads to excellent contouring of the body, and ultimately, more personal satisfaction with one's appearance."

Dr. Richardson cautions people interested in lipodissolve to do their homework. "Don't settle for a clinic that offers lipodissolve performed by someone who is not trained, experienced, and certified in this procedure. It matters that the practitioner knows the right and wrong ways of performing this procedure, who is a good candidate, what medications they are using, and what precautions they take to increase the likelihood of an excellent result. If you aren't comfortable at the clinic or feel you are being "upsold" to other cosmetic procedures, keep looking. It's your body. You deserve the best possible outcome."
