Our fat dissolving injections are a non-surgical injectable treatment for fat under the chin. Excess fat under the chin can occur for a variety of reasons and can be difficult to remove with diet and exercise alone. Fat dissolving injections work by breaking down fat cells in the treated area, typically after a series of injections.
Unlike liposuction which can have up to a few weeks of recovery, fat dissolving injections are a walk-in walk-out appointment with minimal social downtime. It’s a minimally invasive alternative that involves a number of small injections of dissolving product into the target area. With side effects including mild swelling and discomfort, you can resume your normal activities within a few days.
Each fat dissolving treatment only takes around one hour – so you can get back to your usual activities sooner. We usually recommend 2-4 treatments in total, and we’ll tailor a plan for you at your consultation. Final results are visible once the body has removed all dissolved fat cells – usually after 12 weeks. So if you’re looking to regain your confidence while targeting stubborn areas of fat, fat dissolving injections can bring your aesthetic goals to life.
The injections contain an active ingredient that occurs naturally in your body. This substance aids in the digestion of fat stored in the food we eat. When administered into fatty areas, the active ingredient breaks down fat cells. The fat cells are then eliminated by your body via your kidneys.
During the treatment, your surgeon will cleanse your skin with an antiseptic solution. To prevent any discomfort, a numbing cream will be applied to your skin. Your surgeon will then administer several injections under your chin. The entire process will usually take 30 minutes or less. After the procedure, you can return to your regular activities.
After 2 to 12 weeks, you should expect to see a reduction in the appearance of your double chin. You’ll notice that your jawline and neck area becomes slimmer and more refined.
Yes! Once the fat cells are broken down, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. As a result, the effects of the procedure are permanent and you will not need maintenance treatment.
