A small pocket of fat under the chin can be very resistant to diet and exercise, and genetics often play a big part. Fat-dissolving injections are a non-surgical way to reduce it.
How do fat-dissolving injections work?
A solution is injected into the targeted fat. It breaks down the walls of fat cells, and your body then clears them away naturally over the following weeks.
Which areas can be treated?
The area under the chin is the most common. Small stubborn areas such as jowls, bra rolls or the inner knees may also be suitable after assessment.
What to expect
Most people need two to four sessions, spaced about six weeks apart
Swelling, tenderness and bruising are normal for several days after each session
Results build gradually over two to three months
Who is a good candidate?
These injections work best for small, well-defined fat pockets in people near their healthy weight. They are not a weight-loss treatment, and they do not tighten loose skin.
Alternatives we may discuss
If skin laxity is part of the problem, EndoliftX® laser or surgical options such as submental liposuction may give a better result. Because our clinic is surgeon-led, we can recommend the option that genuinely fits your anatomy.
