Injectable Fat Dissolving (Double Chin)

An injectable lipolysis treatment for a small pocket of fat under the chin, where a solution is injected to break down fat cells in the treated area for a more defined jawline and neck profile. It is intended for localised, diet- and exercise-resistant fat rather than significant weight loss, and works best as a short course. The physician assesses suitability and the likely number of sessions at consultation.

Injectable fat dissolving, or lipolysis, targets a defined pocket of unwanted fat — most commonly the submental area under the chin that can blur the jawline. A solution is injected directly into the fat, where it is associated with disrupting fat-cell membranes so the contents are gradually cleared by the body over the following weeks. The result is a more defined chin and neck profile in suitable patients. At Klinika LA Beauty the area is assessed first to confirm it is localised fat rather than loose skin or muscle laxity, since lipolysis is not a skin-tightening or weight-loss treatment. The injections take around twenty to thirty minutes; afterwards swelling, tenderness and sometimes firmness or bruising in the area are common for several days to a couple of weeks, which is an expected part of how the treatment works. Because fat is cleared gradually, a short course of sessions spaced a few weeks apart is usually needed, with results building over time. It is best suited to adults at a stable, healthy weight with a small, persistent fat pocket that resists diet and exercise. The physician reviews suitability, the likely number of sessions and contraindications beforehand; the treatment is avoided in pregnancy and breastfeeding and where there is infection in the area.
