Fat-Dissolving Injections

Minimally invasive fat-dissolving injections to break down and reduce localised fat deposits in areas such as the chin, abdomen, and thighs.

Tiffiny Yang Aesthetics & Surgery offers fat-dissolving injection treatments using lipolytic agents to target and permanently reduce small pockets of unwanted fat. These injections work by disrupting the fat cell membrane, causing the stored lipids to be released and metabolised by the body's lymphatic system over subsequent weeks. Common treatment areas include the double chin (submental fat), jowls, bra-fat bulges, abdomen, inner thighs, and arms. The procedure involves a series of small injections into the fat layer under local anaesthetic cream, with mild swelling and tenderness expected in the days following treatment as the body clears the disrupted fat cells. Dr Tiffiny Yang assesses each patient individually to determine the appropriate agent, dosage, and number of sessions — typically 2–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Results are gradual and permanent for cells destroyed, though weight gain post-treatment can create new fat deposits. Fat-dissolving injections are an effective option for patients seeking a middle ground between non-invasive contouring and surgical liposuction, particularly for small, well-defined fat pockets.
