Fat Dissolving Injections Belly | Chin Fat Dissolving Injections | Lipodissolve | Lipolytic Injections
How does Lipodissolve Work?
Lipodissolve primarily comprises phosphatidylcholine (PPC), which disrupts fat cells when injected into subcutaneous fat. As a result, the fat is released from the cell, removed through natural body systems, and eliminated from your body. PPC is derived from soybeans and has been used in cosmetic medicine for localised fat reduction for over ten years. Fat-dissolving injections primarily reduce localised fat deposits but have some skin-tightening benefits.
Because the injections break down the fat cells, they are also called lipolytic injections. However, these injections do not replace liposuction or weight loss if you have significant areas requiring reduction. Instead, lipolytic injections are used as a spot treatment for body sculpting, cellulite removal and even for correcting post-liposuction lumps and bumps.
Chin Fat Dissolving Injections
Our most common treatment with Lipodissolve is to reduce excess chin fat or a double chin. A double chin can develop even in people of average weight, appearing to have a genetic predisposition. The unfortunate thing about chin fat is that it makes you look older and more significant than your actual age and weight. On the other hand, chin fat-dissolving injections are face-slimming and help you appear younger – a bonus!
- An initial consultation with our cosmetic doctors will determine whether you are a suitable treatment candidate and review your medical history.
- A series of treatments is required (2-6) spaced six weeks apart for optimal results.
- Before the chin fat dissolving injections, we will take before photos so you can compare the results.
- After marking up the chin area and cleaning it with antiseptic, our doctors will inject local anaesthetic before the Lipodissolve chin injections begin. Once numbed, the procedure is more comfortable.
- After treatment, expect 5 – 14 days of swelling, tenderness, redness, heat, and possibly some bruising.
- It would be best if you did not get the chin fat-dissolving injections before an important event (it does cause a lot of swelling)
- Drink plenty of water, and apply a cold pack if needed.
Fat Dissolving Injections Results and Recovery
Results: Lipodissolve chin treatment permanently reduces fat if you maintain your healthy diet, activity and body weight. However, the results are not evident immediately. In addition, there is significant swelling after the treatment, lasting up to ten days. Therefore, it is crucial to factor in the timing of injections so you do not have any critical events afterwards.
- Two to five treatments spaced four weeks apart are required to achieve the desired slimming results. This, however, is dependent on individual responses.
- The skin will tighten as the chin swelling goes down as the fat deposits shrink.
- As with all fat-reducing treatments, a small percentage of people for whom it does not work or only works in a limited way (approximately 5 per cent). Unfortunately, we cannot predict who will be in this small minority, so we cannot provide a guarantee.
- The results will last if you maintain an average activity level, diet, and body weight. (i.e. don’t think it is free reign with fast foods after treatment – the results will only disappoint).

- Localised inflammation in the fat can cause tender lumps, requiring local steroid injections to settle.
