Double Chin

Lipodissolve for Double Chin Reduction uses a solution primarily containing deoxycholic acid, which is injected into the submental area (under the chin). This substance targets and breaks down fat cells, reducing the appearance of a double chin. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring bile acid that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.

Expected Results
After receiving Fat Dissolving Injections for double chin reduction, you can expect a noticeable decrease in the fullness under your chin, leading to a more sculpted jawline. The body gradually eliminates the treated fat cells, gradually improving the double chin area.

Procedure Details
The treatment involves a series of injections into the submental fat —deoxycholic acid works by disrupting the cell membranes of fat cells, causing them to break down. The body then naturally processes and eliminates the released fat.

Is it Painful?
Topical numbing agents, local anesthesia, and nitrous oxide (happy gas) make the procedure comfortable. Some post-treatment swelling or discomfort may occur, but it is usually temporary.

Mechanism of Action
Deoxycholic acid acts as a bile salt that emulsifies and solubilises dietary fats. When injected into the submental fat, it disrupts fat cell membranes, releasing intracellular fat. This triggers an inflammatory response, leading to the removal of fat cell remnants through the lymphatic system.

Timeline for Results
Improvements can be seen within a few weeks to months after the injections. The process is gradual, ensuring a natural-looking transformation.

Downtime and Aftercare
Temporary swelling, bruising, or discomfort may occur. Patients are advised to avoid blood thinning medications preceding the treatment to minimise side effects. Ice packs and proper head elevation can aid in post-treatment care.

Number of Sessions Required
The number of sessions varies based on factors like the amount of submental fat and individual goals. Your BBD practitioner will customise a treatment plan during a consultation.

Results and Longevity
Results become progressively visible as the body metabolises the treated fat cells. Since the destroyed fat cells do not regenerate, the effects can be long-lasting. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can enhance the longevity of the results.

Cost
Prices typically start from $660 per session, depending on the size of the treated area, the number of injections administered and the patient's aesthetic goals. The cost reflects the expertise of practitioners and the commitment to effective and safe treatments.

Use in Other Body Areas
Fat-dissolving injections can also target fat deposits in areas like the love handles, thighs, and abdomen.
