For a lot of people, exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet will not reduce the fat beneath the chin. Patients can now permanently remove unwanted chin fat by having fat dissolving injections.
Fat dissolving injections are a non-surgical option to dissolve and permanently remove small areas of stubborn fat, such as a double chin. These injections can be used to sculpt, contour and define the lower face as well as remove stubborn fat elsewhere on the body.
The fat dissolving substance is a powerful enzyme that splits the fat cell membranes contained within the double chin. Once these cells are destroyed, they are permanently excreted over the course of 4-12 weeks and once gone will never return. As the body reacts to the fat dissolving injections, the skin also tightens and firms around the neck, chin and jaw due to increased collagen production.
While one session of fat dissolving injections shows visible results on any treated fat cell, those who undergo at least 2 to 3 sessions see dramatic results in the elimination of their double chin and significant enhancement to their facial profile.
Double chin injectable treatments are tailored specifically to the needs of each patient after a consultation with a cosmetic nurse injector at Mode Medispa. During consultations, our nurse evaluates the neck and discusses the patient’s medical history to ensure double chin injections are appropriate. For example, a patient with very loose neck skin may not be a good candidate for the procedure. These patients may be a perfect candidate for lower face-neck lift performed by our surgeon Dr Shagun Aggarwal.
Once approved, the treatment begins with thoroughly cleansing the neck and below the chin. Our cosmetic nurse then uses a pen to mark a grid of specific injection sites and determines the correct dosage for the patient. After the nurse completes making the injections ice is applied to the treatment area. Noticeable swelling will occur immediately after treatment and last 2-4 days following the procedure, this is a positive indicator of the treatment’s progression. It is important that patients refrain from using any medication that decreases the swelling during this time. In addition to swelling, patients may also experience some mild pain and bruising which can last for several weeks. A Panadol may be taken to help with discomfort.
You should not massage the injection sites for 72 hours. Because the fat cells die gradually, results may not be visible for up to 6 weeks and may not be visible until after the second or third treatment. Also, skin continues to tighten after treatment even after the swelling subsides.
The procedure does involve a small amount of downtime where the patient should refrain from any strenuous physical activity or exercise for 3 to 5 days after treatment.
Alternative option to address neck fat is liposuction performed by Dr Aggarwal. To some patients neck liposuction is less appealing, because it is more invasive, so more downtime is required. It involves small incisions and a liposuction compression garment needs to be worn afterward. Double chin injections are nonsurgical, so no time off work is required, and the downtime is minimal.
