Double Chin Reduction
Double chin, also known as submental fat, is a common condition that occurs when a layer of fat forms below your chin. It is often associated with weight gain. Genetics or loose skin resulting from ageing may also cause a double chin.
How does it work?
An FDA approved procedure, Injection Lipolysis chemically reduces the number of fat cells around the injection site. The chemical called deoxycholic acid results in fat cell disruption and death. After the local anaesthesia has been applied, a precise amount of medication is injected in a grid pattern that has been pre-marked on the skin beneath the chin.
Optimising results
For optimum results, a minimum of 4 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, are needed. There is no downtime but patients may experience bruising, swelling, and redness. Fat reduction is typically visible by 8 weeks.
