Fat Dissolving Injections in Englewood, FL

Submental fat, also called the double chin, is notoriously resistant to diet and exercise. Injectable deoxycholic acid permanently destroys fat cells in the treated area without surgery and without general anesthesia.

What Are Fat Dissolving Injections?

Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring bile acid that the body uses to break down dietary fat. When injected into subcutaneous fat, it destroys the fat cell membrane, causing cell death. The body then gradually processes and eliminates the destroyed cells over 4 to 6 weeks following each session. Because fat cells are permanently destroyed, the results from a completed treatment course are long-lasting. The most common treatment area is the submental region, the fat pad beneath the chin responsible for the double chin appearance. Fat dissolving injections can also be used for small localized fat deposits in other areas, though the submental area is the most evidence-supported application. Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to achieve their goal. The exact number depends on the amount of fat present and the desired result. Quynh assesses the submental area at consultation and gives an honest estimate of the number of sessions needed at A Younger You Wellness Medspa.

What to Expect

Important downtime note:

Fat dissolving injections in the submental area produce significant swelling, bruising, and numbness for 1 to 2 weeks after each session. This is a normal part of the treatment process, not a complication. Patients should plan for this when scheduling appointments. The swelling gradually resolves and results become visible at 4 to 6 weeks.

Session:

30 to 45 minutes. Multiple small injections placed across the treatment area using a fine needle. Topical numbing applied. Session is tolerable for most patients.

Results:

Visible at 4 to 6 weeks after each session. Full results assessed after the treatment course is complete. Results are permanent as treated fat cells do not regenerate.

EXPECTATIONS AND FIT

Fat dissolving injections produce meaningful, permanent reduction in submental fat when the treatment course is completed. Most patients see a visible change in their jawline and chin definition. Results vary.

A strong fit for patients who:

  • Have submental fat or a double chin that has not responded to diet and exercise
  • Want permanent fat reduction without surgery
  • Are prepared for the downtime associated with each session
  • Understand that 2 to 4 sessions are typically needed for optimal results

This may not be the right approach if:

  • Your double chin is primarily caused by loose skin rather than fat. Fat dissolving injections reduce fat but may not improve skin laxity. Quynh advises on this at consultation.
  • You cannot accommodate 1 to 2 weeks of visible swelling after each session for personal or professional reasons.
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
