Fat Dissolving

Treatment

Fat Dissolving

Fat dissolving injections reduce small pockets of fat such as a double chin. Your doctor injects a solution to break down fat cells. Your body then clears the fat over several weeks.

Benefits

Suitable Candidates

Procedure

Your doctor assesses the fat layer and marks a grid on the area. A numbing cream goes on first. Your doctor then injects small amounts of the solution into the fat layer. The session takes 20 to 30 minutes.

Recovery

Expect swelling, tenderness, redness and numbness for 1 to 2 weeks. Swelling is a normal part of the process. Skip intense exercise and heat for 48 hours. Results show after 4 to 6 weeks.
