Fat Dissolving Injections

Fat dissolving injections use deoxycholic acid, a substance the body makes to break down dietary fat, to destroy fat cells permanently in a small area. The licensed product is sold as Kybella in the United States and Belkyra elsewhere, and is approved for fullness under the chin.

It works, but slowly, over several sessions, and with considerable swelling after each one. It is for small pockets only and is not a substitute for liposuction.

What Fat Dissolving Injections involves

The doctor marks a grid on the area and gives a series of small injections into the fat layer, about a centimetre apart. The acid disrupts the fat cell membranes; the body clears the contents over the following weeks, and the inflammation also tightens the skin a little.

Who is a good candidate for Fat Dissolving Injections?

The best candidate has a small, pinchable pocket of fat and firm skin.

• Moderate fullness under the chin
• Small localised pockets, used off-label by experienced doctors
• Good skin elasticity
• Prefers injections to surgery and accepts several sessions

It is usually not the right choice if:

• Loose neck skin or muscle bands, which look worse once fat is gone
• A large volume of fat, where liposuction is quicker and cheaper overall
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Difficulty swallowing, previous neck surgery or infection in the area
• Unlicensed products: many cheap lipolysis injections contain untested mixtures

الخيارات التقنية

• Deoxycholic acid: the licensed active ingredient
• Under-chin treatment: the approved use
• Off-label areas: such as jowls or bra fat, where evidence is more limited
• Alternatives: chin liposuction, which gives a bigger change in one session

ماذا يحدث خلال علاجك

A session takes 20 to 30 minutes. It burns for 10 to 15 minutes afterwards, then aches. Ice and numbing help.

الإعداد لرحلتك

Two to four sessions are needed, at least four weeks apart. Swelling after each is obvious for a week or more. For someone travelling, chin liposuction in a single visit is usually the more practical choice.

• Tell the doctor about medication, allergies, pregnancy or breastfeeding, and any history of cold sores, keloid scars or autoimmune disease
• Avoid alcohol, aspirin and anti-inflammatory painkillers for a few days beforehand if your own doctor agrees, to reduce bruising
• Arrive without make-up on the treatment area and avoid sunbeds and strong sun for two weeks before

التعافي والنتائج

Marked swelling, often described as a bullfrog look, lasts one to two weeks, with numbness and firm areas for up to a month. Results appear four to six weeks after each session.

• Back to everyday activity: 1 to 2 weeks of swelling
• When results show: 4 to 6 weeks after each session
• How long they last: Permanent with stable weight

سياسة السلامة والمخاطر والتنقيح

Most effects are expected and temporary. The important ones to know:

• Swelling, bruising, numbness and firmness
• Injury to the marginal mandibular nerve, causing an uneven smile for weeks
• Difficulty swallowing for a few days
• Skin ulceration or hair loss in the area if injected too superficially
• Uneven contour
