Overview & Procedure

What the treatment is and how it's performed

What it is

Fat under the chin can be hereditary and remain even at a normal weight. Fat-dissolving injections break down the fat cells in a defined area, and the body removes them gradually over a few weeks. The treatment can be combined with skin tightening, so the skin under the chin firms up. A doctor assesses whether the fat suits the treatment.

  • Usually two to four treatments four to six weeks apart.

  1. The doctor examines the area and assesses the fat and skin.
  2. The area is marked and cleaned.
  3. Many small injections are placed in the fat.
  4. The area is cooled.

Experience & Recovery

Pain level, downtime and healing

Most people rate the discomfort 4–6 out of 10. It stings and burns for a few minutes after the injections.

  • Common: swelling, tenderness, bruising, numbness and firm areas under the skin for a few weeks.
  • Uncommon: itching or a burning feeling for the first days.
  • Rare: an uneven smile for a few weeks if a nerve near the jawline is affected, discomfort when swallowing, or infection.

  • Cool the area in short sessions for the first days.
  • Avoid hard exercise, saunas and hot baths for 48 hours.
  • Drink plenty of water and keep moving.
  • Sleep with your head slightly raised for the first nights.

Usually 3–7 days of swelling. The area becomes swollen and tender and can feel numb for a few weeks. Many people book the treatment before a few days without important appointments.

Expectations & Safety

Who it's for and safety information

  • Fat cells that have been broken down do not come back, but the remaining fat cells can grow if you gain weight.
  • It often takes several treatments before the result is clear.
  • The treatment is not weight loss but shaping of defined areas.

  • A defined pocket of fat under the chin.
  • A normal or near-normal weight.
  • Good skin elasticity.

  • A lot of loose skin under the chin. Other treatments may suit better.
  • Fullness caused by glands, muscles or goitre. This must be assessed by a doctor.
  • Anyone planning to lose a lot of weight.

The result shows gradually over four to eight weeks after each treatment. It lasts a long time as long as your weight is stable.

  • Infection in the area.
