Double Chin Reduction with lipolysis (Liposhot)

Q: What is lipolysis for double chin reduction?

Lipolysis is a non-surgical treatment that uses specialized injections to target and break down fat cells under the chin. The dissolved fat is naturally eliminated by the body’s lymphatic system over time, resulting in a slimmer and more defined jawline.

Q: How does the treatment work?

During the procedure, a trained professional injects a solution (usually containing deoxycholic acid) into the fat layer under the chin. This solution breaks down fat cells, which are then metabolized and removed by the body naturally.

Q: Who is a good candidate for lipolysis?

Ideal candidates are individuals with mild to moderate submental fullness (double chin) who want a non-surgical solution. It is not a weight-loss treatment and works best for those with localized fat deposits under the chin.

Q: How long does the procedure take?

The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the amount of fat being treated.

Q: Is the treatment painful?

Most patients experience mild discomfort during the injections. Numbing agents or ice packs are often used to minimize pain during the procedure.

Q: What should I expect after the treatment?

You may experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated area for a few days. These side effects are temporary and a sign that the treatment is working. Visible results usually appear after a few weeks, with optimal outcomes after multiple sessions.

Q: How many treatments are required?

The number of treatments varies depending on the individual’s goals and the amount of fat under the chin. Most patients need 2-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for best results.

Q: Are there any side effects?

Common side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. Rare side effects may include numbness or uneven results, which can be discussed during the consultation.

Q: How long do the results last?

Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate. With a stable weight and healthy lifestyle, the results can be long-lasting.

Q: Can I return to my daily activities after the procedure?

Yes, lipolysis requires minimal downtime. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately, although it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours.

Question 1

What to expect after dermal fillers?

Answer

After receiving dermal fillers, you can expect some mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a few days. Results are usually visible immediately but may improve over the following weeks as any initial swelling resolves. It's important to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcohol consumption for the first 24-48 hours post-treatment. Additionally, follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your provider, and attend any recommended follow-up appointments for optimal results.

Question 3

Are dermal fillers permanent?

Answer

Dermal fillers offer temporary but enduring skin volumization. To sustain your results, follow-up appointments are necessary, typically ranging from every 4 to 18 months based on the filler brand and formulation. Our physician will inform you when it is needed to come back again for further administration of HA fillers. Certain fillers may stimulate collagen production, extending results for up to a year or longer.
