There are 3 main factors that contribute to the double chin appearance.
Fat dissolving injection will only address the fat bulge under the chin. You will need other treatments to strengthen your muscle tone and tighten your skin.
The treatment works by administering a clinically proven fat dissolving formulation into stubborn fatty areas like the double chin. This active ingredient is a naturally occurring substance in our body that metabolises fat in the food we eat.
When injected by a trained medical professional, this substance can selectively break down the fat cells responsible for the double chin.
It is vital to have a consultation with a trained cosmetic doctor who has years of experience to determine if you are suitable for this fat dissolving injection treatment. In addition, it is important to discuss safety, your expectations and your medical history.
There are certain criteria that they should meet before you can be treated. The following are some of the criteria to consider:
This procedure should be performed by a medical doctor to ensure safety and a great outcome. The medication is a TGA approved prescription product indicated to reduce moderate to severe fat under the chin.
During your procedure, Dr Teh will accurately mark the targeted area. Your skin will be numb. A series of micro-injections using the smallest needle available will deliver the fat dissolving substance into the fat cells.
Treatment time is usually less than 30 minutes. Dr Teh will take the required time to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
At Dermedica, we are very mindful of making our client as comfortable as possible. Dr Teh uses various techniques available to make your treatment a pleasant one such as using a strong numbing cream. Some people describe this treatment like little ant bites.
Although some people from other clinics or on the internet have reported pain during the procedure, Dr Teh is very careful in managing your discomfort level during and after treatment.
Once the fat cells are metabolised, it is likely the results will be permanent, as long as your weight is stable.
If you happen to gain weight, like other fat reduction treatment and liposuction options, the profile of your chin and body will change due to the fact that you are carrying the extra kilos.
The most common potential side effects are redness, swelling, bruising, varying degree of numbness and areas of hardness around the treatment area. These side effects often subside in a few days post-treatment.
In rarre cases, there may be other more serious side effects that patients may encounter such as nerve injury, asymmetrical smile and difficulty swallowing. All medical procedures carry risks. Hence it is important to have a thorough assessment with a trained, experienced and cautious cosmetic doctor to discuss your concerns and needs.
Many patients may notice a subtle visible improvement after three weeks. More noticeable results are seen after 4-6 weeks. Some patients may need more than one treatment for more dramatic results.
Most patients may experience some degree of swelling and mild bruising under the chin. This effect may last up to five days. Dr Teh will monitor your recovery period very closely.
Depending on the severity of the double chin and your expectations, you may need between 1-3 treatments. Dr Teh has treated patients who are happy after one treatment and some patients that require up to three treatments for a more dramatic change. The advantage of choosing Dr Teh for your double chin treatment is that we will discuss other options or combination of treatments to minimise the number of fat dissolving treatments you require.
Some reviews indicate that the treatments is painful. At Dermedica, Dr Teh with years of experience will make sure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.
