Fullness under the chin is very common. Some individuals may be able to reduce signs of fullness under the chin with an treatment.
The treatment our plastic surgeon uses to address this concern is an artificial version of Deoxycholic Acid, a material the body produces naturally to help absorb fats.
It is an medication that breaks down fat cells under the chin, which should then be absorbed and excreted by the body.
The non-surgical treatment typically takes between 30 and 40 minutes to complete. Before treatment, a numbing agent is applied, and during the treatment an ice pack will also be provided to assist with the discomfort associated with the procedure.
You will notice bruising, tenderness and swelling after the treatment, so it’s advised to rest afterwards, with the swelling taking up to 48 hours to go down.
The course of treatments usually involves two to three recommended sessions to achieve the best results.
These treatments will take place a month apart, with up to six weeks for effects to become noticeable, with results varying from patient to patient.
Due to advertising guidelines and regulations, we are unable to name the treatment online on our website. For information regarding the procedure, please contact our clinic for further information.
