Fat Dissolving Injection – Everything You Need To Know

Fat Dissolving Injections are also known by the terms non-surgical chin lift and contouring. They are a non-invasive treatment, as opposed to the surgical procedure of liposuction, that reduces small fat deposits. Official terms to refer to this treatment could also be injection lipolysis, with the trademark Lip dissolve. The first injection to be approved by the FDA in 2015 is called Kybella (sometimes Belkyra) which consists of deoxycholic acid, a compound that dissolves the fat and is naturally produced by the body. The popularity of these fat dissolving injections has increased over the years in a lot of countries.   This treatment, contrary to what people may think, is not only for the face area, but can also be administered to other body parts such as the knees, ankles, hips, thighs, upper arms, and even male breasts.

Safety of the injection

Just like any clinical procedure, fat dissolving injection treatment also has its risks if not administered by an expert. This was due to adverse effects and lack of proof of its safety. However, because of further research and tweaks on its formulation, as well as approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it is popularity and demand has begun to increase over the recent years steeply.

Cost of injections

These treatment costs usually range between $1200-$1800 per session. Although other clinics may charge $300-$800, there are quite a variety of factors that cause the price to vary — the main factor being the quality of the doctor’s work and the quality of the injection. Cheaper does not always equate to better, particularly in the plastic surgery world. It may also depend on the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions, geographic location, and the doctor’s fee. No matter the cost of the treatment, you should always make sure that an expert is doing the procedure with reputable experience and credentials.

Procedure

You may imagine that getting injection lipolysis might give your face a swollen, deformed, and potentially irritated appearance. The good news is that is not the case for this treatment. The treatment does not particularly need anaesthesia, but the doctor can give it to the patient if the patient prefers. Most doctors will numb the area with an ice pack in the area that will be injected to numb it. Then, they will draw a grid pattern on the area of the treatment. This same pattern will be their guide when injecting the treatment. The procedure may be painful, depending on a person’s tolerance to pain.

Results and recovery

One of the upsides about Fat Dissolving Injection is that it does not have any significant downtime for recovery. Although redness, swelling, and pain may be felt in the area where the procedure was done, it is only standard and will heal in a matter of time. It takes around 6 to 8 weeks to see the results, and the effects of the treatment can last for an extensive amount of time, given that the patient does not gain weight.
