Targeted Fat Reduction Without Surgery

Lipolysis injections are a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure used to reduce localized fat deposits that may be resistant to diet and exercise. The treatment involves injecting a substance into targeted fat tissue to break down fat cells, which the body then processes and eliminates naturally over time.

This procedure is most widely known for treating submental fat (double chin), where certain injectable formulations have regulatory approval. In some cases, practitioners may treat other small, localized areas based on clinical assessment and suitability.

NB: Lipolysis injections are not a weight-loss treatment. They are intended for body contouring and localized fat reduction in individuals who are close to their ideal body weight.

How Lipolysis Injections Work

  • A fat-dissolving substance is injected into targeted fatty tissue
  • The substance disrupts the membrane of fat cells
  • Broken-down fat cells are gradually processed by the body
  • Results develop over several weeks, not immediately
  • Once fat cells are destroyed in the treated area, they do not regenerate – although remaining fat cells can still enlarge if overall weight increases.

Common Treatment Areas

  • Submental area (under the chin)
  • Other small, localized fat pockets (based on provider assessment)

Treatment areas are confirmed during a medical consultation.

What to Expect During a Session

  • Treatment performed in a clinical setting
  • Local anesthesia or numbing may be used
  • Multiple small injections in the treatment area
  • Session length typically 30–60 minutes, depending on the area

This is an outpatient procedure, and general anesthesia is not required.

Recovery & Downtime

  • Swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness are common and expected
  • Swelling may last several days to a few weeks, depending on the area
  • Most patients return to normal activities shortly after treatment

Your provider will give you aftercare guidance specific to your treatment.
