Double chin lipolysis is a type of mesotherapy method that involves the injection of fat-burning medications into the chin area to melt fat and tighten the skin underneath. In addition to the chin area, it can also be applied to reduce localized fat accumulation around the belly, upper arms, thighs, and to shrink fat deposits. It is recommended for individuals with normal or slightly excess weight to target fatty areas.
Enzymatic lipolysis is the process of injecting fat-breaking medications into the subcutaneous fat layer, which helps break down the fat in the treated area. The most commonly used ingredients are phosphatidylcholine, deoxycholic acid, carnitine, and caffeine. Phosphatidylcholine dissolves the fat accumulated in fat cells and helps eliminate them. Deoxycholic acid is effective in reducing localized fat. L-carnitine helps transport fat from the accumulated area and stimulates metabolism to burn it.
Double chin lipolysis is applied by injecting a special mesotherapy mixture containing fat-burning medications with fine needles to a depth of about 1cm. It is typically performed in 1-2 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. The number of sessions required will increase depending on the extent of fat accumulation.
Before the procedure, the area to be injected is numbed with a cream containing anesthetic medication, so the needle insertions are not felt. During the injection, a slight burning sensation may be experienced due to the medication.
After the procedure, mild burning, swelling, itching, or redness may occur in the treated area. These symptoms usually disappear within 24-48 hours. After the procedure, a chin massage should be performed once a day for two weeks. This helps the swelling in the treated area disperse easily. The skin tightens and adjusts to its new, higher position. In case of mild pain, simple painkillers can be used. If bruising and swelling occur, they generally resolve on their own within a week.
Double chin lipolysis should not be applied in cases of certain serious conditions such as autoimmune diseases, Behçet’s disease, connective tissue disorders, and immunodeficiency. If you have any medical conditions, be sure to inform your doctor during the treatment planning.
Enzymatic lipolysis breaks down the fat cells and fat vesicles in the injected area, allowing the fat to be eliminated from the body. However, it does not completely eliminate the number of fat cells in the area. In the case of significant weight gain, regional fat accumulation may start again. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain the current weight after the procedure.
