Fat Dissolving Face Treatment

Fat dissolving face treatment uses a precisely injected solution to break down and permanently eliminate small, stubborn pockets of fat on the face. It targets areas such as the jowls and lower face where excess fat can soften facial contours and reduce definition, working with the body’s own processes to clear the fat naturally through the lymphatic system.

The result is a more defined, contoured facial profile that develops progressively across the treatment course, without surgery or general anaesthetic.

Treatment areas: Jowls, lower face and chin area

What to Expect

Your treatment begins with a consultation where your doctor will assess the areas of concern on the face, discuss your goals and confirm suitability. Fat dissolving face treatment is suitable for most adults, with the exception of those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It is best suited to targeting localised, stubborn pockets of fat on the face rather than as a general treatment for overall facial fat reduction.

On the day, a topical numbing agent is applied before treatment begins. Fine needles are used to inject the dissolving solution into the targeted areas. The session takes 15 to 30 minutes. Significant swelling in the treated area is normal and expected following treatment as it indicates the inflammatory process is working. Plan for 3 to 5 days of downtime and avoid social commitments during this period. Improvements are visible after the first session, with the most noticeable results appearing at the end of the full treatment course. A complimentary review is offered six weeks after the final session.

Benefits of Fat Dissolving Face Treatment

Fat dissolving face treatment contains a combination of active ingredients that work together to safely break down and remodel facial fat. Deoxycholic acid breaks down the fat cell membrane, while supporting ingredients help manage swelling, support tissue healing and protect the skin from oxidative damage during the process. The result is a more contoured, defined face that develops naturally as the body clears the dissolved fat through the lymphatic system.

Because the process works gradually, results look natural rather than sudden. Most patients notice a meaningful improvement in facial definition across the course of treatment, particularly around the jawline and lower face. Treated fat cells are permanently eliminated, but maintaining a stable body weight is important to preserve the long-term outcome. A complimentary review is scheduled six weeks after the final session, and maintenance applications are available for those wishing to sustain a specific appearance.

Post-Treatment Care & Side Effects

Fat dissolving treatments require more aftercare than standard injectable treatments due to the inflammatory nature of the process. Your doctor will go through all instructions in detail before you leave.

  • Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen and anti-inflammatory medication for two days after treatment and one week before
  • Avoid swimming pools, extreme temperatures, spas and saunas for three days
  • Avoid vigorous physical exercise for ten days, walking is fine
  • Avoid laser, cryolipolysis or radiofrequency treatments for 14 days
  • Do not apply makeup or skincare to the treated area for 12 hours after treatment
    After 12 hours, use only a clean brush, sponge or glove for product application until day five

Important: Pain and discharge from the injection sites are not normal. If you experience either of these, contact the clinic immediately for advice.

Fat dissolving face treatment has a higher level of expected side effects than most injectable treatments. These are a normal and expected part of the process.
Common temporary side effects include:

  • Significant swelling in and around the treated area
  • Bruising and soreness at the injection sites
  • Sensitivity to pressure and warmth in the treated area           
  • Tight or itchy skin during recovery

These effects typically resolve within 3 to 5 days. All further treatment must wait until side effects have fully resolved. All potential side effects will be discussed in full during your consultation .

Fat Dissolving Face Results Timeline

  • Immediately after treatment: Redness, swelling and tenderness in the treated area are normal and expected. The swelling indicates the treatment is working.
  • Days 1 to 5: Swelling, bruising and sensitivity peak and then begin to resolve. Plan for downtime during this period and avoid social commitments.
  • Weeks 2 to 4: Swelling fully resolves. Initial improvement in facial contour and definition becomes visible as the body begins to clear the dissolved fat.
  • After subsequent sessions: Results continue to build progressively as further fat cells are broken down and eliminated. Facial definition improves with each session.
  • 6 weeks after final session: A complimentary review appointment is scheduled to assess the full result and confirm whether any further treatment is beneficial.
  • Long term: Treated fat cells are permanently destroyed and do not return. Maintaining a stable body weight helps preserve the outcome over the long term.

Fat-dissolving face treatment suits patients who feel their facial contours have been dulled by stubborn, localised fat that does not shift despite their lifestyle. The gradual, natural-looking improvement in definition is consistently one of the most valued aspects of the result.

Fat Dissolving Face FAQs

Fat-dissolving face treatment involves injecting a compound into targeted areas of the face to break down and reduce fat cells. This treatment enhances facial contours and reduces excess fat in areas such as under the chin and along the jawline.
Each session typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated and the specific needs of the patient.
Patients may experience a brief stinging sensation when the injections are administered. To minimise discomfort, a topical numbing cream can be applied before the treatment.
You will see initial results soon after the first treatment. More significant results will become apparent after completing all recommended sessions.
This treatment is ideal for individuals who are close to their ideal weight but struggle with localised fat deposits on their face that do not respond to diet or exercise. It is not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
