Chin Fat Reduction Treatments Sydney
Non-Surgical Chin Fat Reduction (non surgical)
Excess fat can accumulate under the chin, which can be a cosmetic concern for some patients. This condition is often caused by genetics and the natural ageing process, but it can also be triggered by weight changes. Unfortunately, this chin fat volume usually does not disappear, regardless of how much you diet or exercise. Weight loss typically has little or no effect onthis area.
Non surgical fat dissolving treatments can help reduce excess chin fat that does not respond to diet and exercise. This chin fat dissolver is a prescription drug made up of a naturally occurring substance formed in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. Its function is to break down fat cells. The Therapeutic Goods of Australia (TGA) has approved this drug.
When administered under the chin, the treatment can permanently destroy fat cells. This treatment uses a synthetic form of the enzyme produced by bile, which disrupts the membranes of fat cells and is then digested by the body. The body perceives this disruption as an injury and creates inflammation, which leads to new collagen formation.
Chin Fat Reduction Treatment
It takes approximately 15-20 minutes to perform. Most patients experience visible results after 2-4 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart. Patients with more fat deposits under the chin may require up to 6 treatments. The precise number of sessions will depend on how much excess fat is present.
What to Expect
Before the treatment, a numbing cream is applied to the chin. A local anaesthetic injection is also used to reduce any discomfort. The treatment area is identified by marking anatomical landmarks and is gridded 1cm apart using a template. To reduce any swelling, ice is applied. Using a fine needle, the practitioner will administer the fat-dissolving substance directly into the fat tissue under the chin. The exact number of application points depends on the amount of fat and the desired outcome.
Recovery after chin injections
Patients will likely experience some swelling under the chin for 4-7 days, and you may or may not require a high-neck top or scarf. Some residual swelling may be present for a few weeks. Some experience temporary redness or bruising that can usually be camouflaged with makeup until the swelling and/or bruising subsides. Occasionally, some numbness, tingling, itchiness, and formation of small areas of firmness should resolve on their own after a few weeks. Under extremely rare circumstances, some patients may experience an uneven smile, trouble swallowing, unusual taste, and hair loss or skin ulcers. This is usually temporary and will resolve in time.
Most patients can return to work and daily routine after the treatment.
The outcomes shown are only relevant for this patient and do not necessarily reflect the results other patients may experience. Results may vary due to many factors, including the individual’s genetics and lifestyle.

These consultations are designed to be thoroughly educational, offering insights into the causes of excess chin fat and discussing surgical and non-surgical treatment options.

The aim is to explore each individual’s concerns, providing detailed information on the area’s anatomy, potential reasons for fat accumulation, and available treatments.
In these consultations, we adopt a holistic approach, considering not only the physical aspects of excess chin fat but also understanding the personal impact it may have on an individual.

Our goal at Form And Face is to ensure that clients leave their consultation feeling informed, supported, and confident in their understanding of how to address their concerns.

Ways to Treat Chin Fat Surgically and Non-Surgically
Treatment for excess chin fat can be approached both surgically and non-surgically, depending on the individual’s preferences, the extent of fat accumulation, and the desired outcomes. Non-surgical options may include treatments like cryolipolysis or injectables specifically targeting fat cells to reduce fat under the chin.
Surgical options, such as liposuction, can help address a broader area of the chin. This procedure involves removing fat cells from under the chin using a small, thin tube attached to a powerful suction machine. The choice between surgical and non-surgical treatments depends on several factors, including the amount of fat to be removed, the individual’s health and medical history, and their preference regarding recovery time and results. During consultations at Form And Face, we provide detailed information on all available treatments, helping patients understand each option’s process, benefits, and considerations.

What Causes Excess Chin Fat
Excess fat under the chin can be caused by various factors such as genetics, weight fluctuations, and ageing. Genetic predisposition can be a significant factor in the buildup of chin fat. Gaining weight and ageing can also contribute to the development of excess fat under the chin as the skin loses its elasticity and becomes unable to retract. Lifestyle choices like diet and exercise also play a role in the prominence of excess chin fat. Environmental factors can also influence the presence of chin fat.
Understanding the root causes of excess chin fat is essential for determining the most suitable treatment approach. At Form And Face, our consultations aim to uncover these factors and provide an educational perspective on why excess chin fat occurs and how to address it. By gaining an in-depth understanding of what causes this condition, we can develop a more targeted treatment plan that is tailored to each individual’s specific situation and goals. This approach enables us to evaluate the most suitable options for addressing the patient’s concerns.
