THE RESULTS
While many patients may observe visible results around 4-6 weeks after their second treatment, individual responses can vary. You will be encouraged to book a review appointment so your clinician can take photos and monitor your progress.
The number of treatments required to achieve good results will depends on how much submental fullness the patient has. But many patients have experienced visible improvements within 2 to 4 treatments. Some patients may require up to 6 treatments, depending on individual circumstances, to achieve their desired results*. Consecutive treatments can be done every 4-6 weeks, and this will ensure superior results. Results can be long-term; however, the duration will vary among individuals, and some may need further treatment sooner.
*Results may vary from patient to patient.
**All photos are of patients from Cosmos Aesthetics, and all ‘after’ images are taken 6 weeks post operation.
THE TREATMENT
Like Volume Enhancement Treatments, Fat Dissolving Injection procedures take approximately 20-30 minutes and patients have up to 50 small injections during one treatment session. A template is applied to the target area to ensure even distribution, whilst avoiding anatomical landmarks A series of small injections are administered. When injected correctly, all the healthy cells around the submental fat, remain intact and unaffected, as well as nearby nerves and muscles. With proper care and precision, the chin and neck area can be effectively treated – resulting in a slimmer chin profile.
Most patients experience mild to moderate pain to the area being treated. However, to reduce discomfort, the cosmetic injector will numb the area pre-treatment.
Fat Dissolving prices vary depending on the area being treated and expected result.
Fat Dissolving Injections are suitable for both men and women over the age of 18. Ideal candidates will have to have excess fat under their chin, which could either be from weight gain or genetics. It is another non surgical option for those who want to reduce their double chin but are not suitable candidates for Cool Sculpting treatments (Cool Sculpting applicators are a fixed size which may not fit everyone) or for those who do not want to undergo surgical procedures such as liposuction, full facelift or other invasive surgery.
Fat dissolving injections can be used by everyone and customised to the patients fat distribution particularly around the neck area, whereas alternative treatments such as CoolSculpting can only be used on some people if their neck fits the applicator. This means it can be a good non-surgical solution to target small pockets of fat on the face, the banana roll under the buttock, armpit fat and above the knees.
Fat dissolving injections cause fat cell breakdown, meaning the can no longer store or accumulate fat 1

POST TREATMENT
Please note that the most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and areas of hardness around the treatment area. All of which will have to be resolved before subsequent treatments.
Submental fullness can also be treated with:
The various options can be discussed in your consultation to determine the best treatment option for you.
Submental fullness refers to the excess fat under your chin area. Submental fullness can be caused by:
Patients with Submental Fullness (a double chin) may feel like they look older and heavier than they actually are. In a recent survey, 60% of Australian women said they are concerned about a double chin.
Cosmos uses the latest fat-busting injectable drug. Developed by the pharmaceutical company Allergan, the treatment provides:
The treatment is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid; which is a naturally occurring molecule produced in the body to aid in the absorption of fat. When it is injected into the tissue below the chin, it disrupts the fat cell membrane. As a result, the cells breakdown and release their fatty contents. The body then naturally metabolises and excretes this fat. This breakthrough non-invasive double chin treatment provides another option to the growing number of patients wanting to address this stubborn area. These double chin injections provide patients with treatment options beyond invasive procedures.
The Fat Dissolving Injections procedure takes approximately 20-30 minutes and patients can have up to 50 small injections during one treatment session
Most patients experience mild to moderate pain to the area being treated. To reduce discomfort the area maybe numbed and cooled pre-treatment.

A series of small injections are administered. When injected correctly, all the healthy cells around the submental fat, remain intact and unaffected as well as nearby nerves and muscles.
The number of treatments required varies based on individual cases of submental fullness, and some patients may see visible improvements within 2 to 4 treatments. Patients can have up to 6 treatments of fat dissolving injections administered to achieve the desired result.
Consecutive treatments can be done every 4-6 weeks.
Results are long-lasting and most patients will not undergo further treatment for at least 4 years
In most cases visible results are seen at around 4-6 weeks after your second treatment, and with each subsequent treatment further improvement is seen. You will be encouraged to book a review appointment so your clinician can take photos and monitor your progress.
