Are Fat Dissolving Injections Right for Me?
Everything You Need to Know Before Booking in Chiswick
Stubborn pockets of fat — like under the chin, around the stomach, or on the thighs — can be frustrating, especially when they don’t respond to diet and exercise. If you’ve been searching for a non-surgical way to target these areas, fat dissolving injections might be the solution.
At our Chiswick aesthetic clinic, fat dissolving treatments are becoming increasingly popular — but they’re not for everyone. So, how do you know if they’re right for you?
In this post, we’ll explain how fat dissolving injections work, what areas they treat, and the key factors to consider before booking your consultation.
What Are Fat Dissolving Injections?
Fat dissolving injections are non-surgical cosmetic treatments designed to break down and eliminate stubborn fat cells in targeted areas. The most well-known brands use deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down dietary fat.
Once injected, the fat cells are destroyed and then naturally removed by the body’s lymphatic system over several weeks.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Fat dissolving injections are ideal for small, localised areas of stubborn fat, such as:
Double chin
Jowls
Bra bulge (underarm fat)
Abdomen (belly fat)
Love handles
Inner thighs
Upper arms
They’re not a weight loss solution — but they contour and refine areas that resist normal fat reduction methods.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
✅ You may be a good candidate for fat dissolving injections if:
You’re close to your ideal weight but have stubborn fat pockets
You live a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and balanced nutrition
You’re looking for a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution
You have good skin elasticity (to avoid sagging after fat is reduced)
You understand the treatment takes multiple sessions for best results
❌ You may not be suitable if:
You’re pregnant or breastfeeding
You have certain medical conditions (we’ll assess this during consultation)
You’re significantly overweight or looking for large-scale fat loss
You’re expecting instant results after one treatment
What to Expect from Treatment
Treatment time: 20–40 minutes
Anaesthetic: Usually a numbing cream is applied
Downtime: Mild swelling, redness, or bruising can occur (especially in the chin area); usually settles in 3–7 days
Results: Gradual improvement over 4–6 weeks
Sessions needed: Typically 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
Are the Results Permanent?
Yes — once the fat cells are destroyed and flushed from your system, they don’t return. However, a healthy lifestyle is key. Gaining weight after treatment can cause remaining fat cells in the area to expand.
