Double Chin Reduction - Deoxycholic Acid Injections

A Non-Surgical Solution to Define the Contours of the Face At Yalisse Clinic, we offer deoxycholic acid injections, a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce excess fat under the chin (double chin). This technique permanently eliminates targeted fat cells, resulting in a more defined and harmonious facial contour.

How Does Deoxycholic Acid Work?

Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that plays a role in breaking down and absorbing dietary fats. When injected under the skin, it destroys fat cells permanently, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.

Benefits of the Treatment :

• - Slims and contours the lower face by reducing the double chin.
• - Progressive and natural-looking results visible after a few weeks.
• - Non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
• - Quick sessions, typically lasting between 15 and 30 minutes.
• - Long-lasting results since eliminated fat cells do not regenerate.

Treatment Process :

1. 1. Initial Consultation: Personalized assessment to determine the suitability of the treatment. Planning the required number of sessions.
2. 2. Injection Process: Targeted administration of deoxycholic acid into the submental area. Mild tingling sensation may be felt during the injection.
3. 3. Post-Treatment and Recovery: Temporary swelling may occur. Specific recommendations provided to optimize recovery.

Number of Sessions Required :

The number of sessions varies based on the amount of fat and the patient’s aesthetic goals. On average, three to four sessions spaced over several weeks are recommended for optimal results.

Possible Side Effects :

As with any aesthetic procedure, temporary side effects may occur, including:

• - Swelling that can last from a few days to four weeks.
• - Redness, localized sensitivity, and a slight warming sensation.
• - Temporary numbness in the treated area.
• - Minor bruising or small nodules that resolve naturally.
• - In rare cases, temporary asymmetry of the smile or nerve irritation.

Any unusual reactions should be reported to Yalisse Clinic immediately.

Contraindications :

This treatment is not recommended for individuals who:

• - Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• - Have autoimmune or inflammatory skin conditions.
• - Have an active infection or an open wound in the treatment area.
• - Have a known allergy to deoxycholic acid or its components.
• - Have bleeding disorders or are on anticoagulant therapy.

Post-Treatment Recommendations :

To ensure optimal recovery and maximize results, patients are advised to:

• - Apply cold compresses to reduce inflammation.
• - Avoid pressing or massaging the treated area for a few days.
• - Sleep with the head slightly elevated to minimize swelling.
• - Refrain from intense physical activity for 48 hours.
• - Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for 24 hours post-injection.
