Stubborn Fat Dissolving Injections
Target and permanently eliminate stubborn pockets of localized fat without surgery. Our medically administered fat dissolving injections contour the jawline, chin, and body areas safely and effectively.
Eliminate Stubborn Fat with Targeted Precision
Even with a healthy diet and a regular fitness routine, many people struggle with stubborn pockets of fat in specific areas—most commonly under the chin (double chin), around the jawline (jowls), or on the hips (love handles) and abdomen. These localized fat deposits are often genetically determined and resistant to traditional weight loss methods.
Fat dissolving injections offer a safe, non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Using deoxycholic acid—a synthetic version of a naturally occurring bile acid that breaks down dietary fat—we target these specific pockets. The injection breaks down the walls of the fat cells, causing them to liquefy. Your body's lymphatic system then naturally processes and permanently flushes them out.
Strict Medical Environment & Expertise
Fat dissolving injections require deep, precise administration into the subcutaneous fat layer. At Kingshurst Dental Surgery, your treatment is delivered by highly qualified medical injectors in a sterile clinical environment, ensuring maximum safety, accurate dosing, and professional care.
Targeted Contouring
Perfect for sculpting small, localized pockets like a double chin, jowls, or stubborn stomach fat.
Cell Elimination
Once the fat cells are destroyed by the active acid, those cells are flushed and cannot store fat again.
Minimal Downtime
Avoid the risks, incisions, scars, and lengthy recovery times associated with surgical liposuction.

The Treatment Process
Receiving your fat dissolving injections is a straightforward, clinical process completed in four simple stages.
1. Consultation
We evaluate your target area, check skin elasticity, and verify that fat dissolving is the right solution for your body contouring goals.
2. Prep & Mapping
We clean the area, map out the precise injection grid, and apply local numbing cream or mix the product with local anaesthetic for maximum comfort.
3. Target Injection
Using a micro-needle, our clinician delivers a series of small, precise injections directly into the subcutaneous fat layer of the targeted area.
4. Natural Elimination
Over the next 4 to 6 weeks, your body naturally breaks down, metabolizes, and flushes out the destroyed fat cells through the lymphatic system.
Post-Treatment Care & Results Timeline
Post-Treatment Care Instructions
-
Expect Swelling & Redness: Swelling is extremely common (especially in the chin) and is a sign that the product is actively working.
-
Avoid Anti-Inflammatories: Do not take Ibuprofen or apply ice, as the inflammatory response is necessary for the fat breakdown. Use Paracetamol if needed.
-
Drink Plenty of Water: Drink at least 2 litres of water daily to support your lymphatic system as it metabolizes and flushes out the destroyed fat.
-
Avoid Heavy Workouts: Do not perform vigorous exercise or visit steam rooms/saunas for 48 hours to minimize excess swelling and bruising.
What to Expect After Treatment
-
Days 1–5: Peak swelling occurs (often referred to as a "bullfrog" effect on the chin). Bruising, tenderness, and numbness are normal.
-
Week 2: Swelling and bruising completely resolve, and the treated fat begins to break down internally.
-
Weeks 4–6: Initial contour improvements and skin tightening become visible. Time to assess if a follow-up session is needed.
Treatment Schedule Guidelines
- Initial Course: Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart depending on the size of the fat deposit.
- Permanence: Once desired contour is achieved, the results are permanent as long as a stable weight is maintained.
