Who May Be a Good Candidate?
A consultation is the best way to determine whether this treatment is appropriate. In general, it may be considered for patients who:
- Have a localized pocket of fat beneath the chin
- Are near a stable weight
- Have realistic expectations about swelling and gradual results
- Prefer a nonsurgical approach
What to Expect
A series of small injections is placed in the targeted area. Swelling is expected and can be significant for several days. Multiple sessions may be recommended. These injections are not a substitute for weight loss and are not appropriate for every neck or jawline concern.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the fat permanently removed?

How much swelling should I expect?
Swelling is common and may be noticeable, especially after early sessions.
How many treatments are needed?
