How to get rid of a double chin with injections

Short answer

To get rid of a double chin with injections, a qualified clinician first confirms that localised under-chin fat is suitable for treatment.

This answers one question. It is not a diagnosis and does not replace an assessment by a licensed doctor.

How the treatment works

Fat-dissolving injections are placed into selected areas beneath the chin. The product is intended to disrupt fat cells, after which the body gradually clears the treated material. The result depends on the amount and position of fat, skin elasticity and the shape of the chin and jaw. Injections do not directly remove loose skin or change a recessed chin.

Preparing and recovering

During consultation, disclose allergies, medical conditions, medicines, previous procedures and any swallowing or nerve symptoms. The clinician marks the treatment area and explains expected swelling, bruising, tenderness or numbness. Keep the area clean and follow the aftercare instructions; do not massage or apply products unless advised. [Fat Dissolving Injections](/treatments/injectables/fat-dissolving-injection/) provide more detail. [Cryolipolysis](/treatments/laser-and-energy/cryolipolysis/) may be discussed when a non-injection approach is preferred.

When to seek care

Contact the treating clinic for swelling or pain that is severe, worsening or uneven. Get urgent help for trouble breathing or swallowing, spreading redness with fever, or new facial weakness. Numbness or firmness can occur during healing, but persistent or progressive changes deserve review rather than another treatment session.

Questions for your doctor

Is my fullness caused mainly by fat? Where will the injections be placed? How will you protect nearby nerves? What aftercare and warning signs should I follow?

Questions people ask

Do injections tighten the neck?

Can I inject the area at home?
