Submental Fat Dissolving
Achieve a More Defined Jawline with Submental Fat Dissolving
At Obra Aesthetica in Richmond, Victoria, we offer Submental Fat Dissolving treatments designed to reduce the appearance of a double chin and enhance your jawline’s definition. Our non-surgical approach provides a safe, effective way to target and dissolve stubborn submental fat, helping you achieve a slimmer, more contoured profile.
A more pronounced jawline can be achieved by reducing neck fat cells using double chin or fat-dissolving injections. When injected directly into the area of concern, deoxycholic acid and phosphatidylcholine, which are present in the fat-dissolving injections, reduce the number of fat cells. The fat-dissolving injections permanently destroy the fat cells, preventing them from growing back even when weight increases.
What is Submental Fat Dissolving?
Submental Fat Dissolving is a non-surgical treatment that uses injections to break down and eliminate fat cells under the chin. This minimally invasive procedure helps to contour the area and reduce the fullness associated with submental fat, often referred to as a “double chin.”
How Submental Fat Dissolving Works
Our Submental Fat Dissolving treatment involves the use of a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the submental area, this acid effectively destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect after the treatment?
You may experience some swelling, redness, or tenderness under the chin, which usually subsides within a few days. Results will develop gradually as the body processes the eliminated fat cells.

Are the results permanent?
