Excess fat under the chin, often called a “double chin,” is a common concern that can be difficult to reduce with diet and exercise alone. Fortunately, advanced treatments like chin fat dissolving injections and minimally invasive procedures are effective solutions.

In Houston, Nuveau Plastic Surgery provides alternative deoxycholic acid treatments that work just like Kybella to dissolve stubborn chin fat, along with other state-of-the-art options to help you achieve a more defined jawline.

What Are Chin Fat Dissolving Injections?

Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, it destroys fat cells, which the body then metabolizes naturally over time.

How It Works:

• Deoxycholic acid injections target submental fat, breaking down fat cells permanently.
• Once treated, the fat cells cannot regenerate, resulting in long-term improvements.

Benefits of Deoxycholic Acid Injections

Deoxycholic acid offers an effective, non-surgical alternative for reducing chin fat. Its benefits include:

• Minimal Downtime: Treatments are quick and require little to no recovery time.
• Long-Lasting Results: Once fat cells are destroyed, they are gone for good.
• Gradual Improvements: Results develop over a few weeks, offering subtle, natural-looking changes.

This treatment is ideal for individuals with mild to moderate submental fat who prefer a non-invasive option.

Other Chin Fat Reduction Options

In addition to deoxycholic acid injections, Nuveau Plastic Surgery provides advanced treatments to address submental fat and enhance skin tightness for a more comprehensive result.

FaceTite

FaceTite uses radiofrequency-assisted lipolysis (RFAL) to melt fat while tightening the skin. This dual-action approach makes it an excellent choice for patients with both excess fat and mild skin laxity.

• Why Choose FaceTite?
  • Delivers noticeable contouring of the chin and neck.
  • Tightens loose skin for a more youthful appearance.
  • Minimal recovery compared to surgical alternatives.

CoolSculpting®

CoolSculpting® uses cryolipolysis (fat-freezing technology) to reduce stubborn fat deposits under the chin.

• Why Choose CoolSculpting®?
  • Non-invasive with no needles or incisions.
  • Gradual results over 6–12 weeks as fat cells are naturally eliminated.
  • Ideal for those with mild submental fat and good skin elasticity.

Profound RF

Profound RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to reduce fat and stimulate collagen production. It’s perfect for patients looking to improve skin texture while addressing stubborn fat.

• Why Choose Profound RF?
  • Addresses both skin tightening and fat reduction.
  • Long-lasting results with minimal downtime.

What to Expect During Treatment

Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from deoxycholic acid injections and similar treatments:

1. Consultation: Our specialists at Nuveau will assess your chin and neck area to recommend the most suitable treatment plan.
2. Treatment:
   • Deoxycholic acid injections take about 15–20 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
   • Other procedures like FaceTite or CoolSculpting® may take longer but require fewer sessions.
3. Recovery:
   • Swelling or redness may occur for a few days after injections or minimally invasive procedures.
   • Results develop gradually as fat cells are metabolized by the body.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

Chin fat dissolving treatments are ideal for individuals who:

• Have mild to moderate submental fat resistant to diet and exercise.
• Want to avoid invasive surgery or lengthy recovery periods.
• Prefer gradual, natural-looking results.

Our specialists at Nuveau will evaluate your anatomy and goals to determine the best treatment approach.

Why Consider Modern Chin Fat Treatments?

Advanced options like deoxycholic acid injections, FaceTite, and CoolSculpting® provide effective alternatives to traditional surgery. Compared to older methods, they offer:

• Less Downtime: Minimal recovery periods allow you to get back to your routine quickly.
• More Natural Results: Gradual improvements ensure a subtle transformation.
• Long-Term Benefits: Destroyed fat cells are permanently eliminated, reducing the chance of future fat accumulation in the treated area.
