No matter how aggressively you work out, there is always one area of your body where you can hardly lose weight - your double chin. In fact, a double chin is not unique to the obese, even a slim body could have such a feature. The double chin is especially noticeable for “phubbers” who focus on their smartphones for too long. What is the best way to say farewell to a double chin?

Why do I have a double chin?

The appearance of a double chin is no doubt a nightmare to people who want to look good. The formation of this difficult fat is not only influenced by a round face, a short chin or genetic factor, but also by the skin and muscle relaxation due to ageing and localised fat accumulation due to weight gain. The double chin is also a result of the prolonged use of mobile phones, which has led to a double chin. A "chubby" chin blurs its contour, making it easy to look obese and aged, which affects the appearance and image of the person.

What are the ways to chuck double chin out?

Although exercise and a healthy diet can help to improve and burn fat, it is not easy to target a double chin. In addition to the use of aesthetic devices such as lifting, liposuction, high-energy radiofrequency and high-energy ultrasound, there is also subcutaneous injection lipolysis for your preference. There is only one FDA-approved injection lipolysis, Kybella, which contains the synthetic active ingredient deoxycholic acid, a natural secretion in the body. Injection lipolysis absorbs fat-producing molecules, helps break down fat cell membranes, facilitates the body's degradation and absorption of stubborn fat layers, accelerates fat metabolism and eliminates localised fat, and tightens the skin through inflammation when it occurs.

Procedures of the fat-killing injection

The procedure takes about 15 minutes and the doctor will first mark dozens of injection points in the area to help treat the fat cells in the area. If necessary, a local anaesthetic will be used before the injection to relieve discomfort. Depending on the individual's condition, the doctor will recommend the dosage and frequency of treatment, which will not exceed 11ml per session, and will normally recommend 2 to 4 sessions. After each session, there will be a little swelling at the injection site which will take time to subside and the results will be optimal after about 6 weeks.

Important notes for injection lipolysis

However, users require to understand the source, safety and efficacy of the product before undergoing the injections to ensure safety. If you have a large amount of fat beneath your chin or jaw, you will need to consult your doctor first to assess if you are suitable for injections. It is also contraindicated for users with skin infections, pregnant women, those with swallowing difficulties, those taking anticoagulants, or those with keloid. After receiving a Kybella injection, you can expect swelling, redness, bruising, pain, temporary numbness or tissue hardness around the injection site, which will usually go away after one or two weeks. Serious side effects include temporary difficulty in swallowing, nerve injury in the jaw and facial muscle weakness. The injection treatment carries certain risks and is not the same for everyone, so treatment can only be administered by a registered medical practitioner.
