Small fat deposits beneath the chin can be particularly stubborn, even in individuals with a slender build. They affect the jawline and neck contour, make the profile appear softer, and are often noticeable particularly in photographs, in the mirror or with certain head positions. The fat-dissolving injection for the double chin is aimed at these localised fat deposits. We check whether it is suitable for you using a fat, skin and tissue analysis.

Yes, a double chin can be treated without surgery under certain conditions. Whether the use of the fat-dissolving injection is possible for a double chin depends on how much fatty tissue is present and how elastic the skin is.
The fat-dissolving injection for a double chin may be suitable if there is a localized fat deposit under the chin that persists despite a stable weight, exercise, or diet. It is important that neither significant skin laxity nor excessive skin overhang is present.
In double chin treatment with the fat-dissolving injection, a combination of active ingredients is precisely injected into the local fat deposit under the chin. There, it can dissolve fat cells, which are then broken down through the body's own processes. The result develops gradually after about two months.
We are working with an active ingredient combination consisting of five coordinated substances. This is evenly distributed in the tissue, can specifically target local fat cells there and support fat breakdown. Additional components can also promote skin regeneration and tissue stability. We decide on the appropriate dosage individually based on the sonographic findings.
The fat-dissolving injection for a double chin is not a weight-loss method. The treatment is suitable for limited fat deposits that make the chin-neck line appear softer. If the double chin is primarily caused by sagging skin, a different treatment might be more appropriate.
How many sessions are needed depends on the size and characteristics of the fat deposit. Several treatments are often scheduled a few weeks apart. You will receive the exact recommendation after a detailed analysis of your chin-neck line.
When a small cushion determines the contour
A fat deposit under the chin can make the line between the face and neck appear softer. As a result, the profile loses its definition, even if you feel generally well.
When there is more fullness under the chin, the neck can appear visually shorter. The lower part of the face then creates a broader and less clearly contoured impression.
Whether on a smartphone, while reading or on a laptop: as soon as the head is tilted downwards, the area under the chin is more clearly emphasised. As a result, a double chin can become even more noticeable.
Small area with a big impact
Many patients are slim, active or live very consciously. Despite this, a pad of fat can persist beneath the chin that can hardly be targeted through diet.
Even with weight loss, it is not possible to control where fat is broken down first. That is why a double chin sometimes remains, even though the body as a whole has changed significantly long ago.
It is not always immediately clear whether fat, declining skin firmness or tissue laxity is altering the profile. That is precisely why your double chin requires a differentiated evaluation.
So that your profile can feel lighter again
The fat-dissolving injection for the double chin is injected directly into the fat pad beneath the chin. The active ingredient can distribute evenly there, dissolve fat cells and provide supportive effects on the tissue structure.
Following the use of the fat-dissolving injection on the double chin, the body breaks down the treated fat cells piece by piece. As a result, the area under the chin can appear more defined after about two months.
A good result is not achieved solely through the reduction of fat cells. Therefore, before every fat-dissolving injection for a double chin, we check whether a supplementary tightening treatment is also relevant.

About us
At Medical Contour, we do not view fat-dissolving injections for a double chin as a one-size-fits-all solution for every change under the chin. This is because a double chin can have various causes: local fat deposits, decreasing skin elasticity, tissue laxity, anatomy, or a combination of several factors. Therefore, our treatment always begins with a differentiated analysis using Ultrasound. We assess whether fat-dissolving injections for the chin are suitable, whether skin tightening is a better option, or whether a combination of contouring and tightening treatments is most appropriate. Our goal is to make your chin and neck line appear more harmonious and lighter. To this end, we transparently explain what the fat-dissolving injection for a double chin can achieve, what its limitations are, and why patience is important: the result develops gradually after about two months, as the body breaks down the treated fat cells.
Procedure
First, we analyse whether fatty tissue, skin laxity or tissue support is the primary concern for you. If a local fat deposit dominates, we can use the fat-dissolving injection on the double chin.
During the treatment, the fat-dissolving injection is injected precisely into the fat deposit on the chin. The injections are carried out using ultrasound examination and are individually tailored to the patient.
The result is not immediately visible. After the fat-dissolving injection on the double chin, the body needs about two months to break down the treated fat cells and gradually change the chin-neck line.
Many people want to improve their double chin without surgery, but do not achieve the desired result through exercise and diet. In this case, you can turn to us with confidence, because for small to moderate fat deposits under the chin, the fat-dissolving injection for the double chin can be a suitable option. It is not aimed at general body weight, but at local fat cells that make the chin-neck line appear softer. Whether removing a double chin without surgery is possible in your case is something we first determine using a sonographic skin and tissue analysis. This shows us whether fat deposits are indeed the primary factor and whether the skin still has sufficient elasticity. If sagging skin or declining tissue is the cause, a pure double-chin removal injection cannot achieve the desired result. In that case, we check whether a skin tightening, Endolift® or whether a combined treatment makes more sense.
The desire for double chin treatment often arises when the area under the chin persists despite a conscious diet and stable weight. The fat-dissolving injection for a double chin can help in this regard to specifically reduce clearly defined fat deposits. For this purpose, the active ingredient is injected into the affected adipose tissue, where it supports the breakdown of treated fat cells via the body's own processes. However, a realistic expectation is important here. After treatment with the fat-dissolving injection for a double chin, the result is not immediately visible. The change develops over several weeks and, depending on the findings, may also require multiple sessions. The double chin fat-dissolving injection is particularly suitable for small, well-defined fat pads. In cases of greater skin laxity or very pronounced findings, another method may be more suitable – for example Sculptra.
A before-and-after comparison is of interest to many patients. Understandably, before the treatment, you want to know how much your profile might change. Images can provide guidance here, but they do not replace a personal analysis using ultrasound. Among other things, we use this to check how the fat is distributed and what needle length is required. The decisive factors are always the individual initial findings, skin elasticity, amount of fat, metabolism and the respective reaction to the treatment. At Medical Contour, we therefore discuss openly with you what is realistically achievable with the fat-dissolving injection for a double chin. If you are planning to remove your double chin by means of a fat-dissolving injection, we will explain to you how the gradual breakdown of fat works and why the result takes time. Potential swelling, the number of sessions and the limitations of the method are also discussed transparently. The aim is a more natural chin-neck line, not an artificially altered profile.
