Fat-Dissolving Injection to Treat Small Fat Deposits
Introduction to the Fat-Dissolving Injection
The fat-dissolving injection, also known as injection lipolysis, is a minimally invasive method for targeted reduction of small fat deposits. It is particularly suitable for patients who have already reached their ideal weight but still suffer from stubborn fat pads that do not respond to diet or exercise. Common treatment areas include the double chin, small fat pads on the abdomen, hips, thighs, as well as male breast enlargement (gynecomastia).
How It Works
During injection lipolysis, a special agent—usually phosphatidylcholine derived from soybeans—is injected directly into the fat deposits. This substance breaks down the fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. Initial results are typically visible after four to six weeks. The treatment takes about 15 to 45 minutes and does not require anesthesia.
