Fat dissolving injections in Berkshire, London and Surrey.
Fat Dissolving Injections For The Face And Chin
Target stubborn fat. Refine your jawline. Non-surgical precision.
At Apex Skin Clinic Berkshire, we offer fat dissolving injections that reduce small, localised fat deposits to refine and contour the lower face. This treatment helps smooth the jawline, reduce a double chin, and create subtle definition, all without surgery.
Led by Consultant Plastic Surgeon Mr Dominic Yue, every treatment is tailored for safe, natural-looking results. We welcome patients from Maidenhead, Reading, Windsor, London, and Surrey who seek professional, consultant-led care for facial contouring.
Common Treatment Areas
-
Under Chin / Double Chin
Reduces under-chin fat and improves the definition of the jawline. Creates a sharper, more sculpted facial angle without surgery.
-
Jowls / Lower Cheek Fat
Softens heaviness around the lower face and blends the jawline. Particularly effective when combined with skin tightening or dermal filler treatments.
-
Jawline Contouring
Enhances facial definition by refining the lower jaw and removing subtle pockets of fat. Fat dissolving injections for the chin and jawline can also complement other procedures for balanced, natural results.
-
Fat dissolving injections (also called fat reduction injections or non-surgical contouring treatments) are designed to target stubborn fat deposits that do not respond to diet or exercise.
During treatment, a specially formulated injectable solution is placed directly into the fatty tissue. It works by breaking down the fat cell membrane, allowing the body to naturally eliminate the released fat through normal metabolic processes. Once destroyed, these cells do not return.
Patients often ask, do fat dissolving injections work? Yes, when performed correctly and in the right candidate, the results can be long-lasting and highly effective for localised areas such as the chin, jowls, or lower cheeks.
-
Patients choose Apex Skin Clinic Berkshire for these treatments because they:
Reduce stubborn fat beneath the chin or around the jawline
Define facial angles and create a more sculpted appearance
Improve symmetry and contour in the lower face
Deliver long-lasting results without surgery
Have minimal downtime and a short recovery period
Chin fat dissolving injections are particularly popular for those concerned about submental fullness (under-chin fat) or a soft jawline.

1. In-Depth Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation led by Mr Dominic Yue. He will assess your facial structure, fat distribution, and skin elasticity to determine whether fat dissolving injections are appropriate for you.
Honest guidance is central to our approach — if another treatment, such as skin tightening or surgery, is more suitable, we will always explain this.
2. Treatment Session
The procedure takes 30–45 minutes.
A fine needle delivers the solution into the targeted fat pad.
Topical anaesthetic may be applied to minimise discomfort.
The injected product breaks down fat cells gradually over the following weeks.
You may feel a mild warmth or tingling sensation as the product begins to work.
3. Aftercare & Results
Swelling and tenderness are normal for three to seven days, particularly under the chin.
You may notice gradual improvements within four to six weeks, as the body metabolises the broken-down fat.
Most patients require two to three sessions, spaced about a month apart, for optimal results.
The treated fat cells are permanently removed, though maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve long-term results.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
This treatment may be suitable for you if you:
Have small, localised fat deposits beneath the chin or around the jawline
Are not overweight but feel your facial definition could be improved
Prefer a non-surgical solution to facial contouring
Have good skin tone and elasticity to support retraction after fat reduction
Fat dissolving injections are not designed for weight loss or large-volume fat removal. Instead, they target specific areas to refine the overall contour of the face.
