Treating a double chin with the fat-dissolving injection in Wolfsburg
A double chin (submental fat) is often stubborn – even at a normal body weight. In Wolfsburg, physician Rafee El Kaddour treats small, clearly defined fat deposits under the chin with the fat-dissolving injection (injection lipolysis) and advises you honestly beforehand whether the method suits you.
How does the fat-dissolving injection work on a double chin?
An active solution is injected into the fat beneath the chin to dissolve the fat cells in this small area. The body then breaks the material down over weeks. Marked swelling afterwards is normal and part of how it works.
The double chin is the best-suited zone for the fat-dissolving injection because the fat deposit is clearly defined and easy to reach. A normal body weight is a prerequisite – the method is not a weight-loss tool and does not replace liposuction.
Usually two to four sessions a few weeks apart are needed. The result builds up step by step; each session is followed by a phase of swelling and pressure.
An important distinction: if the issue is loose skin rather than a fat deposit, the injection is not the right approach. We assess this honestly in the free consultation.
How the treatment works
- 01Free consultation and honest suitability check (fat vs. skin laxity)
- 02Marking of the area beneath the chin
- 03Several fine injections into the fat deposit
- 04Duration: about 15–20 minutes per session
Results & longevity
After treatment, marked swelling under the chin is normal and can last a few days. First changes appear after a few weeks, and the result builds over several sessions. Results vary individually and are not comparable to liposuction.
Results are individual and may vary. Before/after images show real treatments and are published only with the patient’s explicit consent.
