Non-Surgical Fat Dissolving Injections
Deoxycholic acid is utilized in fat dissolving injections to safely break down fat, allowing it to be eliminated from the body through natural waste processes. Unlike liposuction, this non-surgical and minimally invasive procedure appeals to patients seeking a nonsurgical approach for fat reduction. It has gained popularity due to its non invasive nature.
The injection is commonly administered to treat areas such as the double chin, inner thighs, upper arms, and abdomen. The entire procedure typically takes around 30 minutes.
Ideal candidates for non-surgical fat reduction or fat dissolving injections:
- Prefer to avoid invasive surgical procedures.
- Have been unable to achieve desired results through diet and exercise alone.
- Seek a non-surgical solution to target specific areas of stubborn fat.
Possible complications associated with fat-busting injections can include:
- Infection: Although rare, there is a risk of infection at the injection site. Following proper aftercare instructions and maintaining good hygiene can help minimize this risk.
- Swelling: Some degree of swelling is expected after the procedure, but it should subside within a few days. Applying cold compresses and following post-procedure guidelines can help manage swelling.
- Disfigurement: In rare cases, uneven fat removal or contour irregularities may occur, resulting in temporary or permanent disfigurement.
- Bruising: Bruising may occur at the injection site. It usually resolves within a week or two, but can vary depending on individual factors and the specific treatment used.
- Undesirable results: There is a possibility that the desired results may not be achieved or may fall short of expectations. Proper consultation and realistic expectations are essential in ensuring satisfaction with the outcomes.
