Fat-dissolving injections are a method to reduce excess fat and cellulite in targeted areas, such as the cheeks, double chin, jawline, thighs, and calves, without the need for surgery. The primary ingredient used is Phosphatidylcholine (extracted from soybeans or egg yolks) along with various vitamins, which are injected into the areas where fat is accumulated. This method is considered very safe because it uses natural extracts, and these vitamins are easily broken down and absorbed by the body.
Procedure for fat dissolving injections
The doctor mixes the medication and fat-dissolving solution, with the amount of the solution injected being 0.2-0.5 cc. The injection is administered at a depth of approximately 5-10 mm into the area where fat needs to be reduced, with each injection point spaced about 2 cm apart. The injections are repeated every 5-7 days to achieve noticeable results.
Contraindications for fat dissolving injections are as follows:
• Pregnant women
• Diabetic patients who require regular insulin injections
• Patients with a history of cerebrovascular disorders, such as stroke or brain artery blockage
• Patients with a history of blood disorders or cancer
• Patients with a history of heart disease and are on multiple medications
The following are instructions after fat dissolving injections:
- Drink at least 2 liters of water as it helps flush out the excess fat that has been broken down and removed from the body.
- You may experience some swelling, bruising, or mild pain during and after the procedure, but these symptoms should subside within 1-3 days.
- Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages and smoking.
- Eat foods high in fiber, such as vegetables and fruits.
- Refrain from eating fatty foods, such as fried items, pastries, sugar, tea, and coffee.
- Engage in light exercise, such as yoga, brisk walking, or aerobic dancing, to help tighten muscles and accelerate the fat removal process while preventing new fat accumulation.
