Double Chin Removal in Adelaide, Australia
A double chin can affect how the lower face looks, even when someone is healthy and active. It may make the jawline appear less defined or create a fuller profile.
At Face and Body Adelaide in Australia, we offer non surgical options that aim to help reduce fullness beneath the chin. Each treatment plan is personalised following a detailed consultation with a qualified practitioner.
All cosmetic procedures carry risk. A consultation with a qualified practitioner is required to determine suitability, discuss potential risks, and understand expected recovery.
What Causes a Double Chin?
A double chin, also known as submental fullness, can develop for several different reasons. It occurs when excess fat forms beneath the chin, creating a softer or less defined jawline. While weight gain is a common cause, other factors can also contribute.
1. Ageing
As we age, the skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness. This can lead to mild sagging around the chin and neck. Even without significant weight changes, these natural shifts can make the area beneath the chin appear fuller.
2. Genetics
Genetics play a major role in how and where the body stores fat. Some people inherit a tendency to develop a double chin, even if they maintain a healthy weight. Family history often influences how defined the jawline appears.
3. Weight Changes
An increase in overall body weight can also contribute to fat accumulation under the chin. However, some people may notice a double chin forming even after small or moderate weight changes.
4. Posture and Lifestyle
Poor posture can weaken neck and chin muscles over time. This may reduce support for the skin, leading to a less contoured appearance. Lifestyle habits, such as limited physical activity, can also play a role.
Every person’s experience is unique, and several factors often combine to influence the look of the chin and jawline. A consultation with a qualified practitioner can help identify possible causes and discuss suitable treatment options.
How to get rid of Double Chin in Australia?
There are non surgical treatments available in Australia that aim to reduce stubborn fat under the chin. One common option involves using injections that target fat cells in the area. At Face and Body Adelaide, our qualified practitioner will assess your chin and mark the treatment zone before beginning the procedure.
These treatments involve the use of a prescription-only injectable compound administered by a qualified practitioner. The compound acts to break down targeted fat cells, which are then processed naturally by the body.
Treatment usually takes around 30 minutes and is performed by trained medical practitioners. Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on your goals and the amount of fat present. A consultation is required to determine suitability and to ensure you understand potential risks and expected outcomes.
Double Chin Reduction in Adelaide, Australia
This treatment uses a series of targeted injections that contain a naturally occurring compound. When placed under the chin, this compound works to break down fat cells, which are then processed and removed by the body’s natural systems.
Most people require a few sessions for noticeable results, though individual needs may vary. Gradual changes can often be seen within several weeks as the body responds to the treatment.
Double chin reduction may be suitable for those with stubborn fat deposits beneath the chin who are looking to refine their jawline. However, it may not be appropriate for people with significant skin laxity in the neck area. This treatment does not tighten skin or rejuvenate its appearance.
A consultation is essential to determine suitability and discuss any potential risks. Your practitioner will guide you through every step to ensure safe, professional care and realistic expectations.
Double Chin Treatment Cost and Expectations in Australia
The cost of double chin treatment varies because everyone’s needs are different. The price depends on the number of sessions required and the treatment area size. A consultation is always needed to confirm suitability and provide a personalised estimate.
Before treatment begins, you will attend a 30-minute consultation. During this time, our qualified professional reviews your goals and discusses what results may be possible. They will also explain the treatment process, expected downtime, and any potential risks.
Treatment sessions are usually quick and may take about 30 minutes to complete. Many people require two or three sessions, while others may need additional appointments for the best outcome. Results appear gradually, as the body processes the treated fat over time.
Some swelling and tenderness are common after treatment. Each person recovers differently, and your practitioner will provide guidance to support comfort during the healing process.
A personalised assessment is the most accurate way to understand treatment costs and expectations. This ensures you receive advice that is tailored to your own needs.

Double Chin Reduction FAQs
Am I a suitable candidate for double chin injections?
Double chin injections are ideal for patients who want to treat moderate to severe submental fullness. However, treatment is not a replacement for a healthy eating plan and exercise regime. Your Face and Body clinician will need to review your medical history and examine your chin area before you can be cleared for this treatment.
Will my double chin injections be painful?
Patients can expect to feel a slight pinch as the injections are administered but a topical numbing agent can be used to alleviate any pain if this is a concern. We will always do everything possible to make your treatments comfortable. The area may be slightly tender after your treatment but this will subside within a day or two. Over the counter pain killers can be used if necessary.
Are chin fat removal injections more effective than liposuction?
If you have a double chin and would like to achieve a more contoured profile, double chin injections are definitely a more convenient and less-invasive alternative to liposuction. Double chin reduction treatments don’t require any incisions, which means no downtime is necessary and there won’t be any scarring. The only other difference is that you will more than likely only need one liposuction session but you will require more than one double chin reduction treatment to achieve the desired result.
Do double chin injections produce any side effects?
As with any cosmetic treatment, there is always a risk of side effects. Following your treatment, you can expect some mild swelling, bruising, discomfort and sometimes numbness. Fortunately, a cold compress and pain medication can be used to reduce these side effects. Some patients have also reported firmness in the area that was treated but knows that this is completely normal and it will subside. Your Face and Body clinician will inform you about what you can expect after your treatment.
When can I expect to see the results?
Most patients will need at least 2 to 3 treatments to achieve their desired results, which means you can expect to see a noticeable difference 6 months after your initial treatment.
How long will the results of treatment last?
The results of your double chin reduction sessions are long term. Once the fat has been dissolved, it won’t return, provided the patient maintains a stable weight. In most cases, patients can expect their results to last for up to 5 years but this will be different for everyone.
