Many people wonder whether it’s possible that after fat-dissolving injections for the cheeks and double chin, there are no visible results—no reduction in fat, no slimmer face. What could be the reasons behind this? And what precautions should be followed after the procedure? In this article, the doctor will explain this treatment in more detail.
How many days does it take to see results from facial fat-dissolving injections?
In general, results start to become visible within about 7–14 days. The injected substance gradually works to break down localized fat in the treated areas, causing fat cells to disintegrate and be eliminated from the body as waste. This can reduce fat by approximately 10–15% per session, depending on each individual’s initial fat volume.
For the Lipo-S meso fat formula, a concentrated formula developed by MEGA CLINIC’s medical team, it contains key ingredients that specifically support fat metabolism, including:
- L-Carnitine: Helps the body utilize fat as an energy source, playing a role in the fat-burning process and supporting targeted fat reduction.
- Centella asiatica extract: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping reduce pain, burning sensation, and swelling effectively.
Why don’t some people see results after fat-dissolving injections?
However, in some cases, results may not appear as clearly as expected. There are several possible reasons, summarized into 4 main factors:
1) Too much fat on the face – more injections needed
As mentioned earlier, a quality formula can reduce about 10–20% of existing fat. The visibility of results depends on the amount of fat present. If there is a high level of fat accumulation, doctors may recommend multiple sessions for optimal results. However, treatment can be stopped at any time once the desired facial contour is achieved.
2) Inappropriate post-treatment care
After fat-dissolving injections, there are no strict prohibitions, but there are recommended practices to enhance fat reduction, speed up results, and maintain long-term outcomes while preventing new fat accumulation.
If proper self-care is not followed, certain lifestyle behaviors may negatively impact the results. Common examples include:
- Continuing to consume fried or high-fat foods: These foods are high in fat, and excessive intake leads to fat accumulation in both the face and body. It is recommended to consume them in moderation and combine with exercise.
- Not controlling daily calorie intake: Avoid overeating. Consume only what your body needs. If you eat more, you should burn more. This not only enhances visible results but also improves overall metabolism.
If you still struggle with overeating or snacking, you might want to consider using weight loss pens to control your hunger.
3) Choosing a non-standard clinic or low-quality products
Another reason for poor results may be selecting a clinic that does not meet standards or uses low-quality substances. This can reduce fat-dissolving effectiveness and may increase the risk of side effects such as allergic reactions or inflammation.
Therefore, choosing a certified clinic with proper medical supervision is essential for both safety and effectiveness.
4) Choosing the wrong treatment for a wide face
In many cases, a wide or bulky face is not caused by fat alone. Some people may assume it is due to fat accumulation in the cheeks or double chin and choose fat-dissolving injections.
However, after a detailed assessment, doctors often find that large jaw muscles also play a role. This can make the face appear square or wide. In such cases, fat reduction alone may not produce noticeable results.
A more suitable option may be Jaw Botox, which temporarily reduces jaw muscle activity, causing the muscle to relax and shrink. This helps create a slimmer and more proportionate facial contour. Results may vary depending on the individual.Jaw Botox ซึ่งจะช่วยลดการทำงานของกล้ามเนื้อกรามลงชั่วคราว ทำให้กล้ามเนื้อคลายตัวและมีขนาดเล็กลง ส่งผลให้รูปหน้าดูเรียวและได้สัดส่วนมากขึ้น ทั้งนี้ผลลัพธ์อาจแตกต่างกันในแต่ละบุคคลค่ะ
What are the precautions after fat-dissolving injections?
To enhance results and reduce the chance of new fat accumulation, it is recommended to:
- Avoid oily, fried, and high-calorie foods
- Drink enough water
- Exercise regularly
- Avoid behaviors that promote fat accumulation
