Double Chin Reduction Treatment in Hyderabad
Are you bothered by the appearance of a double chin, medically known as submental fullness? This common concern can affect individuals of all ages and weights, often making one look older or heavier than they are. A double chin can be caused by genetics, ageing, or weight fluctuations. At Dr. Nishita’s Clinic in Hyderabad, we offer effective, non-surgical and minimally invasive treatments, including targeted fat-dissolving injections and skin tightening technologies, to reduce submental fat and sculpt a more defined neck and jawline.
Understanding Double Chin (Submental Fullness)
A double chin results from an accumulation of subcutaneous fat beneath the chin, in the submental area. Key contributing factors include:
- Genetics: Some individuals are genetically predisposed to storing fat in this area.
- Ageing: Skin loses elasticity with age, which can lead to sagging and the appearance of a double chin. Fat distribution can also change.
- Weight Fluctuations: Weight gain can lead to increased fat in the submental area, though a double chin can persist even after weight loss for some.
- Poor Posture: Forward head posture can sometimes accentuate the appearance of submental fullness.
Non-Surgical Double Chin Reduction Options
We focus on treatments that effectively target and reduce submental fat and/or tighten skin:
This is a primary non-surgical treatment. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the submental fat, it permanently destroys fat cells. The body then naturally eliminates these cells. (See our “Double Chin Injections” page for more details).
- High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU): Can help tighten loose skin in the neck and jawline area, improving the contour once fat is reduced or if skin laxity is a primary contributor.
- Microneedling Radiofrequency (MNRF): Can also promote collagen production and skin tightening in the submental and neck region.
May be used to provide a subtle lift and improve the contour of the jawline and upper neck if mild skin laxity is present.
The Treatment Process (Focus on Fat-Dissolving Injections)
Dr. Nishita will assess your submental area, discuss your medical history, and determine if you are a good candidate for fat-dissolving injections or other treatments. Your goals and realistic expectations will be discussed.
The treatment area is cleansed, and a grid may be marked to guide injections. Ice or topical anaesthetic may be applied for comfort, though many deoxycholic acid formulations now contain an anaesthetic.
Multiple small injections of the fat-dissolving solution are administered into the submental fat.
Significant swelling, redness, tenderness, and numbness in the treated area are common and expected, typically lasting for several days to a few weeks. Bruising may also occur. These are signs the treatment is working.
Most patients require 2-4 treatment sessions spaced at least 4-6 weeks apart to achieve desired results.

Expect significant swelling, redness, and tenderness for several days to a few weeks. This is a normal part of the inflammatory process that leads to fat cell destruction. Plan for social downtime accordingly.
Yes, the fat cells destroyed by deoxycholic acid are permanently eliminated and will not return. However, maintaining a stable weight is important to prevent remaining fat cells from enlarging.
Individuals with moderate submental fat and good skin elasticity are often ideal candidates for fat-dissolving injections. If significant skin laxity is present, combination with skin tightening treatments like HIFU or MNRF may be recommended.
