A defined jawline and sharp chin profile are among the most sought-after aesthetic goals — and for many people, diet and exercise simply cannot address the stubborn fat beneath the chin. At CosmeticaTX, we offer LiquidLipo (PCDC), a non-surgical injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells in the submental area, delivering a sculpted, contoured profile without surgery.
What is Double Chin Removal?
LiquidLipo is a fat-dissolving injectable treatment that uses phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid (PCDC) — compounds that break down and permanently destroy fat cell membranes. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot regenerate, making the results long-lasting. The treatment is administered directly into the submental fat (the fat beneath the chin), where it works to reduce the volume of the double chin and improve the definition of the jawline and neck. PCDC-based treatments have been used in aesthetic medicine for many years and are a well-established approach to non-surgical body contouring. LiquidLipo is designed specifically for targeted fat reduction in small areas where fat is resistant to diet and exercise.
How Does It Work?
During the treatment, a series of small injections are placed in a grid pattern across the submental fat pad. The PCDC solution disrupts the fat cell membrane, causing the cells to break down. The body then naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells through the lymphatic system over the following weeks. The treatment typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. Most clients require two to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart to achieve their desired result, as each session progressively reduces the fat volume. Results are gradual and continue to improve for up to eight weeks after each session.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
The ideal candidate for LiquidLipo double chin removal is an adult who has submental fat that is resistant to diet and exercise, has good skin elasticity in the neck and chin area, and is not significantly overweight. The treatment is most effective for clients who are at or near their goal weight and want to address a localized pocket of fat beneath the chin. Clients with loose or lax skin in the neck area may not achieve the same degree of improvement, as the treatment addresses fat but does not tighten skin — in these cases, a combination approach with Fibroblast skin tightening may be recommended. Pregnant or breastfeeding clients are not candidates.
What to Expect
Your appointment begins with a consultation and mapping of the treatment area. The submental area is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied. Your provider then administers the injections in a precise grid pattern. The session takes 20 to 30 minutes. Immediately after, the treated area will be swollen, red, and tender — this is a normal and expected response that indicates the treatment is working. Swelling typically peaks at 24 to 72 hours and gradually subsides over one to two weeks. Most clients see noticeable improvement after their first session, with optimal results visible after completing the full treatment series.
Recovery & Downtime
LiquidLipo has more post-treatment swelling than some other injectable treatments due to the nature of the fat-dissolving process. Swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness in the chin and neck area are expected and normal. Most clients experience significant swelling for three to five days, with residual swelling lasting up to two weeks. Applying ice wrapped in a cloth helps manage discomfort in the first 24 hours. Avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 48 hours after treatment. Most clients are comfortable returning to work and social activities within two to three days, though some prefer to schedule treatments around their social calendar.
Pricing
LiquidLipo double chin removal is priced per session, and most clients require two to four sessions for optimal results. Sessions are spaced four to six weeks apart. We offer package pricing for clients who purchase multiple sessions upfront. A personalized quote will be provided during your consultation based on the size of the treatment area and your goals.
