What is lipolysis (fat dissolving) and is it used on the face?

Lipolysis is a treatment that dissolves localized fat deposits through injection. On the face, it is especially applied to stubborn fat accumulations in the submental (double chin) and cheek areas. Deoxycholic acid-based injections break down fat cells, which the body then eliminates naturally. Two to four sessions (4-6 weeks apart) may be needed. It is ideal for patients seeking a more defined jawline and facial contour.
