What Causes Excess Facial Fat or a Double Chin?

Excess facial fat and a double chin can develop for several reasons, including genetics, ageing, hormonal changes, and weight fluctuations. Even individuals who maintain a healthy weight may develop stubborn fat beneath the chin or around the jawline due to inherited facial anatomy or changes in skin elasticity over time.

Am I Suitable for Treatment?

Most healthy adults with localised pockets of stubborn facial fat may be suitable for non-surgical treatment. During your consultation, your practitioner will assess your facial anatomy, skin laxity, medical history, and desired outcome to determine the most appropriate treatment for your individual concerns.

Are the Treatments Safe?

When performed by appropriately qualified medical professionals, non-surgical facial fat loss treatments are generally considered safe for suitable patients. At Dr Nyla Medispa, every treatment begins with a detailed consultation to assess suitability, explain the potential benefits and risks, and ensure the chosen treatment is appropriate for your facial anatomy and medical history.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The number of treatments required varies depending on the amount of excess fat being treated, the technology used, and your individual response. Some patients achieve their desired result after a single treatment, while others benefit from a course of treatments. Your practitioner will discuss your recommended treatment plan during your consultation.

Are Results from Facial Fat Loss Treatments Permanent?

Many facial fat loss treatments are designed to permanently reduce treated fat cells. However, maintaining a stable body weight and healthy lifestyle is important, as remaining fat cells can still increase in size over time. Your practitioner will advise how to achieve and maintain the best possible long-term outcome.

Can Facial Fat Loss Treatments Tighten Loose Skin?

Some treatments offered at Dr Nyla Medispa can address both excess fat and mild skin laxity. Depending on your individual concerns, your practitioner may recommend combining fat reduction with skin tightening treatments to achieve improved facial definition and a balanced, natural-looking result.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really positive consultation with Dr Nyla at Dr Nyla’s Medi Spa, 32 Dover Street. From the outset, she was warm, professional, open and refreshingly honest.

What I appreciated most was that she didn’t sugarcoat anything or try to recommend treatments unnecessarily. She listened carefully to my concerns, gave me realistic advice about what could be achieved, and recommended what she genuinely felt was the best course of treatment for me.
I left the consultation feeling informed, reassured and really excited about moving forward. I’m now looking forward to completing my treatment and seeing the final results. So far, a very positive experience and I feel I’m in good hands. I will update this post with my results.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a re-evaluation of a thread lift I had done abroad which suddenly acted up by Dr Vadim, who was very reassuring, and was able to explain clearly and concisely what had happened, what to do, and why. Everyone at the clinic was very kind and helpful, and I felt well looked after. Thank you so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My wife and I recently visited the clinic—I had a facial, and she received Botox. I can honestly say this is the best clinic I have ever been to.From the moment we walked in, the environment was immaculately clean and incredibly welcoming. The staff were so friendly, guiding us through the entire process and patiently answering every question we had. We were both a bit nervous because of poor experiences at other clinics in the past, but the team completely put us at ease.The treatments themselves were absolutely phenomenal. My facial was one of the best I’ve ever had; I saw a visible improvement in my skin within the first 10 minutes, and the radiant results have lasted. My wife's Botox treatment with Dr. Nyla was exceptional—virtually pain-free, and it has already done wonders for her.Thank you so much to Dr. Nyla and the entire team for turning what we expected to be a nerve-wracking day into an amazing experience. I will be recommending this clinic to absolutely everyone, and we will definitely be returning!
