Injection lipolysis treatment in Izmir for localized fat reduction performed by a dermatologist

Injection Lipolysis in Izmir – Dermatologist Dr. Orhan Demirer

What Is Injection Lipolysis?

Injection lipolysis is a non-surgical fat reduction and body contouring procedure that targets localized fat deposits. It involves injecting a fat-dissolving solution, typically a modified sodium salt of deoxycholic acid, which naturally occurs in the body. This solution breaks down fat cell membranes safely, and the destroyed fat cells are then eliminated via the lymphatic system and urine.

Which Areas Can Be Treated?

Injection lipolysis is effective for stubborn fat areas resistant to diet and exercise, including:

  • Double chin (submental area)

  • Abdomen

  • Upper arms

  • Inner knees

  • Hips and thighs

  • Calves and legs

  • Enlarged male breasts (gynecomastia)

How Is the Procedure Performed?

  • The treatment area is numbed with a topical anesthetic cream.

  • A fine needle or cannula is used to inject the fat-dissolving solution into the subcutaneous fat layer.

  • The procedure is quick, often completed in 10–20 minutes, and generally well-tolerated.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

  • Typically 3–5 sessions are performed at 3-week intervals.

  • Results can be seen after a single session in smaller areas, like under the chin.

  • The exact number of sessions depends on the size of the area, amount of fat, and individual response.

Aftercare: What to Expect

  • Return to daily activities immediately.

  • Temporary side effects may include mild pain, burning, swelling, bruising, or itching.

  • Avoid applying cosmetic products for the first 12 hours.

  • Protect the area from heat and sun exposure.

  • Maintain a balanced diet and exercise routine for optimal results.
