Each procedure is performed by registered nurse Sarah using advanced formulations for precise contouring.
Targeted contour. Subtle definition. Balanced proportions.
Fat dissolving, also known as cosmetic fat reduction, is a non-surgical treatment that helps break down small, localised fat deposits. Common areas include under the chin, around the jawline, or other zones of soft tissue fullness. At Bloom, treatments are tailored to your facial anatomy to reduce volume while preserving natural structure and movement.
Refined Definition
Fat reduction treatments at Bloom Hobart are designed to target small, stubborn areas of fullness, particularly under the chin or along the jawline. The goal is subtle reshaping that enhances your natural angles without altering your features.
Balanced Contour
By selectively reducing soft tissue volume, this treatment supports a more sculpted jawline and improved profile. It’s often used to complement chin or neck structure without affecting facial harmony.
Gradual Refinement
Fat cells are broken down over time and cleared naturally by the body. This allows for a progressive, low-downtime result that supports long-term facial balance with minimal disruption.
The Treatment Process
Every fat dissolving treatment at Bloom Aesthetic Clinic begins with a comprehensive consultation with registered nurse Sarah. During this session, your medical history, skin health, and aesthetic goals are reviewed in detail. Sarah will assess the treatment area to determine whether submental fullness (under the chin) or other small fat pockets are suitable for fat reduction.
This consultation also addresses potential contraindications, including metabolic conditions, concerns about liver function, or prior cosmetic procedures. Sarah will explain the process, outline the expected results, and discuss possible risks so that you can make an informed decision. Treatment only proceeds if it’s clinically appropriate and aligned with your goals
Swelling is expected after treatment, particularly in the first 48 to 72 hours. This may be accompanied by tenderness, bruising, or a sensation of firmness under the skin. These effects typically peak within the first few days and gradually subside throughout one to two weeks.
Visible results take longer to emerge. Fat cells gradually break down and are cleared by the body’s lymphatic system over six to twelve weeks. Depending on the amount of fullness, most clients require two to four sessions spaced four to eight weeks apart.
Final results usually settle by day five to ten as the product integrates with surrounding tissue. The treated area will feel soft, mobile, and hydrated once settled. Depending on your metabolism, lifestyle, and product used, results can last six to twelve months.
Clients are encouraged to wait for full settling before assessing symmetry or volume. Repeat treatments are spaced safely and discussed on a case-by-case basis.
After cleaning and marking the area, a series of fine applications is made to evenly distribute the product through the targeted fat layer. A numbing agent is applied beforehand to help minimise discomfort. The formulation works to break down fat cells, which are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body.
The treatment takes approximately 30 to 45 minutes. your Hobart cosmetic nurse uses a careful and measured approach to support gradual, natural-looking reduction while minimising downtime. Product choice is tailored to your individual anatomy and treatment goals to ensure safe and precise results.
Before leaving the Bellerive cosmetic clinic, you’ll receive clear aftercare guidance to support healing and reduce inflammation. These typically include:
- Avoiding alcohol, strenuous activity, and heat exposure for 24 to 48 hours
- Avoiding makeup and firm pressure on the treated area for 12 hours
- Sleeping with your head elevated to help manage swelling
- Using cold compresses as advised
- Monitoring for signs of infection or unusual swelling
Mild swelling and numbness can persist for several days, but most clients return to work and light activity within 24 to 48 hours. Swelling generally resolves within three to five days, while mild bruising may take up to seven days.
Fat dissolving injections are a cosmetic procedure and carry risks. At Bloom Aesthetic Clinic, all clients are screened for safety and suitability.
Common side effects include:
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Bruising
- Firmness or numbness at the injection site
Less common risks include:
- Temporary difficulty swallowing (if treating the submental area)
- Nodules or firmness under the skin
- Asymmetry or uneven fat reduction
- Prolonged inflammation
Rare but serious complications include nerve injury or tissue necrosis if the product is incorrectly placed. Cosmetic nurse Sarah is trained to minimise these risks and will provide detailed post-treatment support, including access to after-hours advice if required.
Why Choose Bloom Aesthetic Clinic Hobart
Combine Your Cosmetic Therapies
From lip volumisation to wrinkle reduction, see how Hobart clients layer treatments for greater impact.
Support lower face definition while reducing bulk
Once volume is reduced under the chin, sculpting treatments can help define the jawline or support soft tissue. Often layered with skin-tightening or wrinkle-reducing treatments for a firmer contour.
Treat overactive muscles that alter your facial balance
Reducing frown lines or downward-pulling muscles can complement fat reduction in the lower face. Often used to support jawline definition or prevent volume loss from looking exaggerated.
Improve texture and support post-treatment skin
Microneedling supports dermal repair and tightness following fat reduction. It enhances tone and elasticity across the jawline and neck while improving overall skin quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most clients require two to four sessions, spaced four to eight weeks apart, depending on the amount of fat to be removed, the response rate, and the desired outcome. Some clients experience visible changes after just one session, but a full reduction typically takes time and consistency. Nurse Sarah will advise on the number and spacing of treatments during your consultation.
This treatment is most commonly used under the chin but may also be suitable for small fat pockets around the jawline, bra area, or lower face. It is not appropriate for large-volume fat reduction or weight loss. Sarah will assess your anatomy to determine if injectable fat reduction is clinically appropriate.
Swelling is most noticeable in the first 48 to 72 hours and can feel firm or full. For most clients, this resolves within one week; however, mild puffiness may persist for a slightly longer period. Swelling is a part of the body’s inflammatory response and is necessary for the breakdown of fat cells.
Yes. Once fat cells are destroyed and cleared by the lymphatic system, they do not regenerate. However, remaining fat cells can still expand if weight is gained. For stable results, clients are encouraged to maintain their weight post-treatment.
Fat dissolving is not a skin-tightening procedure. Some clients may experience mild firming due to inflammation and tissue response. However, if laxity is present, Sarah may recommend combining the treatment with skin tightening or collagen-stimulating therapies to achieve a smoother contour.
Yes. This treatment is frequently performed on male clients wanting to reduce submental fullness or contour the lower face without surgery. The approach is tailored to preserve masculine features and avoid over-softening.
Most clients return to work within 24 to 48 hours, but mild swelling and tenderness can persist for several days. If your work involves speaking, high visibility, or physical exertion, you may prefer to schedule treatment before a weekend or take a short break.
Weight gain can affect your result, but it won’t recreate the same distribution of fat. The dissolved fat cells are permanently removed; however, remaining fat cells may continue to expand. For best outcomes, results should be maintained with stable weight and ongoing care if needed.
