Submental fat (commonly referred to as a “double chin”) and other localised areas of fat are a common concern for some individuals.
Non-surgical fat reduction treatments offer a medically supervised alternative to traditional surgical methods.
During consultation, Dr Allison will evaluate your individual goals, lifestyle, and health history to determine whether you are suitable for a non-surgical approach. This may include discussing energy-based technologies that use controlled heat or muscle stimulation to target fat cells or support muscle tone.
Some non-surgical fat-reduction approaches involve registered medical devices or prescription-only treatments. In line with Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, specific devices and medicines are not advertised publicly and are only discussed privately during consultation.
Potential Benefits of Non-Surgical Body Contouring
Medically Supervised Approach
All treatments are performed under clinical supervision without the need for surgery or general anaesthesia.
Typical Recovery and After-Care
Some individuals are able to resume daily activities shortly after treatment, though recovery experiences will vary.
Individualised Treatment Planning
Each treatment plan is customised to your anatomy, lifestyle and goals. Dr Allison will outline all options and explain which approach is most appropriate.
Gradual Improvement Over Time
Depending on the suitable treatment, non-surgical fat reduction may produce gradual changes over time as the body responds to treatment.
Who May Be Suitable
Patients considering non-surgical fat reduction may wish to address localised areas of fat.
Suitable candidates generally:
-
Have a stable weight within a healthy range
-
Are in good general health with realistic expectations
-
Seek a non-surgical alternative to liposuction
-
Are comfortable with gradual changes and follow-up sessions if recommended
Suitability is determined after a full medical assessment. Individuals with certain conditions or medications may not be appropriate candidates. All medical procedures carry some risk, which Dr Allison will discuss before any treatment to ensure informed consent.
Recovery and After-Care
Recovery experiences after non-surgical fat reduction vary between individuals. Patients may experience temporary warmth, swelling, or tenderness that resolves within days.
After-care may include:
-
Avoiding heat exposure and strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours
-
Staying hydrated to assist metabolism and healing
-
Gently cleansing the treated area and avoiding friction
Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to review your response to treatment and determine if further sessions are appropriate.
