An innovative combination of fat dissolution with lifting threads -also known as Happy Lift- eliminates the double chin and gives face a lift, making it look lighter and more cheerful.

Both women and men are annoyed by the dewlap because it alters their face. The area beneath the dewlap acts like a fat deposit. The fat that accumulates there in combination with the relaxation of the skin has a tendency to pull the face down, make it look heavy and sad and at the same time adds weight. Fat dissolution is one of the key procedures that manage to remove years in a single move. At the same time, the application of threads immediately corrects the relaxation that coexists or occurs with the removal of fat.

– What is fat dissolution with injections?

Fat dissolution is a safe non-surgical option for the treatment of localised fat in problem areas. The injectable fat solubles liquefy the adipocyte, permanently destroying it and releasing the lipids which are then excreted naturally through the lymphatic system. They are officially approved fat dissolving agents worldwide for injectable treatments, non-surgical reduction of local fat.

– What’s the process of fat dissolution?

Thanks to the endolipid injection technique and specially designed Lipoinject needles, the fat soluble is injected into the subcutaneous adipose tissue in a homogeneous and selective manner. The treatment can be applied almost to the whole body. Depending on the desired degree of correction and the extent of the fat deposit . The number of sessions varies from 2 to 5 treatments with 3-week intervals. Two applications are usually made in the double chin.

– How’s the skin after fat dissolution?

Immediately after application, the patient can return to his daily activities. The area can just blush and show a slight swelling. As with any treatment with hypodermic needles, a very small haematoma may occur which will completely resolve a few days after treatment.

– When & how are the lifting threads placed?

Three weeks after the second fat dissolution, that is, when its action has been completed, the lifting threads are placed. After applying local anaesthesia to the area, the physician opens tiny holes with the help of a simple needle under the ears. From these the physician introduces the threads and crosses them to pull the loose skin from the neck and the dewlap. Thanks to the cones, the threads are stabilized, stimulating the production of collagen, so the facial skin is also stabilized on them.

– How long does threading take, is it painful?

The procedure ends in 30 minutes and the patient is ready to leave. When the anaesthetic wears off, some mild discomfort may occur. The discomforts pass after 24 hours. A week later, the neck gets its final picture.

– How long does it take to correct the happy lift?

Fat dissolution is permanent provided the patient does not gain weight. Six to nine months after placement the threads are absorbed but the skin has synthesized so much collagen around them that it remains lifted for the next two to three years. As with injectable materials, the technique can be repeated because it is not permanent.
