Fat Dissolving Injections

10 replies

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering what experiences people have had with fat dissolving injections? I have a very stubborn bra bulge that looks like it doesn't belong to my body! I have dieted and exercised and I have levelled out with my weight loss journey but this area just still remains and I hate it. I am quite short with a large ish chest so my torso is almost too short and with these fat pockets and it looks a bit weird I think its more pronounced because of my short torso. I am now have a BMI at 26.6 (when I was a little smaller without these fat pockets I was only ever as low as 25.2 so I am always a little bit heavier and curvy by nature)

So far I have researched fat freezing which I think I have ruled out and doesnt seem that available any more and now come across fat dissolving injections but there are a couple of options and would be interested to hear peoples experiences for Lemon Bottle, Aqualax, Lipolax etc...

Did it work, was there any nasty reactions, is it a total waste of money and only lipo will do what you want!

Had lemon bottle for a very stubborn double chin (even losing 10kg made little difference to it)
They (3 separate injections each a fortnight apart) made a difference and then HIFU helped but ultimately I ended up going for lipo about 18m later.
Jab 1 fine, jab 2 vereeeee stingy (brought tears to my eyes), jab 3 was bloody painful and I consider myself to have a decent pain threshold.

@Wineisalwaysagoodidea so it worked but then did it creep back in or were you not 100% happy with the results?

thank you for letting me know about the pain - do you think the nerves get more sensitive in the area?

I had 2 rounds of lemon bottle in my jawline and chin, made a massive difference! And it has stayed slimmer ever since. Injections hurt a bit but not the worst thing in the world. I have no regrets, it was worth the money for me.

@LuckyMoonstone brill thank you so much for letting me know. Its a real mix bag on the internet for reviews but I am specifically wanting to focus on small areas which this seems ok

@haribo1989smaller areas definitely work better, I had a bit on my tummy too but it didn’t do much there

It reduced the fat for sure and I think the pain I felt demonstrated that as it gradually got more painful with each appointment because the area being injected had less fat. Ultimately it didn't give me the jaw line I wanted - I needed HIFU afterwards, which again, made a difference but is not permanent.

just to update had the injections a week ago and I can see a very noticeable difference where my bra bulge was. It hurt a little but bearable and I made sure I massaged the area, stayed really hydrated and kept exercising as normal. so far I would recommend. I have just had a treatment on my lower tummy pouch too.

Could I ask which injection you went for?x

Lemon bottle didn’t work for me at all. I kidded myself I could see a difference but photos say otherwise.

I am interested in getting rid of fat around my neck and jawline to get a more defined jaw, so I am interested in this thread. I did try aqualux and it was extremely painful. I also didn’t see results but I think you need a course. Tbh, I think lipo is the way to go and more of a permanent option so I’d rather save my money for that.
