Q I have a jowl that doesn’t move, even though I’ve lost some weight lately. Can treatments make it go away?
A New generation fat melting injections have good experience with (very) experienced doctors. But make sure they are deoxycholic acid-based (or sodium deoxycholate-based) options marketed under the brand names Belkyra and Aqualyx (aqualyx.co.uk). Anything else can cause serious complications.
Dr. Sophie Shotter (dsophieshotter.com) uses Belkyra as the basis for her Facial Slim & Sculpt procedure (£900 per session).
In two to six sessions (depending on individual needs), acid droplets are injected into the submental fat (the layer of fat that forms under the chin) to emulsify, six to eight weeks apart. This is followed by the Lipo-Oval Meder Beauty slimming mask, which evacuates excess moisture from the face.

You’ll get four more masks to use at home between treatments, and you can buy them again online (£61 for a pack of five, mederbeauty.com).
The stings cause swelling for up to two weeks with numbness, itching and moderate pain.
Pictured Inge says you can expect 25% fat reduction after the first treatment with full results after four months.
After the first treatment, a 25% reduction in fat can be expected with full and permanent results (fat cells are destroyed) after four months.
