Your plan combines fat-reduction injections with deoxycholic acid and often Sylfirm X or jawline support, staged over a few visits about 20 to 30 minutes each. A dermatologist-trained SOM provider injects a grid under the chin; you will feel pinches and warmth.
• Staged over a few visits
• ~20–30 minutes each
• Fat-reduction injections
• Often paired with RF/jawline
• Grid of injections under the chin

Expect swelling under the chin for several days to a couple of weeks, sometimes firmness or tenderness; this is part of how it works. Avoid pressure and strenuous exercise for a day or two. Definition develops gradually over the weeks between sessions.
• Swelling several days to ~2 weeks
• Firmness/tenderness is normal
• Avoid pressure 1–2 days
• No strenuous exercise briefly
• Definition builds over weeks

• Follow aftercare for each treatment
• Expect brief redness after microneedling
• Wear sunscreen and use your skincare
• Keep your staged appointments
• Report difficulty swallowing or weakness promptly
• Tell us about medications and allergies
• Do not massage aggressively after treatment
• Do not expect a single-session result
• Do not skip sessions in a staged plan
• Do not ignore unusual neck symptoms
• Do not use unverified at-home devices
• Do not proceed if pregnant (for some components)
Submental fullness can reflect fat, loose skin, anatomy, or a combination, and these need different approaches. A facial and neck assessment helps distinguish the cause before choosing tightening, fat-focused treatment, or surgical alternatives.
The existing SOM plan describes a non-surgical combination of RF microneedling and texture-focused care, not a confirmed injectable fat-dissolving protocol. Ask exactly which procedures are proposed; the service name alone does not establish that fat will be removed or dissolved.
The number of visits depends on whether the main concern is laxity, texture, or another cause of fullness. A staged plan may be discussed, but treatment should be reassessed if it does not address the underlying cause.
RF microneedling or resurfacing can cause redness, swelling, tenderness, and several days of visible recovery. RF risks include burns, scarring, unwanted fat loss, and nerve injury, so settings and anatomy need careful review rather than a blanket “minimal downtime” promise.
Non-surgical tightening does not stop aging or prevent changes from weight gain or loss. Ask which part of the proposed result is expected to last and whether maintenance is appropriate; permanent double-chin removal should not be promised from a texture or tightening plan.
The SOM double-chin quote depends on the diagnosed cause, procedures, and number of visits. Confirm whether the price covers tightening, resurfacing, any optional additions, and follow-up before comparing it with fat-dissolving injections or surgery.
