What it is
Injection lipolysis is an injectable solution delivered into small, stubborn fat deposits to break down fat cells, which the body then clears over time. It targets localised areas such as the chin, abdomen and arms.
Injection lipolysis uses advanced injectable solutions to break down localised fat cells, enabling the body to clear them naturally over time. It is suited to small, defined pockets of fat that have not responded to diet and exercise — areas such as the abdomen, thighs, chin and arms — rather than to general weight reduction.
Because the work is precise and area-specific, the injection pattern is planned around the deposit being treated and the result you are after. Most patients have a short course of sessions spaced over weeks, with the contour refining gradually between treatments as the body processes the broken-down fat.
At Shookra, lipolysis is carried out under doctor-led clinical protocols. Your clinician assesses the area, confirms the treatment suits the type of fat present, and plans an injection protocol tailored to your contours — keeping the approach measured and the downtime minimal.
Who it's for
Injection lipolysis is for people who are close to their target shape but carry small, stubborn pockets of fat that diet and exercise have not shifted — a fuller chin or jawline, or defined areas on the abdomen, flanks, thighs or arms. It is designed for refining contours, not for broad weight loss.
Because each protocol is planned around the area being treated, the approach can be kept conservative and built over a short course. Your clinician confirms suitability at consultation, checks the fat is of a type that responds, and reviews your medical history and any medications first.
- Small, stubborn pockets of fat
- A fuller chin or jawline
- Uneven contours on the abdomen or flanks
- Defined areas on the thighs or arms
Who it’s not for
A few situations mean it’s better to wait, or to choose a different treatment:
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Certain medical conditions, including liver or kidney conditions
- An active infection or broken skin at the injection site
- Looking for general weight loss — this is a localised contouring treatment, not a weight-loss treatment
This isn’t exhaustive, and none of it rules you out on its own — your clinician confirms suitability at consultation.
What to expect
- 01
Assess & plan
Your clinician reviews the area and your goals, confirms the treatment suits the fat present, and maps a personalised injection protocol targeted to the deposit being treated.
- 02
Treat
A series of small injections is administered across the marked area. You may feel brief stinging, warmth or pressure as the solution is placed; sessions are short and comfort is monitored throughout.
- 03
Recover & follow up
Some local swelling, tenderness or bruising is normal in the days after and settles on its own. You can return to daily activities, and your clinician reviews progress and plans any further sessions in the course.
Physician note
On Injection Lipolysis
I treat injection lipolysis as a contouring tool, not a weight-loss shortcut. It works best on small, defined pockets of fat in a patient who is already close to their target shape — a fuller chin, a stubborn area on the abdomen or flanks. I plan a short course, review the area between sessions, and let the result build gradually. Setting honest expectations at consultation matters more here than the injection itself.
