Treatment
Your doctor can decide to use other methods like as lipolysis or mesotherapy to help reduce Chin fat. Lipolysis is a procedure where laser heat is used to melt down fat and shape your skin. Lipolysis is used to reduce Chin fat and does not eliminate excess skin.
Mesotherapy on the other hand is a procedure where tiny bits of dissolving fat compounds are injected in your body. Deoxycholic acid can be injected to help your body ingest fats. This procedure should be performed by an experienced doctor or dermatologist otherwise the process can go wrong.
Outlook
If you want to reduce Chin fat, you should eat healthy and exercise regularly. If you cannot afford to go through the treatment procedures, then you should be patient as the Chin fat cannot disappear overnight. Make sure to maintain a healthy weight and your Chin fat will reduce.
