Fat Deposits Removal
Fat deposits are a build-up of layers of fat in specific body zones — commonly the chin, jowls, tummy, thighs or flanks. One of the most common fat deposits is submental fat — the double chin. Weight gain often plays a role, but genetics is also significant — you may have a double chin or sagging jowls even if you are not overweight.
Non-Surgical Options That Work
Liposuction is the gold standard surgical approach for fat deposit removal — but it comes with anaesthesia, downtime, and surgical risks. For many patients, non-surgical alternatives can achieve comparable results in the right fat compartments. The 4K Body Lift uses radiofrequency to eliminate compact resistant fat — achieving 15–20% reduction per session with permanent results and no downtime.
For the face, 3D Facial Reconstruction directly targets jowl and submental fat with surgical radiofrequency — reducing fat volume while simultaneously lifting and tightening the overlying skin. This dual mechanism makes it particularly effective for facial fat deposits.
Selecting the right treatment modality depends on the volume and location of fat, whether laxity is also a concern, and the patient's preference for downtime. Dr Sin Yong assesses each case individually to recommend the most appropriate approach.
