Double chin treatment aims to reduce fullness under the chin and help define the angle between the chin and neck. Depending on whether the cause is fat, loose skin or both, it can mean fat-dissolving injections (injection lipolysis), laser skin tightening with Endolift, or chin liposuction. It suits adults with a double chin that stays despite a stable, healthy weight. At 7 Dimensions Medical Center (7DMC), our aesthetic doctors offer double chin treatments at our Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3) and Al Barsha (Arjan) branches, and our plastic surgeon performs chin liposuction when it is the better option.
A double chin (submental fullness) can come from fat under the chin, loose skin, a small or set-back chin, or a mix of these. Genetics play a large part, which is why slim people can have one too. Treatment starts with a doctor working out which of these is causing yours, because each needs a different tool.
Injection lipolysis uses a fat-dissolving solution, such as deoxycholic acid, a substance the body makes to help absorb dietary fat. Injected into the fat under the chin, it damages the walls of fat cells, and the body clears them gradually over the following weeks. Fat cells that are broken down do not regrow, although remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight gain.
At 7DMC, double chin plans can combine fat-dissolving injections, laser treatment and fillers.
| Option | How it works | Often chosen for | Recovery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fat-dissolving injections | Injection lipolysis breaks down small amounts of fat | Mild to moderate fat, good skin | Swelling for 3 to 7 days per session |
| Endolift | A fine laser fibre can tighten skin and reduce small fat pockets | Fat with some loose skin | Usually 2 to 3 days |
| Chin liposuction | Our plastic surgeon removes fat through a tiny incision | Larger amounts of fat | About 1 week |
| Chin and jawline filler | Can bring a small chin forward to define the profile | A set-back chin that adds to the double chin look | Usually 1 to 2 days |
For more detail, see our pages on Endolift, liposuction, including chin liposuction and dermal fillers for the chin and jawline.

Swelling is usual for several days after injections, so the chin may look fuller before it looks smaller. Fat is cleared gradually, with each session's result showing over 4 to 8 weeks. Most people need 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. With Endolift, one session is usual and tightening builds over 3 to 6 months. Keeping a stable weight helps the result last. Results vary from person to person.
Double chin treatments are medical procedures. After injections, swelling, bruising, pain, numbness and firmness under the chin are common. Less commonly, people have short-lived difficulty swallowing, an uneven contour or skin irritation. Rare risks include injury to the nerve that controls the lower lip, causing an uneven smile that is usually temporary, skin damage, and hair loss in the treated area. Endolift and liposuction have their own risks, explained on their pages and at consultation.
The cost of double chin treatment in Dubai usually ranges from AED 800 to AED 2,500 per injection session, depending on the product and amount used, the number of sessions and the clinic. Typical ranges: Fat-dissolving injections, per session, AED 800 to AED 2,500; Endolift, jawline and under-chin, AED 3,000 to AED 6,000. These are typical market prices across Dubai clinics, not a 7DMC price list. At 7DMC, your exact price is confirmed at your consultation, before any treatment.
The medical term for a double chin is submental fullness. Non-surgical reduction with injections is called injection lipolysis, and surgical reduction is submental (chin) liposuction.
Most people need 2 to 4 sessions, 4 to 8 weeks apart. Your doctor reviews you after each session.
Kybella is a US brand name for deoxycholic acid, a fat-dissolving injection for the double chin. Your doctor will tell you which licensed fat-dissolving product is used at 7DMC and why.
Yes. Swelling is part of how the treatment works and usually settles within 3 to 7 days, sometimes longer after the first session.
For mild to moderate fat with good skin, injections or Endolift may be enough. For larger amounts of fat, chin liposuction can give a clearer result in one procedure.
It can reduce it, but a double chin is often genetic or linked to chin shape, so some people keep it at a healthy weight.
7DMC offers double chin treatment at both branches: Jumeirah (Umm Suqeim 3, opposite Jumeirah Beach Hotel) and Al Barsha (Arjan, Al Barsha South).
