About Body Contouring Consultations

In some areas of the body, excess fat can persist despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. This is often due to genetics, hormone distribution, or the way fat cells are structured in certain regions.

Submental Contouring Consultations are non-surgical medical procedures designed to reduce small, localised pockets of fat. At Absolute Cosmetic, these treatments are performed by experienced medical practitioners using clinically established techniques to support safety-focused and measured body contouring..

We provide a comprehensive assessment to determine suitability and may also discuss alternative or complementary options, such as CoolSculpting® or body contouring procedures, depending on your anatomy, treatment area, and clinical goals.

*All treatment recommendations are made following a thorough clinical assessment, with a focus on safety, appropriateness, and realistic outcomes. Absolute Cosmetic utilises AI anatomical mapping to help identify subcutaneous fat distribution. This assists our practitioners in differentiating between adipose tissue and structural skin laxity, helping to determine if non-surgical contouring is a suitable option based on clinical mapping.

What Concerns Can Be Addressed?

Targeted Fat Reduction for Localised Areas

Fat contouring treatments are designed to reduce small, localised areas of fat that may not respond to diet or exercise. These areas are typically influenced by genetics or natural fat distribution rather than overall body weight.

The most commonly treated area is the under-chin (submental) region, where excess fat can reduce jawline definition. Treatments in this area aim to improve contour and support a balanced lower facial profile.

In some cases, the jawline and surrounding areas may be assessed for mild pockets of fullness that can soften facial contours.

Other areas of localised fat may be considered during clinical assessment. Suitability depends on individual anatomy, treatment goals, and medical history. Your practitioner will determine whether a non-surgical or surgical approach is most appropriate and provide a personalised plan.

Treatment Areas and Candidate Suitability

Ideal candidates:

  • Are close to their ideal body weight
  • Have realistic expectations regarding results
  • Are in good general health
  • Non-smokers or willing to stop smoking before treatment
  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding

Not suitable for:

  • Significant weight loss
  • Loose or sagging skin
  • Certain medical conditions
  • Those seeking immediate or large-scale results

Treatment Options For Fat Reduction

Overview

At Absolute Cosmetic, your practitioner will assess your individual needs, medical history, and desired outcomes to recommend the most appropriate treatment or combination of treatments. All options are performed under strict clinical protocols to prioritise patient care and support optimal outcomes.

Non-Surgical Fat Reduction

CoolSculpting®: A non-invasive procedure that targets and reduces fat through controlled cooling, allowing the body to gradually eliminate treated fat cells over time.

As a licensed day hospital, we are able to recommend surgical options such as VASER® liposuction when clinical assessment and AI anatomical mapping indicate that non-surgical treatments are unlikely to achieve meaningful outcomes, ensuring treatment decisions are based purely on suitability, safety, and realistic outcomes.

Surgical Fat Reduction

VASER® Liposuction:A minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses ultrasound technology to break down fat, supporting precise body contouring.

Chin and Body Liposuction: Surgical removal of localised fat deposits for patients seeking more immediate or extensive fat reduction.

What to Expect at Your Clinical Assessment

Personalised Assessment and Treatment Planning

Your clinical assessment begins with a comprehensive assessment of your treatment area, anatomy, and individual goals. Your practitioner will review your medical history and discuss the most suitable fat reduction options.

If a surgical approach, such as VASER® or traditional liposuction, is more appropriate, this will be explained. Non-surgical options, including CoolSculpting® or fat-dissolving treatments, will also be discussed based on your anatomy and objectives. A personalised treatment plan is developed to ensure safe and aim for optimal clinical outcomes.

During Your Treatment

Treatment duration varies depending on the chosen method:

  • Non-surgical procedures typically take 30–60 minutes and may involve cooling or targeted energy to reduce fat cells.
  • Surgical procedures are performed under sterile conditions in our licensed day surgery facility by a qualified doctor.

Local anaesthetic or other comfort measures may be used to minimise discomfort.

Aftercare and Recovery

Patients should contact the clinic immediately if they have any concerns.

General Risks to Consider

All cosmetic procedures, whether surgical or non-surgical, carry some degree of risk. The specific risks will depend on the type of treatment you undergo, your medical history, and your individual healing response.

Not everyone is suitable for every type of treatment. This is why a personalised clinical assessment is essential. Our experienced medical team will carefully assess your health, discuss potential risks, and outline the safety measures in place before recommending any procedure.

Possible risks may include:

  • Bruising, swelling, or discomfort in the treated area
  • Temporary redness, sensitivity, or unevenness in healing
  • Infection or delayed wound healing
  • Scarring or changes in skin texture
  • Asymmetry or results that differ from expectations
  • Reactions related to anaesthesia or sedation (for surgical procedures)
  • Rare but more serious complications, which your practitioner will discuss with you if relevant

Full risks and complications available here.

The number of treatments varies depending on the area being treated and individual response. Most patients may require 2–4 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart, but individual needs can vary.

Initial results may be visible after 4–6 weeks, with continued improvement over 2–3 months as your body naturally eliminates the treated fat cells. Individual experiences may vary.

Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort during treatment. Local anaesthetic can be used to minimise discomfort, and any soreness typically subsides shortly after the procedure. Individual experiences may vary.

Results are often long-lasting, as treated fat cells are reduced. Maintaining a stable weight through healthy diet and exercise can help preserve outcomes, but results may differ between individuals.

You should avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours and follow the aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner. Most normal activities can be resumed immediately.

Ideal candidates are close to their target body weight, in good general health, and have realistic expectations. These treatments are not suitable for individuals seeking large-scale weight loss or those with certain medical conditions.

Common areas include the under-chin region, jawline, upper arms, abdomen, thighs, love handles, and bra line. Suitability depends on individual anatomy and treatment goals.

As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects, including swelling, bruising, tenderness, or temporary redness. More serious complications are rare. Your practitioner will review all potential risks during the clinical assessment.
