Stubborn fat that resists diet and exercise doesn't always require surgery. At Zeal Plastic Surgery Clinic, we offer non-surgical body fat dissolving injections to target localized fat in areas like the abdomen, love handles, arms, thighs, and back. These injectable treatments help break down and flush out fat cells gradually—leaving you with smoother contours and a more refined silhouette.
Body fat dissolvers are injectable treatments that break down fat cells in targeted areas. Once destroyed, the fat is naturally eliminated by the body’s metabolic processes over several weeks.
What Body Fat Dissolvers can improve:
Lower abdominal bulge
Love handles
Upper back or “bra rolls”
Inner or outer thighs
Upper arms (bat wings)
Knees or banana rolls (under buttocks)
Post-liposuction unevenness
You may be a good candidate if you:
Have localized fat deposits that don’t respond to diet or exercise
Are near your ideal body weight
Want to avoid surgery, anesthesia, and downtime
Have firm, elastic skin in the treatment area
Are in good health and have realistic expectations

Yes. Once fat cells are destroyed, they don’t return—but remaining fat cells can still grow if weight increases, so maintaining a stable weight is important.
Fat dissolvers do not tighten skin. However, we often combine them with Forma or Morpheus8 to prevent sagging and improve tone.
