Injectable solution that dissolves localized fat deposits in body areas. Different from Kybella (chin-only) — used on flanks, inner thighs, knees, banana rolls, and other small areas.
What to expect
Typical milestones for an aesthetic-procedure patient. Your surgeon will personalise the plan during your consultation.
Before surgery
Consultation
Surgeon reviews your photos + the simulator preview, sets realistic expectations, and books the procedure date.
Day 0
Procedure
In-clinic procedure under local or general anaesthetic. Most patients go home the same day.
Days 1–7
Early recovery
Swelling and bruising peak around day 3 then start to subside. Most patients work from home this week.
Weeks 2–6
Settling in
Visible swelling resolves; you can return to social commitments + light exercise. Final shape still emerging.
Months 6–12
Final result
Tissues fully settle and the simulated outcome becomes your real face. Follow-up review with your surgeon.

Aqualyx (sodium deoxycholate) and similar products like Lemonbottle, Kabelline, and various local formulations are fat-dissolving injectables used on body areas where the FDA-approved Kybella is not indicated. The mechanism is similar — bile-salt-derived compounds destroy fat-cell membranes, leading to gradual elimination through the lymphatic system — but body applications are off-label and use larger volumes per session.
Common treatment areas include flanks ("love handles"), inner thighs, knees, banana rolls (under buttocks), back rolls, upper arms, and bra fat. Each session uses 5-10 vials typically distributed across multiple injection points. Most patients require 2-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Significant swelling and bruising are expected for 5-7 days post-injection. Results appear gradually over 6-8 weeks. Patient selection is critical — these treatments are NOT for weight loss or large-volume reduction; they're for stubborn small fat pockets in patients otherwise close to their target weight.
Patients near their target weight with small, stubborn fat pockets in body areas where Kybella isn't approved (flanks, thighs, knees, etc.).
Recovery Time
5-7 days (swelling/bruising)
Procedure Duration
20-45 minutes per session
Typical Cost Range
$300 – $1,200
