Sio Clinic's Clean-Cut Fat Dissolving Injection - Why Ultrasound Analysis is Crucial

For fat dissolving injections,

before injecting well,

seeing clearly is more important.

​

Hello, this is Sio Clinic.

Many people consider fat dissolving injections for double chins or facial contouring.

​

However, in reality, the process of accurately identifying what the problem is is more important than just reducing fat.

Even if it looks like a double chin,

the cause varies from person to person.

* In cases of excess fat

* In cases of sagging due to loss of skin elasticity

* In cases of developed submandibular glands

* In cases of large jaw muscles

* In cases of skeletal issues

​

Even if they look similar on the surface, the treatment methods are completely different.

That is why at Sio Clinic,

before the Clean-Cut fat dissolving procedure,

we prioritize ultrasound diagnosis.

Not all double chins are caused by fat.

Patients often say, "I want to remove the fat from my double chin," but when we perform an actual ultrasound, it is not uncommon to find that sagging is a bigger cause than fat.

​

If loss of skin elasticity is the main problem, lifting may be a priority over fat reduction.

​

Conversely, if the fat layer is thick and heavy, causing sagging, fat reduction can be helpful.

The important thing is not to just remove fat, but to accurately find the cause.

What do we check with ultrasound?

1. Thickness of the fat layer

​

We check the actual thickness of the fat in millimeters.

​

* Is there enough fat present?

* Is there any difference between the left and right sides?

* At what depth is the fat located?

* Is it fat that can be reduced?

​

You cannot know the exact measurements through palpation alone.

We must check the actual fat layer through ultrasound to target the areas where the fat truly exists.

​

2. State and density of the fat

​

Not all fat is the same.

There is fat that is clumped and firm, and there is fat where the medication spreads relatively well.

​

In some cases, it is difficult to see the expected results with fat dissolving injections alone.

Identifying these aspects in advance can reduce unnecessary repeat procedures.

​

3. Skin elasticity

In fact, the goal of fat dissolving injections is not just to remove fat.

The goal is to create a good contour.

Even if the fat is reduced, it is difficult to achieve the desired results if the skin does not follow.

​

Therefore, through ultrasound,

​

* Skin thickness

* Remaining elasticity

* Relationship between the fat layer and the skin

* Potential for skin contraction after the procedure, etc., are checked together.

It is not about reducing fat,

but about improving the contour.

​

Facial contour is not determined solely by the amount of fat.

​

Skin elasticity, the position of the fat layer, the degree of muscle development, and the state of tissue sagging all have an impact.

Therefore, repeatedly getting fat dissolving injections when there is not much fat may not be a good solution.

​

If sagging is the cause, you should treat the sagging; if muscles are the cause, you should treat the muscles; and you should only reduce fat when fat is the cause.

Why Sio Clinic uses ultrasound analysis

​

Ultrasound diagnosis is not a process to perform more procedures.

It is closer to a process to reduce unnecessary procedures.

​

We use ultrasound to avoid recommending repeated fat dissolving injections for areas without much fat, to suggest lifting before fat dissolution if sagging is the problem, and to confirm what treatment the patient truly needs.

​

I also value palpation and tend to trust my own hands.

​

​

However, for more accurate judgment, objective data is needed rather than just the sensation of the hands.

That is why Sio Clinic checks with ultrasound before fat dissolving injections.

​

Because while performing the procedure well is important, seeing exactly what needs to be treated is even more important.

​

​

*Currently, there are many inquiries about Clean-Cut, so reservations are filling up quickly.

​

Clean-Cut is not just a procedure

of injecting.

​

To accurately check each person's fat layer

and the areas of concern,

and to custom-design only the necessary

areas through ultrasound diagnosis,

we limit the number of daily reservations.

​

If you make a reservation in advance, we will provide a consultation and help you with a more satisfying procedure sequentially.

Thank you.
