Our experience treating a double chin and excess fat pockets
Ageing, genetics and weight gain can contribute to the development of stubborn fat pockets in areas like the submental region (double chin), bra line, upper arms (batwing arms) and abdomen (muffin tops). These deposits can disrupt natural body contours, creating an uneven silhouette that can be unflattering. Patients often struggle to conceal these areas, particularly in fitted clothing or on camera, which can lead to frustration and diminished self-confidence.
Sharing his techniques and results with other doctors and nurses, Dr. Scott Allison attends domestic and international conferences, passionate about achieving exceptional results. Our team at Ascension are trained by Dr. Allison, using effective, patient-tailored techniques to maintain a high level of care.
“With today’s advanced non-invasive treatments, I’m able to deliver results comparable to submental liposuction, effectively reducing stubborn fat pockets that don’t respond to diet or exercise without the risks, downtime, or recovery of surgery.” – Dr. Scott Allison

Areas of concern /
Multiple factors can contribute to the development of fat pockets, and it is crucial for your Practitioner to thoroughly evaluate underlying causes to determine the most suitable treatment for you. During your consultation, we work with you to understand your anatomy and unique aesthetic needs and goals. A personalised treatment plan will then be developed to address submental fat concerns.
Double chin
By naturally eliminating the submental fat under the jawline, the face appears more defined or ‘snatched’, which is the primary concern for those wishing to minimise the visibility of a double chin
Bra line
Fat pockets along the bra line can create bulges that disrupt a smooth silhouette, even under well-fitted clothing. By addressing these deposits, patients can achieve a more contoured appearance.
Upper arms
Excess fat in the upper arms, commonly referred to as “batwing arms,” can be challenging to address through exercise alone. Reducing fat in this area can restore a firmer, more sculpted look.
Waistline
Fat accumulation around the waistline, often referred to as a “muffin top,” can spill over the waistband, affecting how clothing fits and feels. Targeting these stubborn fat pockets can enhance comfort in your everyday wardrobe.

At Ascension, we provide comprehensive cosmetic consultations where your comfort, aesthetic preferences, facial anatomy and skin health are all considered to provide an ideal treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Your consultation at our Brisbane clinic
During your initial consultation, various aspects will be discussed to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the procedure and your specific needs. The consultation allows us to discuss expectations openly and create a treatment plan you can approve.
Firstly, your cosmetic concerns and treatment goals will be discussed. We will listen attentively to gain insight into what you hope to achieve through treating your under-eye concerns. This discussion allows us to explain what can be realistically achieved.
Next, we will thoroughly examine your facial features, asking about the areas of your face where you have concerns regarding darkness and hollowing. We will carefully evaluate your facial anatomy, taking note of bone structure, fat pads and skin laxity. This assessment helps us to determine the appropriate treatment plan required. We may also inquire about any allergies or previous cosmetic treatments. This information is crucial for determining your eligibility for the procedure.
The consultation will also involve a discussion about the procedure itself, including the recommended treatments, the expected duration of the results, and any potential risks or side effects. We can explain the technique involved, ensuring you understand the process and know what to expect during and after the treatment.
Finally, the financial aspect will be discussed. We will provide information about the cost of the treatment, any potential additional expenses, and the expected longevity of the results. We can also discuss the option of follow-up treatments and maintenance. Your treatment costs will depend on the personalised details of your procedure, so it is best to wait until having your consultation before making calculations.
Clinical PathwaysAnd Recommendations
Recommended treatments
At Ascension, we provide comprehensive cosmetic consultations, where your comfort, aesthetic preferences, facial anatomy and skin health are all considered to provide an ideal treatment plan tailored to your needs. You may benefit from a combination approach utilising different treatment methods and a number of sessions, which we will discuss during your consultation.
WonderFace
WonderFace is a groundbreaking, non-invasive facial toning and rejuvenation treatment that lifts, sculpts and smooths the face in just 30 minutes.As the only treatment to synchronise neuromuscular stimulation with radiofrequency (RF) technology, WonderFace works beyond the surface, targeting both the skin and underlying muscles for real, lasting results. Neuromuscular stimulation strengthens and tones facial muscles, enhancing definition and restoring volume, while RF technology boosts collagen and elastin production to firm and tighten the skin.
Ultraformer MPT
Using the latest in high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology, the Ultraformer MPT contributes to facial lifting, skin tightening and facial contouring. It’s a versatile non-invasive procedure that can use ultrasound waves to target and breakdown fat cells in the chin area, while also promoting the production of collagen to tighten the skin.
Depending on the amount of submental fat and skin laxity, 2 – 3 sessions of Ultraformer MPT are usually recommended to reduce the visibility of a double chin. Results can continue to be seen up to six months after the treatment, however you may benefit from maintenance sessions as time goes on.
Body contouring
TruSculpt® treatments can be focused on various areas of the body including the face and neck to reduce small fat pockets and tighten the skin.
Trusculpt® iD uses heat to permanently eliminate fat cells in a targeted area. This often only requires one 15 – 30 minute session to achieve a long lasting effect under the chin area. Should more sessions be required then this will be discussed during your consultation.
Morpheus8
Morpheus8 RF Needling combines radio-frequency (RF) technology with microneedling, stimulating the body’s healing response, to increase collagen and elastin production. More collagen and elastin can help to reduce the appearance of skin laxity.
Multiple treatment sessions of Morpheus8 can work best to reduce the appearance of sagging skin. Downtime is minimal, with some redness and discomfort that should subside shortly after your treatment. Your results will appear over time, as the skin produces more collagen and elastin.
FaceTite
Facetite is an innovative alternative to a traditional facelift. It can treat the lower facial areas with radiofrequency assisted liposuction (RFAL), using a few small incisions. The radiofrequency waves will melt the targeted fat cells, before they are gently suctioned out with a small cannula. Facetite also helps to stimulate collagen production, which supports the treated skin to tighten after the treatment, contouring the area.
