Tired of that double chin that won’t go away no matter how much you exercise? Been dieting for months but still have that belly pouch? Are you annoyed by love handles that spill over your jeans?
Fat melting injections can fix all of these problems. But the main question remains: how much will this cost me?
Let me break it down. No hidden costs. No complicated doctor language. Just real prices for real people in Jeddah.
Quick facts:
- Cost: 400 SAR – 2,500 SAR per session (depends on area size)
- Results: Starts showing in 2–4 weeks
- Back to work: Same day for most people
- Type of procedure: Non-surgical (just tiny injections)
- Duration of procedure: 15-45 minutes
What Are Fat Melting Injections?
Fat melting injections (also called lipolysis injections or Kybella) use a substance called deoxycholic acid. This acid naturally breaks down fat cells when injected directly into stubborn fat. Your body then flushes those dead fat cells out over time. The fat cells are gone forever—they don’t come back.
Think of it like dissolving the fat instead of freezing it (CoolSculpting) or sucking it out (liposuction).

Double Chin Fat Melting Cost Breakdown
This is the most popular fat melting treatment. Here’s what you’ll actually pay.
| Area | Cost per Session (SAR) | Sessions Needed | Total Cost (SAR) |
| Mild double chin | 600 – 800 | 2-3 | 1,200 – 2,400 |
| Moderate double chin | 800 – 1,000 | 3-4 | 2,400 – 4,000 |
| Severe double chin | 1,000 – 1,200 | 4-5 | 4,000 – 6,000 |
Most people need 2 to 4 sessions for their double chin. Total cost usually lands between 1,800 SAR and 4,500 SAR.
Belly Fat Melting Cost Breakdown
Belly fat is the second most popular treatment. Here’s the real cost.
| Area | Cost per Session (SAR) | Sessions Needed | Total Cost (SAR) |
| Small lower belly pouch | 800 – 1,200 | 2-3 | 1,600 – 3,600 |
| Moderate belly fat | 1,200 – 1,600 | 3-4 | 3,600 – 6,400 |
| Full lower belly + flanks | 1,500 – 2,000 | 3-5 | 4,500 – 10,000 |
Love Handles Cost Breakdown
| Area | Cost per Session (SAR) | Sessions Needed | Total Cost (SAR) |
| Small love handles | 800 – 1,200 | 2-3 | 1,600 – 3,600 |
| Medium love handles | 1,000 – 1,500 | 3-4 | 3,000 – 6,000 |
| Large love handles | 1,200 – 1,800 | 4-5 | 4,800 – 9,000 |
Package Pricing (Cheaper Than Single Sessions)
| Package | Price Range (SAR) | Savings |
| Single session | 400 – 2,500 | – |
| 2-session package | 700 – 4,500 | Save 5-10% |
| 3-session package | 1,000 – 6,500 | Save 10-15% |
| 4-session package | 1,300 – 8,500 | Save 15-20% |
So if a single session costs 1,000 SAR, a 3-session package might cost 2,600 SAR instead of 3,000 SAR. That’s 400 SAR saved.
Factors Affecting the Cost:
Here’s why prices vary so much between clinics.
1. Size of the treatment area
Larger areas cost more. A full belly costs more than a double chin. Simple.
| Area Size | Cost Impact |
| Very small (chin, knees) | 400 – 800 SAR |
| Small (arms, bra bulge) | 700 – 1,300 SAR |
| Medium (love handles, inner thighs) | 800 – 1,600 SAR |
| Large (full belly, outer thighs) | 1,200 – 2,000 SAR |
| Extra large (full abdomen + flanks) | 1,800 – 2,500 SAR |
2. Amount of fat you have
More fat means more injections and it will charge higher cost. Someone with a small double chin pays less than someone with a large, thick double chin.
-
Number of sessions needed
Most areas need 2-4 sessions. Some stubborn fat needs 5-6 sessions. More sessions = higher total cost.
4. Type of fat melting solution used
| Solution Type | Cost Impact |
| Basic deoxycholic acid | Moderate |
| Premium formula (with vitamins) | Higher |
| Lipolysis + skin tightening combo | Highest |
5. Experience of the practitioner:
Board-certified dermatologists and cosmetic doctors charge more than nurses or aestheticians because they have years of medical training and know exactly how to inject safely.
-
Location of the clinic
Clinics in premium areas of Jeddah charge higher prices than those in suburban locations.
| City Area | Cost Impact |
| North Jeddah (premium) | Baseline +15-25% |
| Central Jeddah | Baseline |
| South Jeddah | Baseline -10-20% |
7. Whether you combine with other treatments
Adding skin tightening laser or radiofrequency after your injections will increase the price but can give better results.
Is Fat Melting Injection Worth the Cost?
Here’s my honest answer.
For double chin? Yes. Nothing else works as well for that stubborn chin fat. No amount of exercise or dieting will get rid of it. Injections will.
For belly fat? Yes, if it’s a small pocket of fat that won’t leave. But if you have a lot of belly fat overall, liposuction or CoolSculpting might be better. Ask Dr. Asma.
For love handles? Yes. Same story. Works great for small to medium pockets.
Compare it to other options:
| Treatment | Cost (for double chin) | Downtime | Results |
| Surgery (liposuction) | 8,000 – 15,000 SAR | 1-2 weeks | Permanent |
| CoolSculpting | 3,000 – 6,000 SAR | None | Permanent |
| Fat melting injections | 1,800 – 4,500 SAR | 1-3 days swelling | Permanent |
| Exercise/diet | Free but doesn’t work | None | Won’t remove chin fat |
Fat melting injections are the middle ground. Cheaper than surgery. More effective than diet for stubborn spots.
What Actually Happens During a Session?
Step 1 – Numbing: Numbing cream is applied to the area for 15-20 minutes. Some clinics also inject a local anesthetic.
Step 2 – Marking: The doctor marks small dots where the injections will go.
Step 3 – Injections: The doctor gives multiple tiny injections into the fat. This takes 15-30 minutes depending on area size.
Step 4 – Massage (maybe): The area may be gently massaged to spread the solution evenly.
Step 5 – Ice pack: An ice pack is applied to reduce swelling.
Step 6 – Go home: No bandages. No downtime. You go back to normal life.
Side Effects and Recovery
Most people have swelling for a few days. Here’s what to expect:
| Side Effect | How long it lasts |
| Swelling | 3-10 days |
| Redness | 1-3 days |
| Bruising | 3-7 days |
| Tenderness | 3-7 days |
| Numbness | 1-4 weeks (rare) |
| Hard lumps | 2-6 weeks (normal, they go away) |
For double chin: The swelling can make you look like a frog for 3-5 days. Plan to work from home or wear scarves.
For belly: Swelling is less noticeable because clothes hide it.
Before and After Tips
Before treatment:
- Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen) for 1 week
