PCDC
PCDC injectable fat reduction for a stubborn double chin when diet and time have not changed the profile.
Overview
What is PCDC?
PCDC is an injectable fat-reduction treatment using phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid for submental fullness — a double chin that can persist at a healthy weight.
It disrupts fat cells in the mapped area so the body can clear them over subsequent weeks. It is not a substitute for weight loss or for surgical neck lifting when laxity is the main issue.
Why patients choose it
Key benefits
- Non-surgical refinement of the profile
- No general anesthesia or incisions
- Results that build across a series of sessions
- Can complement jawline filler or neuromodulator slimming when the plan calls for it
Treatment details
Areas & what to expect
Treatable areas
The submental area (under the chin). Other small fat pockets are discussed only when they are medically appropriate.
Your visit
After marking the grid, a series of small injections is placed under the chin. Swelling is expected — often more than patients anticipate — and can last one to two weeks, especially after the first session.
Most people need more than one visit. We space treatments and reassess the profile before adding more.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about this treatment — your provider will cover anything specific to you at consultation.
How is PCDC different from Kybella?
Kybella is branded deoxycholic acid. PCDC is a phosphatidylcholine / deoxycholic acid protocol we use when that approach fits. Swelling and session count are still real.
How swollen will I be?
Often more than you expect, especially after the first session. Plan social downtime.
Is this weight loss?
No. It is a small pocket under the chin. Diet and systemic weight are a different conversation.
