I DISSOLVED MY FACIAL FAT - AN INTRO TO LEMONBOTTLE

[Kaz]

@pneumocystosis Crazy Good Thread


So in the end would you have gone with a different fat dissolver other then LemonBottle, as I saw a comment saying if you were to do it differently you would have chosen Kybella/Aqualyx, any reason to why?

What do you think is the maximum amount someone with more of a fat pad could inject 3-4mL into each cheek ????

You are legit a chad brah. You shouldn't have bdd you should just socialize. If you're not slaying with that face and youre not a turbomanlet then ur just non nt

The main risk with self injecting comes from vascular occlusion, but you'd have to be extremely unlucky for it to happen and I've never heard of it happening with fat dissolvers, only thicker material like fillers. Just aspirate and there's practically no risk

Have u noticed extra bloat from even moderate weight gain. Seems that even barely gaining any bf bloated harder

 

[maxxmclooks]

Appreciate it, what do u mean by that?

Also would you recommend getting a friend etc to pin it for you? Would it be easier to hit the target areas more accurately?

check your dms man

Best thread I've seen in a minute on this forum. Mirin' the knowledge and lowinhibness to follow thru. Definitely need to try this for myself, feeling like I have to pee constantly while on Furosemide is not peak.

Do you think you benefited more from injecting the outside or the inside targetting the buccal fat pads?

Injecting from the inside is safer

i wanna do this but im so scared to hit a nerve can you elaborate about where to inject an how to find the buffalo fat pad

I am pretty much softmaxxed. The only things holding me back from being in my prime are occasional acne, and stubborn fat pads that stop me from having hollow cheeks at all times.

​

I would often take high doses of furosemide to get hollow cheeks within minutes, but furosemide would also rid my eye area of its water, so I'd sometimes get awful UEE.

The solution was simple: getting rid of some of my subcutaneous facial fat would allow me to maintain hollow cheeks at all times.

However, in ridding my face of its fat, my main concern was premature aging. Facial fat removal makes your face age poorly too, when done incorrectly. Obviously i did not want that. I therefore had to stay conservative with the fat I would remove.

In order to mimic buccal fat pad removal I would target my buccal fat pad with fat dissolver.
Indeed, removing/dissolving buccal fat pads is completely fine, since, unlike what you may think, buccal fat pads get larger as we age (source).
I would never argue that buccal fat pad removal makes one look younger, but it definetly does not make one look older.


Let's have a look at the way facial fat distribution changes as we age.
Here is Emmanuel Macron:

The red crosses are where he has lost facial fat.
The blue crosses are where he gained fat.
Emmanuel has lost weight since his younger years, so this is not the best comparison. However, this pattern applies to most people.

People lose facial fat in the upper part of the face (i.e. cheeks, temples, eye area), and gain facial fat in the lower part of the face (buccal area, jowls, neck).


Keep in mind, the buccal fat pad is lower than what you'd expect:

Takeaway: To maintain youthfulness and to prevent your face from aging poorly, you want to dissolve fat ONLY IN the lower part of the face.

Before I start talking about the procedure, I would like to credit and thank @Kristin who also recently did this procedure and saved my ass from going blind, and taught me quite a bit about H******* P*** (read further to find out ).



Now to the procedure itself:


There is a new fat dissolver to the market, called LemonBottle.

View attachment 2759676

LemonBottle has become really popular in recent months because of different reasons:

- Its ingredients: Riboflavin, Lecithin, and Bromelain, are from natural origins.
- There is no swelling post-op, compared to other fat dissolvers.
- Instant to 48-hour results, where as other fat dissolvers take upto a few weeks to show results.
- More effective than other fat dissolvers. People who opt for LemonBottle need less sessions than those who opt for Aqualyx, Kybella, etc.

Tbh I don't give a fuck whether it's natural or not, I just want instant and visible results.



How it works:

Riboflavin, or Vitamin B2, is key for energy production and enhances the body's fat metabolism, aiding in the breakdown and removal of fat cells. Lecithin acts as an emulsifier, disrupting fat cell membranes to make fats more processable by the body. Meanwhile, Bromelain, sourced from pineapple stems, has anti-inflammatory benefits and supports the elimination of fat cells.*

Now back to me:


As you (hopefully) know, the face is full of nerves and blood vessels, that you must not damage. You can paralyse your face, or a part of it, if a syringe needle were to pierce through them. You can even go blind if you are not careful.

As you can see above, the injection sites for our fat dissolver (circled in red) include 3 branches of the facial nerve we MUST avoid at all costs.

To limit possible nerve damage, I wanted to avoid using needles on my face. So instead of needles, I opted for a Hyaluron Pen.

View attachment 2759751


A Hyaluron Pen is essentially a needleless syringe. It uses compressed air to push the product (often fat dissolver or HA filler) through the skin barrier.
You can read about all the *supposed* advantages of Hyaluron Pens, but at the end of the day, they are not FDA-approved, so be careful.

I will not be giving the link to the Hyaluron Pen I bought. However, my advice is to not cheap out when buying one.
You will also see later in this thread that Hyaluron Pens and LemonBottle don't work great together.



The procedure:

I started by applying some Lidocaine on my cheeks to numb them (which did not work at all) and I was off!

Here is a quick video of my messy setup:

Spoiler: Setup

And here is what I looked like before starting the procedure:

Spoiler: Face pre-op

I am aware that I had very little facial fat before, but:

The beginning of the procedure was rough. I kept missing my shots with the Hyaluron Pen. They would not penetrate the skin, so the fat dissolver was simply being wasted.

After a few attempts, I got my first semi-successful shot!
You can tell a shot is successful when there is a small hole in your skin and blood pours out.

In this case, blood poured out, but you can also see the LemonBottle dripping down my cheek, meaning it did not (fully) enter my skin.

Spoiler: semi-success

I kept trying with the Hyaluron Pen, but it was failure after failure; the product refused to enter my skin, although I pinched my skin and held the pen at 90°, like one should.
I had wasted about 1ml of LemonBottle before I decided to screw the Hyaluron Pen and go low-inhib by simply using an insulin syringe .

Shit was kinda scary cus I could have paralysed myself at any moment if I wasn't careful .

I also failed a few times:

Spoiler: failure

But in total I injected about 6ml of LemonBottle in my face.
Here's a quick montage, TURN YO VOLUME UP:
@Seth Walsh @dragomaxxer

Spoiler: injection compilation

As you saw, I had no strict injection areas, with no strict dose.
I have so little fat that I just injected approximately, with varying doses, depending on how much unwanted fat there was in the specific area.
I also binge ate a 500g bag of Takis Blue Heat before this, so forgive the bloat and blue lips.
Please do not comment on how subhuman I look, my BDD is already bad atm, so you should be grateful I'm posting these vids in the first place.


Here is how unlicensed aestheticians perform the procedure:




You're obviously very unlikely likely to hit a nerve when you're injecting needles in someone as chubby as that woman. No aesthetician would take me as fat-dissolving patient, because of the high risk of nerve-damage .

You guys are on a looksmaxxing forum, so I assume you are as lean as me, or maybe even more, so DIY is the way!


...


After injecting in most parts of my lower-face, there still was one area I really wanted to slim down.

That area was the tip of my nose; don't we all wish for a slimmer nose tip?

Some of you have figured that topical corticosteroids, bimatoprost, and even tretinoin have the ability to slim the nose tip.
This is likely because they burn the subcutaneous fat in the nose.

So of course I tried injecting LemonBottle in my nose:

Spoiler: injecting in nose

It was painful as fuck though, I'll be honest .




Results?

Yes. But.

I did not get any IMMEDIATE results, like many claim to get. This is no-doubt because of my extremely low facial fat.
After 2 days of no apparent results, I decided to use more of the remaining LemonBottle I had, and to inject it straight into my buccal fat pads.
By this, I mean injecting from inside my mouth.

When surgeons perform buccal fat pad removal, they always do it from inside the mouth:

from here.

Not only is this to avoid leaving an externally visible scar, but it is mostly to avoid nerve damage since the buccal branch of the facial nerve is superficial to the buccal fat pad. This way, surgeons get direct access to the fat pad, without having to worry about hitting nerves.


With this in mind, I injected LemonBottle below the Stenson Duct, which is adjacent to your second molar.

View attachment 2759897


Go to the Technique or Treatment section of this article for the instructions I followed.


I injected approx 1ml of LemonBottle in each buccal fat pad, which is A LOT.

I therefore expect them to shrink substantially over the course of the next few weeks.

...

I am currently writing this 1 week after the initial procedure.
The results are noticeable to me, and they were noticeable to my mom on FaceTime.
What I like the most, is that even when I overload on sodium (i.e. I get bloated), I still seem very lean.
It feels like I am now immune to facial bloat.


Furthermore, when I now take furosemide, I look like a 60 year old lifelong coke addict. Shit is so scary that I don't wanna take a picture .

I have no clear "results" picture, because 1) you probably would not notice the results, and 2) my skin is really fucked up because of those needles and I don't wanna take pics at the moment.

However, here is what I looked like, after eating McDonald's (sodium bloat) and at the club (alcohol bloat) 2 days ago.



Forgive the low quality. I was not cheek sucking, just clenching masseters.


What about my nose?
It definitely lost some bulbosity, but the difference is subtle. Once again, I need to wait a few weeks to see the true results.
I'm not expecting anything crazy though, since the fatty tissue in the nose is quite minimal...



All in all, I spent around £200 on this procedure.

I believe that you will benefit from this more than I did.

Although my results are for now minimal, I am glad I did it.


One thing I insist on, is that you ensure you are injecting safely.
This is not like pinning MT2 in your stomach or Test-E in your thigh, you are risking facial paralysis and going blind here!


Now that I have a Hyaluron Pen, I will very likely start self-injecting filler soon . Expect a thread on that within a few weeks.


Once again, a huge thanks to @Kristin for saving my life and for teaching me quite a bit about the Hyaluron Pen.

pneumo fixing his BDD

I should say that you have nerves that have a fatty myelin sheath which get demyelinated upon injection of something like kybella. Did you feel any nerve related changes after? I am curious to see someone with more substantial facial fat trying this.
