Injection lipolysis is a cosmetic procedure where fat is dissolved using medications. When drug is injected, it breaks down unwanted fat in a process called emulsification. Our bodies remove emulsified fat through metabolic pathways. The drug injections we use contain deoxycholic acid also known as deoxycholate. The naturally occurring substance found its way into aesthetic medicine when treatment benefits were seen during intravenous therapy for fat embolism.
