...."Dr. Michael Edwards, president of the Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, said not everyone is a good candidate for the drug.

He told NBC News he worries that, after ATX-101 is approved, people will use the drug to try and fix larger areas of fat.

But according to Weinkle, the drug is 'not a weight loss treatment' and needs to be administered properly so that patients get a 'very even reduction of fat.'

She warns that physicians must 'understand the anatomy' of the area underneath the chin, which houses delicate nerves that should not be touched.

Edward recommends patients only receive the procedure from trained 'board certified experts'.

ATX-101 has been tested in 19 clinical studies with 2,600 patients.

It will not be covered by insurance and the approximate cost is not yet known. "
