Kybella
Say “adieu” to the double chin.
A double chin is a common concern for many people, even if they are otherwise in good shape. Kybella can permanently eliminate your double chin without the need for surgery!
What is Kybella?
Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment for fat reduction. More specifically, Kybella is used to treat submental fat beneath the chin (double chin). Kybella uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that absorbs dietary fat in the stomach. When injected into areas of unwanted fat, the fat cells release their content and are permanently destroyed so that they can no longer store fat. The excess fat released from the treated cells will be naturally flushed from the body, resulting in a smoother chin and sharper jawline.
Who is a Candidate for Kybella?
Most men and women who are bothered by their double chin can benefit from Kybella treatments. At your consultation, we will ask about your medical history to make sure you do not have any allergies or a history of bleeding problems that could increase the risk of complications.
Women who are currently pregnant should also wait to receive treatment.
Kybella patients can improve the following concerns:
Moderate to severe submental fat
Receding chin
Weak jawline
At your consultation, we will discuss your treatment goals in more detail and examine your chin to make you receive natural-looking results that are proportionate to the rest of your facial features.
The Kybella Procedure
Kybella injections are performed in our comfortable office space and administered by our nurse practitioner or certified injector. On the day of the treatment, the area will be cleansed and an ice pack applied to minimize discomfort. A series of small injections of Kybella will placed into the area beneath the chin. The number of injections depends on the size of the area being treated. Swelling, redness and bruising are common after treatment and will last several days. Multiple sessions of Kybella are typically required to reach the desired effect.
Kybella Results
After Kybella treatment, mild swelling and bruising around the injection site may occur but will subside in less than one week. For a few days after treatment, avoid sun exposure and strenuous activities to minimize swelling and speed up your recovery. Multiple treatments may be needed for optimal results. Treated fat cells will slowly dissolve from the chin and complete results will develop within 4 months.
