If you are getting older or have gained a significant amount of weight, you may have noticed a gradual accumulation of fat under your chin. Commonly known as a double chin, this unwelcome development can really have a negative impact on your facial contours. If you are dealing with this problem and want to address it without surgery, a minimally-invasive treatment option for double chins is available. Kybella® has helped many people enhance the contours of their chin by removing fat under the chin with a series of injections.

What is Kybella®?

Approved by the FDA in 2015, Kybella® has become extremely popular as a non-surgical treatment option for the removal of a double chin. A growing number of people are using it as a safe alternative to conventional liposuction for this area that is notoriously difficult to treat.

How Does It Work?

Kybella® contains something called deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring substance produced by the body. An injection of the product leads to the destruction of fat cells. After the fat cells under your chin have been destroyed, your body will naturally and safely remove them over time.

Who is a Good Candidate?

We can determine if Kybella® is right for you during your initial consultation. We have found that the best patients are those who are at a healthy weight but dealing with stubborn fat under the their chin that is unresponsive to diet and exercise.

What to Expect

A Kybella® treatment is pretty simple. After we decide that you would make a good candidate for the procedure, we can skillfully inject the product into the treatment area. You may notice results from your treatment within just a couple of weeks, but most patients take a little bit longer to achieve the full results of a Kybella® treatment.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people out there who feel dissatisfied with the appearance of their lower face due to the presence of a double chin. A common misconception about a double chin is that only people who are overweight have one. However, this is not the case. A person can be at a healthy weight and still deal with this unwanted condition. If you are like most people, you might think a surgical procedure like liposuction is a bit too extreme for something as simple as a double chin. If you are in this situation, Kybella® may be right for you.

Kybella® is one of the most effective ways to eliminate your double chin. It involves injecting a solution into the area right under the chin. When the solution is skillfully injected, it will start to kill the fat that is located in the area. In the months following your treatment, you are going to see that your double chin almost completely disappears.

Gone are the days when a person has to deal with a part of their appearance that they do not like. If a person in the past had a double chin or jowls, they really couldn’t do much about it. They could try to maintain a healthy skin care routine and lose weight, but if these two things did not improve their appearance, they just had to live with that flaw. Nowadays, things are a lot different. You can completely change your look thanks to amazing products like Kybella® and other cosmetic treatments that are available at our office.

While each individual is different, most people are able to see satisfying results after several months. You are likely going to need to visit our office at least a few times in order to get the injections. It takes time for the treatment to kill the fat in the area, but since the results are gradual, they appear natural.
