Get Rid of That Double Chin With Kybella®!
What makes a slender neck so desirable? It perfectly frames appealing facial features and beauty. The elegance of a sleek neck seamlessly transitions the face into the upper body, delivering a flawless facial profile.
But with age comes submental fat to create the appearance of a double chin. This facial flaw makes a person look older and overweight. While surgical corrections like liposuction or a neck lift are cosmetic options, Kybella® is a non-surgical injectable that delivers astonishing results.
What Is Kybella®?
Kybella® is a groundbreaking, nonsurgical treatment designed to reduce submental fullness, also known as a double chin.
It is an FDA-approved injectable product to contour the jawline and improve the definition between the chin and neck. Kybella® consists of a naturally occurring solution of deoxycholic acid injected beneath the skin. This component breaks down fatty tissue, allowing the sagging skin to retract into a taut position.
What About Weight Loss Instead?
Some people exercise diligently and maintain a healthy body weight, but still struggle with a double chin and skin laxity on their neck and jawline. Some people are genetically predisposed to develop submental fat, which tends to resist diet and exercise. If double chins run in your family, you’re likely to develop one, too.
Who Are Good Candidates for Kybella®?
Healthy men and women over 18 with unwelcome fat under their chins are ideal candidates for Kybella®.
Women who are pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant should not consider Kybella®. Patients with an infection or medical condition near the injection site are probably also not good candidates.
How Does Kybella® Double Chin Reduction Work?
Kybella® employs a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which the human body produces naturally to absorb dietary fat. When we introduce this product via injection, Kybella® goes to work dissolving submental fat. Once injected, Kybella® destroys the fat cells, leaving them unable to store fat. This gradual process includes the body metabolizing these cells over several weeks.
How Kybella® Sessions Are Necessary to Reduce a Double Chin?
The answer to this question depends entirely on the person. Typically, multiple treatments are necessary to completely eliminate submental fat deposits. Dr. Donofrio recommends patients space the treatments out at least one month apart. Most people require a series of six treatments.
Are the Results From Kybella® Permanent?
Fat cells destroyed by Kybella® injections are gone forever and will never come back. However, if you gain significant weight, your double chin may return. When you combine this treatment with a healthy lifestyle, you can expect long-lasting benefits.
