What is Kybella® and how does it work?
Kybella® is an injectable medication using an ingredient called deoxycholic acid, a molecule in our bodies that breaks down dietary fat and is naturally occurring. When this medication is injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella® works at destroying fat cells, resulting in a dramatic reduction in the submental fullness–the medical term for a double chin. Kybella® treatments are typically given in a series of injections over the course of several weeks or months.
What are the benefits of Kybella®?
Kybella® offers a number of benefits for those looking to improve the appearance of their double chin, including:
- Non-surgical. Kybella® is a non-surgical alternative to traditional liposuction procedures.
- Minimally invasive. Kybella® injections are minimally invasive and well-tolerated by our patients.
- Long-lasting. Kybella® destroys fat cells which are then flushed through the lymphatic system for long-lasting results.
- Affordable. Injections are affordable for most patients and can cost a fraction of what traditional plastic surgeries do.
- Improved confidence. Women who treat their double chin feel more confident in social situations, especially where photographs are involved!
What can I expect from my Kybella® injections?
The procedure is simple and relatively quick, with most patients seeing results after just 2-4 treatments. Plus, there’s no downtime required, so you can get back to your busy life right away! This alone makes it a much more desirable option than traditional plastic surgeries such as liposuction that are commonly used to address submental fullness.
