Fat Reduction Injections To Remove Double Chin
It’s safe to say that a double chin isn’t flattering on anyone! Whether it is the result of genetics, aging or weight gain, most patients think it makes them appear older and heavier. The double chin is often unresponsive to diet and exercise, and until recently, only surgical options were on the table. Luckily, Kybella injections safely and effectively eliminate fat under the chin and neck – without the surgery.
What Is Kybella?
FDA-approved in 2015, Kybella is an injectable substance that dissolves excess fat under the chin and in the underarms. A completely non-invasive, in-office procedure, Kybella is administered by a plastic surgeon or trained aesthetic provider. Each treatment takes about ten minutes, during which a series of injections are placed directly into the target area.
What You Should Know About Kybella
-
Kybella is a manufactured form of deoxycholic acid — a substance that naturally occurs in the human body and is used to emulsify fats. When Kybella is injected into neck fat, it breaks down fat cell membranes which leads to their destruction and metabolic absorption by the body.
The fat disappears, permanently, and the neck achieves a more attractive contour.
-
After your treatment, you may experience some swelling, redness or mild discomfort in the treated area. These side effects are temporary and should resolve within a few days or up to a week.
Over time, the submental fat will gradually diminish, revealing a more defined jawline and improved facial contours.
-
The good news is that once fat cells in a specific area are destroyed and eliminated by the body, the results of Kybella are long-lasting. Once they are gone, they are gone for good!
-
Partial results are apparent after several weeks. Several treatments are typically necessary to achieve the optimum effect. The number of treatments and injections depends on the size of the double chin and the patient’s desired outcome.
The Additional Benefits Of Kybella Injections
Kybella is completely non-surgical, so it causes less pain, requires less recovery, and leaves no scar when compared to liposuction. In some cases, these injections can also be used to decrease fat in the underarms at the discretion of the provider. Most patients are thrilled with their results, and afterward report looking younger and feeling more confident.
