Kybella for Double Chin

Kybellais an injectable treatment that targets the fat cells underneath your chin or the submental area. Using a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, the nonsurgical cosmetic treatment dissolves pockets of fat with impressive precision.

The injectable used in Kybella is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring bile acid in the body that aids in the breakdown of fatty tissue. When injected into the submental area of the chin or other targeted problem areas, it destroys the fall cells in those areas for good.

Over time and over a number treatments — your provider will likely recommend between 2-4 for optimal results — the injectable keeps those targeted areas from storing or accumulating fat. All that you’re left with is your desired result.

Kybella is ideal for patients looking to target stubborn pockets of fat where traditional methods haven’t been successful. The double chin is the most popular area to treat, but there are other problem spots that have been proven Kybella-worthy:

• Bra bulge
• Love handles
• Knee fat
• Saddlebags
• Lower abdomen

Former liposuction or C-section patients have also turned to Kybella to reduce bulges or pockets of fat as a result of those surgeries. Kybella is also a wonder for those close to their personal goal weight, especially if they’re having difficulties targeting fat loss in problem areas.

 If you’re pregnant, may become pregnant or are currently breastfeeding, you should not be receiving Kybella injections.

Before your treatment session, your physician will mark where your injections will go. They will then numb the area to weaken any potential discomfort. Some patients report a burning sensation during their treatment. The treatment itself will take around 15 minutes from start to finish.

Treatments will be scheduled every 4-6 weeks, depending on your injection sites and personalized treatment plan. That treatment plan will determine your Kybella cost. Expect 2-4 treatments for optimal results.

Kybella is very safe. Synthetic deoxycholic acid mimics naturally-produced acids in your body, reducing the chance for reactions post-treatment. Kybella is FDA-approved for use in targeted fat cell reduction in the chin area and has been used globally for years in destroying fat cells in problem spots.

Some swelling is expected post-treatment, but that subsides over time. Pain and redness can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medications and ice packs to the injection site.

Kybella dissolves fat cells at the injection sites, so results are meant to be long-lasting. Those fat cells don’t come back. They’re destroyed in the process. Once you reach your desired results with Kybella, it’s not expected that you’ll need to return for additional treatments.
