Kybella®: Effective, Non-Surgical Treatment for Un-Wanted Chin Fat
The double chin—it plagues many of us when we look in the mirror and see those tell-tale fatty deposits marring an otherwise aesthetically beautiful countenance. Whether a result of age, weight gain, or heredity, the dreaded double chin, or “submental fullness”, is nearly impossible to work off with diet and exercise, and typically requires a cosmetic procedure to remove. Surgical treatments to address submental fullness can involve risks, as well as requiring significant recovery and downtime. Kybella® treatments are an effective, minimally-invasive alternative to surgery, using the body’s own natural metabolic processes to eliminate un-wanted chin fat.
Kybella® treatments involve a series of injections under the chin, using a solution of deoxycholic acid—a naturally-occurring substance that breaks down and metabolizes fat cells. By injecting this substance directly into areas of un-wanted chin fat, it allows the fat cells to be broken down and cleansed by the body’s immune system, reducing the appearance of the double chin.

How Does It Work?
Kybella® treatments are comprised of a series of injections which are carefully planned and delicately executed to provide a sleek and contoured result. Depending on your treatment plan and individual needs, a topical or local anesthetic will be used to mitigate any potential discomfort. The injected solution targets fat cells under the chin, breaking them down so that they can be naturally metabolized by the body’s immune system. As the fat cells are metabolized and removed, the chin volume is reduced—resulting in a youthfully contoured submental region.
Results
In the first weeks following treatment, you will begin to feel a tightening sensation under the chin—this is the beginning of the body breaking down and removing unwanted fat cells. After approximately one month, the effects of treatment will become visible, with full results evident after approximately three months. Most patients will require a series of treatments in order to achieve their desired goals, and treatments can be spaced one month apart. The effects of Kybella® treatments are typically permane
