by BodySculpt NYC Body Sculpt - Plastic Surgery

Kybella (deoxycholic acid injection) is a FDA approved injectable treatment that reduces moderate to severe fat under the chin. Kybella in Manhattan, NYC, NY can help men and women achieve sleek, chiseled jaw line. The 2017 American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) plastic surgery report shows that the number of people who underwent injection lipolysis such as Kybella treatment increased 12% from 55,660 in 2016 to 62,587 in 2017.

How Kybella Works

Kybella is injected directly into subcutaneous fat tissue in the submental area using an area-adjusted dose of 2 mg/cm². A single treatment contains up to a maximum of 50 injections or up to a total of 10 mL, spaced 1 cm apart and up to 6 single treatments may be administered at intervals no less than 1 month apart.

Before starting the treatment, the surgeon will examine the area under and around your chin and determine if you are a good candidate. The treatment will be customized depending on the amount of fat under the chin and your aesthetic goals. Once KYBELLA is injected into the fat under the chin, it destroys the fat cells and reduces the fullness under the chin. The destroyed cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. Thus, further treatment is not needed once you reach your aesthetic goals. Patients may receive multiple small injections under the chin at each treatment and the injection process takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

MedicineNet reported that, in clinical studies 43% of people who received deoxycholic acid achieved a 10% reduction in submental fat volume after six or fewer treatment and only 5% of people who received placebo achieved a 10% reduction in submental fat.
