Kybella – An Ideal Nonsurgical Option to Address a Double Chin

Weight gain and aging are common reasons for many aesthetic concerns, especially a double chin. Most women are hesitant to go under the knife to treat a double chin. Fortunately, today we have Kybella double chin treatment, an innovative treatment to address excess fat beneath the chin. Kybella injections are composed of deoxycholic acid that destroys fat under the chin. It is an injectable drug that is an FDA- approved for treating submental fat. Kybella injections remove unwanted fat from the chin area and can result in a well-shaped, youthful jawline. 

Though Kybella is a nonsurgical procedure, it requires some preparation. It's advisable to schedule the procedure well before any major events. Washing your face properly before the appointment can help reduce the risk of infection, and avoiding ibuprofen and acetaminophen can prevent post-treatment bruising. Make sure to choose a certified plastic surgeon and discuss your medical history with him/her. It is also important to mention if you have had any cosmetic surgery done in the neck, face or chin. You should also let your healthcare provider know if you are nursing or pregnant, or planning to become pregnant in the near future.

Kybella offers speed, precision and efficacy.  When deoxycholic acid is injected into the chin area, it destroys the fat cells. A KYBELLA treatment session is typically 15-20 minutes, with injections taking only 5 minutes and most patients need just  2 to 4 treatments to see chin contouring results. The number of injections and the number of treatments are tailored to the individual patient’s submental fat distribution and treatment goals. 

Kybella double chin treatment is solely for removing the fat from underneath the chin and an improper injection can lead to damage tissues outside of the treatment area. So it is important to choose a trained and experienced plastic surgeon who can provide optimal results with no serious side effects.
