This blog delves into Kybella, a nonsurgical injectable to eliminate submental fat under the chin (aka a double chin.)
How Kybella Works to Reduce Chin Fat
Kybella is an injectable containing deoxycholic acid, a duplicate of a natural molecule that helps break down fat in the body. It’s the only FDA-approved injectable for reduction of submental fat. When injected under the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, preventing them from storing fat again. Over time, your body’s lymphatic system naturally flushes the fat cells out, leaving you with a slimmer, more contoured jawline.
Benefits of Kybella vs. Surgery
Many patients inquire about how Kybella compares to other options like liposuction. While liposuction is effective in immediately removing fat, it’s a surgical procedure requiring anesthesia and significant downtime.
Kybella is nonsurgical, with no incisions. For this treatment, our highly trained injector places a series of injections in and around the submental area. Sessions take less than 60 minutes. Most patients have between two and six treatment sessions, about one month apart, for optimal results.
Generally, patients can resume normal activities right away. It’s normal to experience some swelling after Kybella treatments. That’s a sign that the fat-burning is starting and is nothing to worry about. But, some patients may wish to avoid social activities for a day or two after treatment.
Ultimately, Kybella is less invasive, easier, more comfortable, and more convenient than liposuction, so many patients opt for this route over surgery.
