If you are unhappy with your double chin, you know how self-conscious it can make you about your appearance. While liposuction is an option for treatment, it is risky and expensive. Fortunately, there is now a non-surgical solution that can help you get rid of your double chin for good: Kybella® injections. Kybella® is a safe and effective cosmetic injectable treatment that works by destroying fat cells under the chin, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness.
What are the benefits of Kybella®?
Kybella® allows you to address a double chin without surgery. What’s more, Kybella® treatments are quick and easy, with most sessions taking less than 30 minutes from start to finish. And because Kybella® is made from a naturally occurring substance in the body, deoxycholic acid, there’s minimal risk of allergic reaction or other side effects.
What can I expect from Kybella® treatments?
Kybella® is injected directly into the fatty tissue beneath the chin. During your treatment session, your provider will mark the injection sites and then carefully inject the Kybella® solution. You may feel a brief sting, but the injections are generally well tolerated. Most patients need anywhere from two to four treatment sessions spaced four to six weeks apart to achieve their desired results.
After Kybella® treatment, you can expect to see a gradual reduction in fullness under the chin. The fat cells that are destroyed by the Kybella® injection will not return, so you can enjoy long-lasting results. However, if you do experience weight gain, the remaining fat cells can enlarge and cause the double chin to return. This is why Dr. Daniel S. Tresley of Northbrook, IL, encourages patients considering Kybella® to already be within their ideal weight range and participate in an active, healthy lifestyle to maintain results after treatment.
