Kybella is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to target and eliminate submental fat, commonly known as a “double chin.” The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, which is naturally found in the body and helps break down fat. When injected into the chin area, Kybella targets and destroys fat cells, leading to a more contoured and defined jawline.
How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella works by using deoxycholic acid to destroy fat cells in the treated area. The acid breaks down and absorbs the fat, which is then naturally eliminated by the body. Over the course of several treatments, patients can see a noticeable reduction in the fullness beneath the chin, leading to a slimmer, more youthful appearance.
What Can You Expect from Treatment?
- Treatment with Kybella is quick and minimally invasive. The procedure typically takes about 15-20 minutes, and the injections are performed directly into the submental area.
- A series of treatments, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, may be recommended for optimal results. Average series includes three(3) treatment sessions.
- Patients may experience swelling, redness, or tenderness after treatment, but these side effects are usually temporary and subside within a few days to weeks.
Who is a Good Candidate for Kybella?
Kybella is ideal for individuals who have moderate to severe submental fat but are not looking for invasive surgery like liposuction or neck lifts. It’s perfect for people who are generally healthy, have realistic expectations, and want to achieve a more defined jawline. Kybella is a great option for those looking to avoid the downtime and recovery associated with surgical procedures. However, it’s important to have a consultation with Dr. Dickie at SARA Surgery to determine if Kybella is the best solution for your goals.
