There are many factors that contribute to a “double chin.” Genetics, extra weight and drooping skin over time can all cause excess fat to accumulate below a person’s jaw line.
The good news is, a new and revolutionary injectable treatment called Kybella has been approved by the FDA for reduction of fat in the chin area. With Kybella patients can achieve a more slender-looking jaw line and overall facial appearance without undergoing surgery.
What to Expect from Kybella™
Most patients begin to notice a slight improvement in the appearance of the chin after the first or second session (approximately one month). However, it typically takes about three or four sessions (around the three-month mark) for patients to see the desired results. Depending on the amount of fat under the chin, it may take up to six sessions to see the desired results.
About Kybella
While many injectables add volume to facial areas, Kybella is designed reduce volume by destroying fat cells, in turn eliminating the double chin. Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown of fat cells. Upon injection, Kybella breaks down fat cells in the chin area, which are then safely and painlessly absorbed by the body. The results of Kybella treatment are permanent, as the fat cells cannot return.
Treatment with Kybella™
For best results, Dr. McCracken typically recommends two to four sessions of injections administered six to eight weeks apart. He can complete one session in about 15 to 20 minutes.
Dr. McCracken injects the Kybella™ solution into the targeted areas on and around the chin that contain the most fat. Treatment is virtually painless; most patients note a feeling of warmth as the treatment goes to work to dissolve the neck fat.
