How Kybella Can Reduce the Appearance of Your Double Chin

You’ve put together a workout routine that’s sustainable and effective, and you’ve been keeping at it for weeks or months. You’ve adjusted your diet so that you’re eating balanced, nutritious meals, and you can see the pounds dropping off every month.

You’re feeling great when you look in the mirror, except for that one trouble spot: your double chin. No matter how hard you work, you can’t see any progress there, and it’s starting to frustrate you.

At Skin Med Spa, we understand your struggle. That’s why we offer Kybella neck lift injections to erase your double chin for good. Here’s how we do it.

What is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable used to help get rid of your double chin (also known as submental fullness). It contains deoxycholic acid, which helps dissolve fat in your body. Once Kybella is injected into your skin, it liquifies the membranes of the fat cells in the area, so they can no longer accumulate fat; your body can simply absorb the cells, reducing the fullness of your chin area and improving your profile view.

Getting Kybella injections is a less-invasive method for reducing your double chin than liposuction or fat excision. It doesn’t require anesthesia, nor does it result in any scarring or infections.

Will it work for me?

You’re a good candidate for Kybella injections if you’re tired of having submental fullness, and your diet and exercise efforts don’t seem to be making a difference. It’s the only FDA-approved injectable designed to minimize your double chin. Additionally, the injection takes less time and offers fewer side effects than other treatment options.

If you have difficulty swallowing, bleeding problems, weak facial muscles, and are prone to infections, you may not be a good candidate for Kybella. Also, if you have a double chin because of excess skin instead of excess fat, a skin tightening procedure will probably work better for you.

What should I expect?

Although your doctor will design a customized treatment plan for your Kybella injections, most patients will need multiple treatments spaced four weeks apart. The average person needs two to four sessions to achieve optimal results. 

During each procedure, you’ll receive an ice pack and numbing cream, and then you’ll get multiple small injections under your chin. The process will take 15-20 minutes for each treatment. You may experience some numbness, bruising, or swelling afterwards, but those effects are usually short-lived.

If you’re ready to lose your double chin once and for all, contact the Skin Med Spa office to set up an initial consultation. You can reach us by phone, or you can choose your own appointment time with our convenient online scheduler.

Get ready to kiss that double chin goodbye!
