About Kybella
Kybella is an FDA-approved alternative to liposuction surgical procedures used to rid your body of fat below your chin. This non-surgical procedure requires no downtime and uses the synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the injectable treatment. The formulation of synthetic deoxycholic acid helps the body to destroy the stubborn excess fat cells below the chin. The body then processes and releases the damaged fat cells from the body. This allows for the permanent removal of the submental fat tissue in the treatment area.
Am I a Good Candidate?
Men and women looking to rid their body fat under the chin are great candidates for this procedure. Kybella injections, however, are not used to tighten the skin on the neck. This means individuals with loose skin may want to consider another procedure. Those seeking a combination of fat reduction and tightening may see more benefits with a neck lift procedure treatment.
How is a Kybella Treatment Performed?
A Kybella injection will require many small injections in specific spots beneath your chin. Once meticulously injected into the targeted fat area, the toxin will destroy the fat cells and dissolve fat in less than 30-minutes. Once the cell membrane is destroyed, the body will then metabolize the fat. Two to four follow-up treatments at the medical spa may be recommended monthly to achieve your ideal fat reduction goals.
Results and Recovery
Post-injection, patients treated with the FDA approved injectable may experience some swelling, redness and discomfort, but this should subside within a few days. You may require additional cosmetic treatments depending on the amount of subcutaneous fat necessary for removal to achieve your aesthetic goals. Over the course of a few months, you will notice continual improvement in the appearance of your neck, chin, and jawline area.
