Frequently asked questions about Kybella double chin fat injections
Fighting a double chin may seem like a losing battle, and many men and women who want to improve the contours of their jaw and chin area may incorrectly believe that plastic surgery is their only option. Fortunately, the SkinProvement Dermatology New York team in New York, New York, provides a minimally-invasive option for patients to consider, which is called Kybella. Kybella can reduce the amount of fat in the area to restore youthful contours and improve self-confidence in those who do not have the chin definition they desire. Below are just some of the frequently asked questions about Kybella treatment heard at our office.
What is Kybella?
Dr. Stephen Comite and his team at SkinpProvement Dermatology of New York, New York, describe Kybella as double chin fat injections. The FDA has approved this injectable medication to reduce double chins or submental fat. It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the human body that helps break down and absorb fat from food.
How does the Kybella double chin treatment work?
When Kybella is injected beneath the chin, it breaks down fat cells. These cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, leading to a slimmer and more defined jawline.
How many treatments do I need?
Kybella treatment typically involves multiple injections over several sessions, about 4-6 weeks apart. As the body processes the destroyed fat cells naturally, results become noticeable within a few weeks after each session.
Is Kybella’s treatment uncomfortable?
We want our patients to feel at ease when having certain procedures performed in our office. We may talk to you about your specific tolerance for discomfort and determine if we can use topical creams to numb the area before injections. We do encourage patients to be honest about their fears so we can help!
How long does it take to see results from Kybella injections?
Our office tends to achieve optimal results after two to four sessions. For many, this means seeing significant improvement in their double chin within three to four months.
Am I a proper candidate for Kybella injections?
Kybella might be a great non-surgical option if you have a “double chin” or extra fat building up under your chin. However, scheduling a consultation with our skilled team is best to determine if Kybella is the right treatment for your specific concerns.
