Kybella is a non-surgical treatment designed to reduce excess fat beneath the chin, commonly called a double chin. The active component in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. Injecting Kybella into fat beneath the chin effectively destroys fat cells, which are naturally eliminated from the body. This process results in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin, creating a more defined facial profile.
Kybella is ideal for men and women with submental fullness who want to avoid surgical procedures. Suitable candidates maintain a healthy lifestyle yet find that diet and exercise do not help reduce their double chin. Results can typically be seen after 2 to 4 treatment sessions, spaced at least one month apart. In this procedure, fat cells are permanently destroyed and unable to store or accumulate fat. To improve your chin contour, consider Kybella treatment at Noble Cosmetic Surgery in Plano, TX and Desoto, TX. Book an appointment today to find out if Kybella is suitable for you.
Good candidates are adults unhappy with fat under the chin, in good health, and prefer not to undergo surgery.
Results from Kybella treatments can be seen after 2 to 4 sessions, with noticeable improvements typically observable several weeks after the first treatment.
The results from Kybella are permanent, as the fat cells destroyed during treatment cannot regenerate or store fat.
Minimal downtime is required after Kybella treatments. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, or numbness under the chin, which usually subsides within a few days to weeks.
Do not take medications that may increase bleeding risk, such as aspirin, before Kybella treatment. Add ice or a cold pack to the injection site to reduce swelling after treatment.
During a Kybella treatment, multiple small injections will be made under the chin. It usually takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete the process. You may experience minor discomfort during the injection, but the pain is minimal.
