If you struggle with a double chin, otherwise known as “submental fullness,” and want to speak to one of our providers at Coastal Aesthetics Medical Spa about your options, we invite you to book a consultation with Theresa Hoffman, and her team to discuss a solution known as Kybella. Kybella is an injectable treatment designed to reduce fat in the chin and neck area to provide a more contoured jaw. It is a reliable and safe solution for those ready to contour the face and profile without plastic surgery. Below are some frequently asked questions about this non-surgical chin augmentation treatment.
Kybella is a cosmetic injectable that targets and dissolves fat cells in the submental area (underneath the chin). The FDA has approved it as a treatment for moderate to severe submental fullness, sometimes called a “double chin.” Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a substance that the body naturally produces and aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When Kybella is injected directly into the fat under the chin, it kills fat cells. The body’s normal metabolic mechanism gets rid of these cells.
Results from Kybella treatments can vary from person to person. Generally, several sessions are required to achieve optimal results. Some clients might see visible improvements after two to four treatments, while others may require up to six sessions. Once the specific fat cells have been destroyed and eliminated, they cannot return. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle prevents the formation of new fat cells in the treated area.
Absolutely! The Kybella injection has been approved by the United States FDA and is considered to be both a safe and effective treatment for submental fullness. This injectable has undergone extensive clinical trials and has consistently been proven to be a non-surgical alternative to reduce stubborn fat under the chin. When performed by a trained and skilled medical professional, it will ensure the desired results and reduce the risk of possible complications. Be sure to talk to our team about the pros and cons of this treatment and determine if you are an appropriate candidate.
The Coastal Aesthetics Medical Spa team believes in providing patients with cosmetic solutions that rarely require plastic surgery. If you are struggling with a double chin and are ready to speak to an experienced provider about Kybella, call (910) 679-5027 to request an appointment at our office.Â
