If you’re bothered by a double chin, you’ve got plenty of company. A recent study showed that approximately 67% of respondents were bothered by the excess fat under their chin or neck. The good news is, there’s a non-surical solution. It’s Kybella®, an FDA-approved treatment designed to reduce submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin.
At Best Impression Med Spa in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, our expert team, led by Dr. Robert Mirabile and Dr. Vivian Hsu, knows well the transformation Kybella can deliver.
Read on as they unpack everything you need to know about banishing submental fat with this revolutionary treatment.
During your Kybella treatment, your provider administers a series of small injections of deoxycholic acid into the submental area. Over the course of a few weeks, the acid destroys the fat cells.
Each treatment session typically lasts 15-20 minutes, and patients can return to their normal activities immediately following the procedure.
Kybella is customizable to each patient's specific needs. The number of injections and treatment sessions required depends on the amount of submental fat present and the desired results.
Best of all, the results are long-lasting. Once your fat cells are destroyed, they cannot return, although it's essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
Liposuction and surgery are invasive procedures that require incisions and general anesthesia. Those procedures also involve longer recovery times and a higher risk of complications.
Kybella is a safe and effective treatment for most adults with submental fullness. However, not everyone is a good candidate for the treatment. Individuals with loose or sagging skin in the submental area may not see the same results as those with good skin elasticity. Additionally, pregnant or breastfeeding women should not receive the treatment, and individuals with certain medical conditions or taking certain medications may need to avoid Kybella.
Ready to get started? As with all medical procedures, you only want to work with an experienced healthcare professional with experience administering Kybella, such as the Best Impression Med Spa team.
