Submental fullness or “double chin” is a very common manifestation of the aging process. Submental fullness can be influenced by factors such as aging, genetics, weight changes, and is often resistant to diet and exercise. Many people do not notice their double chin until seeing themselves in digital photographs from a side profile. Statistics indicate that 68% of people are bothered with a double chin which correlates with complaints of lines and wrinkles around the eyes.

​

KYBELLA  (deoxycholic acid) injection is the first and only FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness or double chin. Kybella is a nonsurgical alternative to more invasive alternatives such as surgery or liposuction. Kybella is a simple office procedure requiring no anesthesia and very minimal downtime.  Many patients experience visible contouring of their chin profile in two to four treatment sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart.

​

Kybella can also be used in other areas if  the amount of fat to be treated is minimal.  Examples of off face Kybella uses are:  bra fat, lower abdomen, medial or lateral thighs.  The advantage of Kybella in these areas is that for smaller areas, Kybella minimizes the risk of contour irregularities that can happen with liposuction.
