Providing Quality Care
Kybella
Kybella® is a long-awaited solution for men and women who have double chins and adequate skin elasticity. Liposuction and neck lifts have been the only options for treating double chins. In many cases, the procedures were somewhat excessive because many people have skin elasticity and do not need to have skin removed with the fat. After extensive clinical trials, the FDA approved Kybella® as a treatment that literally melts fat in the upper neck and jowl area without surgery. The secret behind the results is purified deoxycholic acid. The acid occurs naturally in the human body and helps break down fat in the foods we eat. Researchers found a way to incorporate the acid in a cosmetic injectable product to eliminate the fat that develops in the neck and jowl area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a Candidate for Kybella® Treatment?
​
The key to achieving optimum results from Kybella® treatments is skin elasticity. The skin in the treatment area must be able to reshape itself to the natural contours of the neck and jowls. If you do not have adequate skin elasticity, Kybella® treatments will not only eliminate the fat but unfortunately also leave you with unsightly loose skin. Your best option is a neck lift to remove both the excess fat and relaxed skin.
​
How is Kybella® Administered? How Long Does It Take to Get Kybella® Treatment?
​
Our treatment providers administer Kybella® by making injections along the area of fat under the chin using a very fine needle. You may experience a slight prick as the needle is inserted. Treatment procedure usually takes about 30 minutes.
​
How Many Treatments of Kybella® Will I Need?
​
After examining the nature of your double chin during the consultation, our providers will recommend between two and six treatments with Kybella®. After each treatment, our providers will evaluate your progress at four to 12 weeks. Based on the findings, they will administer Kybella® as needed until optimum results are achieved.
​
How Long Do Kybella® Results Last?
​
Once our provider removes all fat from your double chin, the results are considered permanent because the fat cells are destroyed. You may be prone to developing new fat cells, so the longevity of the results is dependent upon your ability to maintain a healthy lifestyle and ideal weight.
​
How Much Does Kybella® Cost?
​
Insurance does not cover the cost of Kybella® treatments, so we want to provide our patients with accurate cost information so they can plan for their treatments. After your consultation, we have a better idea of how much Kybella® is required for your double chin, although this can change over the course of treatment. To ensure that you can afford the entire treatment, we offer several payment options, including cash, check, credit card and financing through affordable and convenient lenders.
