Chin fat, also known as submittal fullness, can make you appear older and heavier than you actually are. It is also one of the most challenging areas to fix and rarely responds to diet and exercise alone. In the past, the only solution to that stubborn double chin would have been liposuction, but now there is a new solution called Kybella. It is the safe, non-surgical alternative to help you achieve a more youthful, shapely jaw look with minimal recovery time.
At Dr. Guy Facial Plastic Surgery, double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. W. Marshall Guy has been serving the people of Texas with beautiful, natural cosmetic results. Trained in Kybella administration, he can customize your results according to your individual goals.
What Is Kybella?
Kybella is an injectable solution of a substance found naturally in parts of the body that aid in the digestion of fat. When injected into a specific area, this compound can focus on dismantling one section of built-up fat cells. Unlike weight loss (which only reduces the size of fat cells, not eliminates them), Kybella destroys those fat cells so they cannot come back. FDA approved, safe, and effective with limited downtime, Kybella is the top choice in providing you with a clean, contoured jaw and neckline. Also, after the fat cells are destroyed and digested naturally, Kybella doesn’t leave you with loose skin, as the treatment will tighten and contour your jawline.
What To Expect During Your Kybella Treatment
Kybella can only be administered by a trained specialist, preferably a facial plastic surgeon. The area you would like to target area will be treated with an anesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout your session. At each treatment session, you will receive multiple small injections of Kybella beneath the chin. The injection process can take from 15 to 20 minutes. The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat you have under the chin and your desired profile. Several sessions may be necessary in order to achieve your desired results. Best of all, there’s no post-operation recovery; you’re free to go about your routine immediately after treatment. You can even schedule your Kybella treatment on your lunch break and get right back to work when you’re finished.
Recovery After Kybella
All side effects are different for each patient, but the most common associated with Kybella include swelling, bruising, redness, and numbing. They usually resolve themselves shortly after each treatment, and you can remedy any discomfort with a cool compress or physician-approved form of pain medication. Any bruising can be covered with makeup.
