For many people, the year-end holidays present ample opportunity to connect with loved ones, celebrate the season, indulge in rich meals, and partake in festive traditions — like meeting a secret crush (or long-term partner) under the mistletoe for a quick kiss.
But if you’re feeling self-conscious about your less-than-defined chin profile, you may not be too excited about the prospect of spontaneous holiday romance.
Fortunately, our team at Manhattan Dermatology can help you say goodbye to submental fullness (aka a double chin) for good with a few tiny, well-placed Kybella® injections.
Body shape and fat storage are also strongly influenced by genetics, gender, and age. This helps explain why many people find themselves dealing with stubborn trouble spots as they get older.
Submental fullness, otherwise known as a double chin, is one of the most common trouble spots.
While staying active and eating a balanced diet can go a long way in helping you maintain a healthy weight and a fit, strong body, it can’t help you spot-reduce your trouble spots.
Kybella is a highly effective form of mesotherapy that’s FDA-approved to reduce submental fullness. Like other forms of mesotherapy, it uses a series of small, well-placed injections to dissolve unwanted fat cells and redefine your chin profile.
Before Kybella, the only way to get rid of stubborn chin fat was through plastic surgery or liposuction. Ongoing advances in minimally invasive aesthetic medicine have made it possible to get the same results safely and quickly, without having to go under the knife.
Kybella dissolves unwanted chin fat through a series of tiny, highly targeted injections in the submental area. These injections contain synthetic deoxycholic acid, a powerful lipolysis agent that breaks down adipose (fat) cells without affecting surrounding cells or tissues.
Kybella harnesses the power of an all-natural process that already occurs: Your body produces organic deoxycholic acid, a natural metabolic compound that plays a key role in helping your digestive system break down the fats in your diet.
The main ingredient in Kybella is nearly identical to the fat-dissolving metabolic compound in your body. When injected beneath your chin into pockets of unwanted fat cells, Kybella is just as effective at breaking them apart so they melt away.
To ensure your chin-defining treatment is safe, effective, and precise, Kybella works over the course of multiple sessions, with each treatment spaced about a month apart.
Your Kybella treatment begins with a customized plan that emphasizes your personal needs and aesthetic goals: We determine the precise number of injections that’s best for you based on your degree of submental fullness and desired chin profile.
Some people see significant chin profile changes in just two Kybella sessions, while others need up to six sessions to reach their cosmetic goals. The average person needs about four Kybella treatments to achieve optimal chin-slimming results.
One Kybella session takes about 20 minutes from start to finish. During each treatment, you receive multiple tiny injections of synthetic deoxycholic acid. Because the needles are small and the injections are quick, most people find the process to be painless.
Kybella carries a very low risk of adverse side effects. Any mild swelling, redness, or bruising you may experience will likely be very mild and brief.
More than 3 in 5 people with submental fullness say they’re bothered by their extra chin fat and wish there was an easy way to get rid of it. If this sounds familiar, Kybella may be the answer you’ve been waiting for.
After completing your Kybella treatment plan, you’ll see a considerable reduction in submental fullness and an improved chin profile that leaves you looking as young, trim, and healthy as you already feel.
Even better, you can expect beautiful, long-lasting results that don’t require future upkeep: Unlike most other cosmetic injectables, Kybella delivers permanent results.
