If you’re unhappy with the appearance of a double chin, then you may be a candidate for Kybella™ Injections. This injectable is FDA-approved and designed to reduce submental fullness or excess fat below the chin. The treatment is effective due to its active ingredient deoxycholic acid, which naturally occurs in the body to help metabolize fat. When injected, this substance dissolves excess fatty tissue, creating a more toned chin appearance.
Dr. Anthony Bittar and his leading team of experienced injectors specialize in providing surgical and non-surgical cosmetic procedures to patients in the Austin, Texas area. For long-lasting, beautiful results, contact Beau Visage Center today!
Traditionally, the fat reduction was only possible through invasive procedures like liposuction or neck lift surgery, but with Kybella™ injections, the entire process is now relatively quick, taking about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. The treatment is administered by Dr. Bittar, Austin’s leading plastic surgeon. Up to 50 injections can be administered during one Kybella™ session and are done under the chin, right where the double chin is visible to dissolve the fat that is present.
Depending on the extent of your needs, some patients may require multiple treatment sessions for optimal results. Kybella™ injections must be completed with a minimum of one-month intervals between each session.
This non-surgical option for double chin removal is considered a safe alternative to neck plastic surgery for chin fat reduction and other cosmetic procedures that target this common problem area.
Before your Kybella™ procedure, you must inform your doctor if you’ve had surgery or other cosmetic treatments around your face, chin, or neck. Or if you’ve been experiencing trouble swallowing, have a history of thyroid disorder, have swollen lymph glands, or if you have a bleeding or clotting disorder. Your doctor can then assess whether this is a safe option for you, or suggest suitable alternatives. However, patients that do not have a history of these symptoms should be eligible for Kybella™ double chin treatment.
