Hold Your Chin Up With KYBELLA®

Sick and tired of hand-me-downs? I’m talking about that double chin that was so graciously passed down from granny! Well say good bye with KYBELLA® (a non surgical treatment) because it’s time to hold your chin up high!

KYBELLA® is the 1st FDA approved substance to remove fat without having surgery. It will kill and destroy the fat cells and then they’re naturally reabsorbed in to the body. For those who don’t want to have surgery because of down time to heal and taking some time off work, KYBELLA® might be the answer.
Let’s review who KYBELLA® is best for, how long the procedure takes, down time if any and the cost of this popular product.

Who it’s best for: Patients with mild to moderate fat under the chin. Patients who are obese or who have a turkey neck that requires a lot of skin tightening should try other options.
Procedure: The 20-minute treatment is nonsurgical, but involves dozens of small injections. A doctor or trained nurse creates a grid of dots targeting the fat under the chin and then does multiple injections in one session. Some patients may experience mild burning or a stinging sensation.
Downtime: There is little to no downtime, but some patients may experience some bruising, redness, and swelling that can last up to a week as the fat melts away. After a few weeks, patients will start to see a change.
Maintenance: Patients will need to have three to six treatments, each spaced a month apart.
Cost: $1,500 per treatment. Patients should expect to do two to four treatments.
