FDA Approved | Dissolve Your Double Chin

Kybella can get rid of excess fat underneath the chin that cannot be remedied by diet and exercise. Getting Kybella in Connecticut at Yolo Laser Center & Med Spa can reduce fat beneath the chin, eliminating the appearance of a “double chin.”

Kybella™

KYBELLA™ is the first and only FDA- approved injectable for a condition that is commonly referred to as a double chin. Kybella™ is identical to something your body makes called deoxycholic acid, which helps to absorb fats, the FDA says. It works by destroying fat cells and contouring and improving the appearance of submental fullness. The shot is an alternative to liposuction or surgery to treat double-chin fat. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

Am I a Good Candidate for Kybella?

The ideal candidates for Kybella are people who are at least 21 years old, healthy, and not allergic to Kybella’s ingredients. Good candidates have a moderate amount of chin fat that traditional efforts could not address. Patients should be mentally fit and must have realistic expectations of what Kybella can do for them.

Kybella is not suited for people with lax skin, a skin infection in the target area, a deep underbite, or a small chin with an oblique angle between the chin and neck. It is not ideal for people with difficulty swallowing, bleeding problems, or scar tissue from a facelift, neck lift, or liposuction.

Patients who are lactating or are pregnant or planning to be are not ideal candidates for Kybella.

What Happens During a Kybella Consultation?

During a Kybella consultation, we will discuss your aesthetic goals, ask about your complete medical history, and conduct a physical exam. We will also decide if you are suitable for the procedure and determine how many sessions you will need to achieve your goals.

What to Expect During Your Kybella Treatment

Kybella is a short injectable treatment that can be performed on an outpatient basis. Before the Kybella solution is administered, our team will perform an examination of the area beneath the chin to determine if the treatment is right for you. The medical team will make a grid of dots under your chin to serve as a guide. The procedure involves an injections of Kybella into the designated treatment area in order for it to work its magic. There are no incisions, anesthetic, or a long period of recovery involved. However, more than one treatment session may be required to achieve the best results.

Each session may last 15 minutes. Kybella’s results can typically be seen within two to four sessions.

What Is Aftercare Like?

Kybella does not require any recovery time or downtime. You might see slight redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites, but they will disappear over time. Warm or cold compresses can aid in this process. Firm massage and over-the-counter pain-control medications can also be helpful.

How Much Does Kybella Cost?

The cost of a Kybella treatment will depend on the amount of Kybella used and the number of sessions needed to achieve the desired results. We’ll perform an initial assessment of your facial features to develop a customized treatment plan that’s tailored to your individual needs. After we have developed your personalized Kybella treatment, we’ll discuss the estimated price.
