Kybella Injections
With today’s medical advancements and evolving technology, the possibilities for improving your facial appearance without surgery are growing. At the Beverly Hills Center for Plastic & Laser Surgery, this means taking advantage of the latest injectable treatment that can eliminate your double chin. We are proud to offer the revolutionary Kybella treatments. Kybella is an advanced yet non-surgical method to reduce unwanted fat deposits under the chin. If you are embarrassed by your double chin and do not want to undergo facial plastic surgery, Kybella injections can be an excellent solution for you.
Reduce Fat Deposits Under Your Chin
Kybella involves a series of injections that are FDA-approved and extremely effective for patients who suffer from the common “double-chin” appearance. Moderate to severe fat under the chin, or submental fat, can be instantly reduced using this simple and minimally invasive procedure. The drug used in Kybella injections is a synthetic version of your body’s own bioacid. By injecting it into the areas of fat in the chin and neck area, the fat cell membranes rupture and are permanently destroyed.
Depending on your specific situation and your personal goals, you may need repeated Kybella treatments for maximum results. The specialists at the Beverly Hills Center are careful to recommend the most effective treatment plan for each patient. From our relaxing amenities to our comfortable injection techniques, you can be confident that your double-chin treatment will be a positive and rewarding experience. In fact, patients will also benefit from minimal downtime after Kybella injections.
Frequently Asked Questions About Kybella Injections
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce moderate to severe fat beneath the chin, also known as submental fullness or “double chin.” Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
How does Kybella work?
Kybella works by destroying fat cells in the treatment area. Once injected, deoxycholic acid targets and breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and eliminated by the body over time.
Who is a good candidate for Kybella?
Candidates for Kybella injections are individuals bothered by excess fat under the chin, leading to a double chin appearance. It is important to have realistic expectations and be in good overall health before undergoing treatment.
What can I expect during the Kybella procedure?
Kybella injections are performed in the office by a trained healthcare provider. Before the procedure, the treatment area is cleansed and marked. A series of small injections are then administered under the chin, with the entire process typically taking about 15 to 20 minutes.
Is there any downtime after Kybella injections?
Some swelling, bruising, and tenderness in the treatment area are common after Kybella injections. These side effects usually resolve within a few days to a week. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
When will I see the results from Kybella?
Results from Kybella injections become noticeable gradually as the body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells. While some patients may see improvement after one treatment, optimal results are typically visible after completing the full series of treatments.
Are Kybella’s results permanent?
Yes, the results of Kybella injections are considered permanent since the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed and eliminated from the body. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight can help ensure long-lasting results.
Are Kybella injections safe?
When administered by a qualified healthcare professional, Kybella is a safe and FDA-approved treatment. As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential side effects and risks, which will be discussed during your consultation.
