Kybella
A double chin, also known as submental fat, is a common condition that occurs when a layer of fat forms below your chin. A double chin is often associated with weight gain, but you don't have to be overweight to have one. Genetics or looser skin resulting from aging may also cause a double chin. Kybella® is a minimally invasive procedure that delivers small amounts of fat-dissolving compounds through a series of injections.
What is Kybella®?
An injection approved by the FDA that helps to reduce your double chin without surgery. This injectable treatment destroys fat cells to achieve lasting, natural results. It usually requires multiple treatments, 4-6 weeks apart.
How it works
According to the FDA, Kythera Biopharmaceuticals is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a chemical that is naturally produced by the body and has been found to help absorb fat cells. The natural process involves the body producing the organic compound, which breaks down the membrane of fat cells and absorbs them by metabolic means.

Kybella® tends to work best for people who have moderate fat in their upper neck. Since the procedure is used to destroy fat cells, it doesn't work for people who have excess skin or loose folds of skin on the neck. Ideal candidates for this treatment should've already explored conventional options for weight Kybella® is injected with multiple small injections. Usually 2 to 3 vials are used per Kybella® injection treatment. Generally, 2 to 3 three treatments are required to get the results that most patients are looking for, but it could be up to 5 treatments (depending on the amount of fat and improvement desired) to complete the entire procedure. This is dependent on your area of concern and treatment goals. The injection is made with a very tiny needle and each injection is small in a volume that usually does not cause discomfort. Some claimed that they experienced stinging or burning for a short while after. The pressure caused by the injection is present for a small moment and goes away very quickly allowing you to resume normal activity immediately afterward. Kybella® does not tighten skin, but melts away excess under-chin fat, restoring youthful definition at the jawline. If your facial skin is still firm and elastic, it will contract on its own as the fatty deposits melt away. It is best to avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, Ginkgo Biloba, Garlic, Flax Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, or any other essential fatty acids and all other Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) at least 1-2 weeks before and after treatment to minimize bruising or bleeding. It is helpful to eat a lot of leafy greens and celery prior to the appointment, as it will increase the levels of vitamin K, a known bruise preventer/reducer Immediately after the treatment you may see tiny bumps at the injection site.
