Chin Up! Finally, There’s a Solution for Stubborn Double Chin Fat: KYBELLA!

Most everyone appreciates the notion of “right timing.” You know, that perfect scenario when the planets align, your calendar cooperates and things simply click into place. In the world of facial plastic surgery, KYBELLA® is experiencing right timing. This non-surgical, double-chin buster has arrived in the cosmetic-improvement category at an opportune time. According to the American Society Plastic Surgeons, injection-based procedures that focus on eliminating fat pockets, such as below the chin area, rose by 18% in 2016. If you have excess fat beneath your chin, consider that this too may be your right timing to receive KYBELLA®.

Chin Up! Finally, There’s a Solution for Stubborn Double Chin Fat: KYBELLA®

Excess fat under the chin can be a challenging issue. Sadly, what is referred to as the fatty submental area or more commonly, “double chin,” can be difficult to remedy by natural means. Even the most arduous health and fitness enthusiasts can’t ditch a double chin. KYBELLA®, however, can!

KYBELLA®, scientifically referred to as (sodium deoxycholic,) ATX-101 is made up of a naturally occurring molecule in the body that successfully eliminates submental fat. The body simply, safely reabsorbs the by-products once the solution is injected.

Although as of late KYBELLA® has been making rounds as a highly-sought after treatment in the millennial realm, there isn’t necessarily an “optimal age,” for receiving the treatment. An FDA snapshot of KYBELLA®, revealed that clinical-trial participants ranged in age from 19 to 65 years old, and consisted of varying backgrounds.

Prime candidates for KYBELLA® have moderate to severe fat beneath the chin, are in overall good health and have realistic expectations. A consultation will ultimately determine whether you qualify for KYBELLA®.

Those who have had recent cosmetic treatments on the face, neck or chin, are experiencing a medical/skin condition in the face/neck area, have trouble swallowing, have bleeding problems, or may be pregnant or breastfeeding may not be a good fit for KYBELLA.

Is KYBELLA Safe?

Yes! In fact, KYBELLA® is currently the only FDA approved, nonsurgical treatment to rid submental fat below the chin.

In addition to being FDA approved, as well as completely safe and effective, 80% of patients in a KYBELLA® clinical study experienced improvement in appearance under the chin within an estimated 12-week period. As an added bonus, KYBELLA® has minimal side effects and requires little to no downtime. Some bruising and swelling are normal and usually dissipates after a few days.

The number of treatments will vary, but typically recipients of KYBELLA® will require two to four treatments to witness visible results. The injectable process can be done quickly. You can be in and out of the office during a lunch break or on the way to or from work! Treatment should be spread out, at a minimum, a month apart.
