Revitalize Your Chin with Kybella Chin Sculpting! 

At Doctor Edges, we specialize in enhancing the appearance of moderate to severe fullness in the submental area, commonly known as the double chin. Our Doctor Edges Physicians are thrilled to introduce Kybella, a revolutionary, non-invasive procedure designed to address this concern for most individuals. This nonsurgical treatment serves as an excellent alternative to liposuction, delivering lasting effects. 

What is Kybella Chin Sculpting? 

Kybella is composed of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. This double chin injection represents one of the latest advancements in treating submental fat, requiring only a few brief sessions with virtually no downtime. If you're grappling with stubborn chin fat that proves resistant to diet and exercise, consider scheduling a Kybella consultation with our Doctor Edges healthcare professionals. 

For those seeking more defined contours along the chin and jawline, Kybella injections offer a promising solution. Many of our Kybella patients have witnessed remarkable results in eliminating unwanted fat beneath the chin, including double chins. Contact us today to discover how we can assist you in achieving your desired aesthetic goals. 

How does Kybella work? 

 Kybella operates as an FDA-approved treatment for submental fat or double chin, setting itself apart from traditional approaches that involve surgical incisions and downtime. Unlike procedures such as neck liposuction, where small incisions near the earlobes or chin are made to suction out fat through a cannula, Kybella offers a non-surgical alternative. 

This revolutionary treatment requires a series of quick injections directly into the treatment site, eliminating the need for surgical incisions or a chin strap. Our highly trained Doctor Edges Physicians administer Kybella using a small needle. The deoxycholic acid in Kybella, once injected, initiates the destruction of fat cells at the treatment site. Subsequently, the lymphatic system naturally removes the destroyed cells from the body, leading to a gradual reduction of the double chin. 

What does the the Kybella treatment entail? 

Kybella treatments offer a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution for reducing unwanted fat under the chin. This procedure involves tiny injections of Kybella into the targeted areas without the need for surgery or incisions. Following the treatment, patients may experience minor bruising, mild to moderate swelling, numbness, and firmness around the injection site. Most side effects usually resolve within a few days, although some may persist for up to three weeks. 

For those concerned about swelling, it can be easily managed with a turtleneck or scarf. Our treatment packages are available in sets of 3 or 6, and the most suitable package will be determined during your cosmetic consultation. After your initial treatment at Doctor Edges, we will schedule your next visit, typically within one to two months. By your next treatment session, you'll likely observe changes in the contour of your neck as your body naturally eliminates the fat cells targeted by Kybella. The positive news is that new fat cells will not replace the ones destroyed by the treatment! 

Is the Procedure Painful? 

At Doctor Edges, we prioritize ensuring your comfort during Kybella injections. To enhance your experience, our Doctor Edges Team will apply a local anesthetic or numbing cream to minimize sensations at the treatment site. Many patients find this procedure to be well-tolerated. 

How Many Kybella Sessions Are Required? 

Typically, patients achieve optimal results with 3-6 Kybella sessions, depending on the size of the unwanted fat under the chin and individual aesthetic goals. Our treatment packages are available in sets of 3 or 6, and the most suitable option will be determined during your cosmetic consultation. 

To allow the deoxycholic acid to impact fat cells effectively and enable the lymphatic system to eliminate them, treatments are spaced approximately 1-2 months apart.

Can Kybella Injections be used for the Body as well?  

At Doctor Edges, we exclusively administer Kybella injections under the chin. Kybella has not received FDA approval for applications beyond treating submental fat or double chins. While Kybella could theoretically address fat pockets in other body areas, our commitment to patient safety adheres strictly to established guidelines. 

What are the results of Kybella treatments? 

Kybella injections, targeting undesirable fat under the chin or double chins, offer nearly permanent outcomes by eliminating fat cells through deoxycholic acid. Barring substantial alterations in your diet or lifestyle, excessive fat development in the treated area is unlikely. Kybella results manifest gradually, enhancing with each treatment. Optimal outcomes are typically observed after around 3-6 sessions.

FAQs

Kybella is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is very different from other submental fat or double chin treatments in that it doesn’t require surgical incisions or down time. For example, one of the more traditional approaches to get rid of a double chin has been neck liposuction. During liposuction, small incisions are made near the earlobes or the chin, and the fat is suctioned out through a cannula. However, neck liposuction carries with it certain risks, including downtime, and often requires the need for a chin strap to hold the skin in place after the procedure is complete. Kybella, on the other hand, is a non-surgical procedure that only requires a series of quick injections into the treatment site. Dr. Ekpo and her highly trained team will inject Kybella directly into the treatment area with a small needle. Once injected, the deoxycholic acid in Kybella begins to destroy the fat cells at the treatment site. As the cells are destroyed, they are removed out of your body through the lymphatic system, causing the double chin to shrink gradually.

Kybella treatments are a non-surgical, minimally invasive way to get rid of fat under the chin. Kybella does not involve any type of surgery or incisions, just tiny injections of the product into the areas of unwanted under chin fat. After your procedure, patients may experience some minor bruising, mild to moderate swelling, numbness, and some firm areas around the injection site. Many of the side effects will dissipate in just a couple of days, but others may last up to three weeks. If swelling persist, this can be covered up with a turtle neck or scarf. Our treatment packages come in packages of 3 or 6. The best package for you will be determined after your cosmetic consultation. After your first treatment at Doctor Edges Hair Restoration & Aesthetics, we will also schedule you for your next visit, commonly within one to two months. By your next treatment, you will typically be seeing changes in the contour of your neck as your body naturally eliminates those fat cells destroyed by the Kybella. The great news is that you will not make new fat cells to replace these!

Kybella injections for treatment of unwanted fat under the chin, as well as double chins can provide nearly-permanent results because the deoxycholic acid destroys fat cells in the area. This means that, unless you experience significant changes in your diet or lifestyle habits, excessive amounts of fat should not develop in the treatment site at a later time. Results from Kybella injections will appear gradually and become more noticeable with each treatment. Typically, patients see the best results after approximately 3-6 treatments.

Doctor Edges Hair Restoration & Aesthetics work very hard to make Kybella injections as comfortable as possible. For example, your provider will use either a local anesthetic or a numbing cream to decrease the sensation from the treatment site during the procedure. Most patients tolerate this procedure very well.

Doctor Edges Hair Restoration & Aesthetics only perform kybella injections under the chin. Kybella has not been FDA approved to be used for purposes other than to get rid of submental fat or a double chin. Although Kybella can theoretically be used to address pockets of fat in other parts of the body, Doctor Edges Hair Restoration & Aesthetics take patient safety very seriously and only use Kybella according to accepted guidelines.

Typically patients will need 3-6 Kybella injections to see the best results. This will of course depend on the size of the unwanted fat under your chin, or double chin, and the aesthetic goals you would like to achieve. Our treatment packages come in packages of 3 or 6. The best package for you will be determined after your cosmetic consultation. The treatments need to be performed approximately 1-2 months apart, so that the deoxycholic acid has time to affect the fat cells, and the lymphatic system is able to remove the unwanted fat cells from the body.
