Q: What is Kybella?
A: Kybella is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injection for reducing moderate to severe fullness in the sub-mental region commonly known as the “double chin” in adults.
The injections are made up of a naturally occurring substance in the body called deoxycholic acid. Once injected into the fat cells- deoxycholic acid destroys fat cells permanently.
Q: Who is a good candidate?
- Someone who has mild to moderate fullness in the double chin area that bothers them.
- Someone who does not want to or is not medically able to have plastic surgery or liposuction. Kybella only requires the patient to have an office visit for injections in their chin, so general anesthesia is not required.
Q: How long does a treatment take?
A: You will be numbed topically with a cream for about 30 minutes prior to the injections. Once we begin injecting, it will take approx 5-10 minutes total.
Q: Does it hurt?
A: A few minutes after we begin injection you will start to feel a burning sensation. This peaks about 5 minutes after we start injecting and lasts for about 15 minutes.
Q: What are the side effects?
A: As stated above, you will have some temporary but quick discomfort immediately following the injections. You will also start to swell. Swelling will be the worst on the day after your treatment and last for about a week or so. You may also experience bruising or numbness in the treated area which will go away.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: There is no “cookie cutter” protocol for Kybella. Every person has their own problem area. The amount of fat and the disposition of the fat will vary from person to person.
Most people who are candidates will need at least 2 treatments (spaced out 6 weeks apart) and 2-3 vials of Kybella at each session.
Q: When will I see results?
A: Typically you can start to see results from the first treatment in 4-6 weeks. Due to the fact that you will most likely be treating again at the 6 week mark (and, thus, swelling again) expect to begin to see results about 4 weeks after the 2nd treatment. You will continue to see improvement for up to 3 months after your last session.
Q: What is the cost of the treatment?
A: It depends on how many treatments and vials are needed to achieve your results.
The typical cost per vial is $500. However, we will be running package pricing specials at our Chin Chat event January 19th.
Q: What about the skin afterwards?
A: Many people ask if the skin overlying the fat will become loose if the fat is removed. In our professional experience, we have found this not to be the case. We believe it is because the inflammatory reaction that occurs which stimulates collagen formation in the area and keeps the overlying skin tight.
*However, if there is no fat below the chin area and all you have is loose skin-this would not be the right treatment for you.
