Kybella
Kybella injections are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a "double chin." The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. Here's an overview of the procedure:
How It Works:
Consultation and office visits included
-
Deoxycholic Acid: When injected into the submental area, deoxycholic acid destroys fat cells. The body then metabolizes and eliminates these cells, leading to a more contoured chin and jawline.
Procedure:
-
Consultation: The process typically begins with a consultation with a qualified healthcare provider, such as a dermatologist or plastic surgeon, to determine if Kybella is suitable for you.
-
Injections: During the procedure, a series of small injections are administered under the chin. The number of injections depends on the amount of fat and the desired outcome.
-
Sessions: Most patients require multiple sessions, typically spaced about a month apart, with each session involving 20-50 injections in the targeted area. Up to six treatment sessions may be needed for optimal results.
Recovery:
Consultation and office visits included
-
Downtime: The recovery time is minimal, but patients may experience swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area. These side effects usually subside within a few days to a week.
-
Results: Results are gradual and can be seen after a few weeks, with full effects typically visible after 2-4 treatment sessions.
Benefits:
-
Non-Surgical: Kybella offers a non-invasive alternative to procedures like liposuction, without the need for anesthesia or significant downtime.
-
Permanent Results: Once the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot store or accumulate fat, making the results permanent as long as the patient maintains a stable weight.
Considerations:
Consultation and office visits included
-
Suitability: Kybella is best suited for patients with moderate to severe submental fat. It's not recommended for those with loose skin or poor skin elasticity.
-
Side Effects: Common side effects include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area. More serious but rare side effects include trouble swallowing or nerve injury that can cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness.
Cost:
-
Pricing: The cost of Kybella varies depending on the provider, location, and the number of treatment sessions needed. On average, each session can cost between $500 to $1,800.
