Kybella

Chin Ups

When you look in the mirror do you see excess fat, or “double chin,” in your lower face? This is cosmetic condition affects many men and women, and it's in an area of the body which difficult to target with diet and exercise alone. For patients who are seeking a non-surgical remedy to lifting and improving their chin contours, Privvy Modern Health offers Kybella® injectable treatments.

What Is Submental Fullness?

Submental Fullness is a nice way of saying excess fat underneath the chin. This can be caused by a variety of factors including weight gain, genetics, and aging. Nearly 70 percent of men and women reported feeling dissatisfaction with this excess chin fat (American Society for Dermatologic Surgery survey). Kybella® is approved by the FDA for the non-surgical correction of moderate to severe submental fullness.

What Is Kybella®?

Kybella® is derived from deoxycholic acid, which is found in the body and aids in the absorption and the breakdown of dietary fat. When injected into the fatty tissues underneath the chin, Kybella® permanently disables fat cells from accumulating or storing fat, which leads to lifted contours under the chin and a more appealing facial profile.

Some of the main features of Kybella® are:

  • Fast treatments and short appointments

  • Zero downtime

  • Minimal side effects

  • Visible results after just two to four sessions for most patients

  • High rate of patient satisfaction

What Can I Expect After Treatment?

Slight redness, bruising, and swelling can occur at injection sites but should subside within a day or so. Depending on your condition, you should begin to notice visible results after anywhere from two to four sessions, and these treatments can be administered without any disruption to normal activities. Proper diet and exercise can help add longevity to your results, as weight gain can potentially reverse your improved chin contours.

Kybella® is not necessarily for everyone. During your consultation with Dr. Prieto, she will evaluate several factors such as your health, medical history, aesthetic goals, and treatment expectations to help you determine if Kybella® is right for you.
