A double chin, also known as submental fullness, is a condition that develops when you have excess fat under your chin. This issue, which can be caused by weight gain, genetics, and aging, can make you look older and heavier than you really are. Fortunately, you don’t have to fix your double chin on your own. At Premiere Aesthetics in Fort Myers, Florida, we can give you a slimmer profile with Kybella.

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is an injectable product that minimizes your double chin by removing unwanted fat in this area. This FDA-approved product is excellent at reducing your unwanted fat and contouring your profile in a minimally invasive manner. Your treatment will be quick and comfortable, and you will have minimal to no downtime after you receive your injections.

How It Works

This treatment uses a synthetic form of a substance known as deoxycholic acid to minimize your double chin. This acid, which is naturally found in your body, helps your digestive system process dietary fat. After we inject the product into the excess fat under your chin, the acid will kill many of the fat cells in this area.

Over time, your body will clear away these dead cells using natural methods. As your body removes these cells, your profile will become slimmer and your double chin will become less noticeable.

What Is the Injection Process Like?

Since the injection process is very gentle, you don’t have to visit the hospital or use general anesthesia during your appointment. Instead, we will administer this product in our office in Fort Myers.

We will inject the solution into targeted locations under your chin. Although your injections will be customized, this part of your treatment usually lasts for fifteen to twenty minutes. Once we have completed your injections, you can drive yourself home or return to your office. Although you can immediately return to your job and other tasks, you should avoid engaging in rigorous exercise for a few days.

How Many Treatments Will I Receive?

The number of treatments that you need will depend on the amount of fat that you have under your chin, the improvements that you are trying to achieve, and your body’s response to this treatment. That said, you are likely to need multiple treatment sessions to achieve your desired look.

In fact, the majority of people in clinical studies of this product received six treatment sessions. To give your body time to respond to your injections, you must wait at least a month between each treatment session.

How Long Will This Treatment Take to Improve My Double Chin?

This treatment does not create instant results. Instead, your body will flush out your dead fat cells in the weeks after you receive your initial injections. After you receive additional treatment sessions, your body will remove more fat cells from under your chin. Your profile will gradually improve during this time.

Does This Treatment Really Work?

It’s normal to feel skeptical when you hear about a treatment that can improve your double chin in a minimally invasive manner. But you should feel confident when you decide to use Kybella to enhance your profile.

Scientific studies show that this treatment produces noticeable, consistent results. In clinical trials, the majority of people had noticeable improvements in their double chins after they received four treatment sessions.

Will This Treatment Permanently Remove My Double Chin?

This treatment is an ideal way to achieve long-lasting improvements in your profile. Your overall number of fat cells is mostly set by the time that you become an adult. This injectable treatment will reduce your total number of fat cells by destroying some of the excess fat cells under your chin. After your body clears these cells away, they will be gone for good.

As a result, you should not need follow-up injections after you have completed your treatment plan. That said, this treatment will not remove all of the fat under your chin. If you gain unwanted fat in the future, the remaining fat cells under your chin will become larger, and your double chin may return. To maintain your new profile, you should exercise regularly and eat balanced meals.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for This Treatment?

If you feel self-conscious or upset about your double chin, this treatment might be right for you. In fact, this injectable product is an ideal way to eliminate a double chin that you haven’t been able to reduce with diet and exercise changes. Further, since this injectable product is minimally invasive, you may be a good candidate for this treatment even if you are not eligible for an invasive procedure like liposuction.

To ensure that this treatment is right for you, we will examine your neck and chin. We will also talk about your overall health. Since certain medical conditions can affect your treatment, you should inform us about any health issues that you have. For instance, you cannot receive this treatment while you have an infection in your target area.
