Kybella Double Chin Treatment

Kybella Double Chin Treatment in San Francisco

About Kybella

Kybella is designed to reduce the volume in the chin area by destroying fat cells, which in turn eliminates the submental fat. The injectable treatment is made of deoxycholic acid, which breaks down the fat cells in the target area. Once the fat is metabolized, it is then gradually and naturally eliminated by the body. Because the fat cells are destroyed, fat can no longer be stored there nor return, resulting in a slender, more beautiful jawline and neck.

Kybella Treatment for Double Chin

Treatment with Kybella involves several injection sessions — usually between two to six over the course of several weeks. The exact number of sessions will ultimately depend on the amount of unwanted submental fat you have and your desired results. Dr. Bermudez can perform each session in about 20 minutes in his office.

To begin the treatment, Dr. Bermudez will prepare the targeted area by applying a topical solution to minimize discomfort. He will then use tiny syringes to inject the product, focusing on the areas that contain the most excess fat. Treatment with Kybella is virtually painless; most patients report feeling a warm sensation as the injection works to dissolve the neck fat.

Recovering from Kybella

Because there is little to no downtime with Kybella, you are free to return to work or your regular activities a couple of days after treatment. Immediately following treatment, you may experience slight bruising, redness and mild burning or stinging and swelling on your chin and neck. You may also feel some nodules after a few days following your treatment. These side effects are temporary and should dissipate within three to four weeks.

Once the swelling has gone down, you will begin to see an improvement in the appearance of your chin and neck area. It typically takes three to four sessions every six weeks for most patients to achieve their desired results. Depending on how much chin fat you have, you may need up to six sessions to see optimal results.
