Are you bothered by that pesky submental fullness or a “double chin”? Who isn’t? This troubling spot varies in size according to an individual’s genetics, but it tends to worsen with weight gain and aging. Unfortunately, it’s one of those unsightly areas resistant to improvement by diet and exercise alone. That’s why double chin treatments are so popular among our New Jersey patients.
Only a few treatment methods were available until recently, including surgery. Although it needs surgery, liposuction is the gold standard for fat removal. Non-invasive technologies that successfully freeze or heat tissue elsewhere in the submental region have shown inconsistent outcomes. For the first time, a particular method to treat a double chin has been developed. We are pleased to offer KYBELLA, a recently approved injectable medicine by the FDA, at our New Jersey location.
KYBELLA is great for patients that want to take care of that stubborn double chin who don’t want surgery, don’t have a lot of time, and want proven results. Of course, not every patient is a good candidate for KYBELLA: Some patients will be best treated by liposuction. A formal consultation at Contemporary Plastic Surgery can help you determine whether KYBELLA or surgery is the best option for your desired result.
KYBELLA is made up of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the human digestive tract that breaks down dietary fat. With KYBELLA, it’s been processed into a form designed to dissolve away excess fatty tissue deposits. KYBELLA is injected below the skin directly into the submental fat.
Full correction usually requires 2 to 4 treatments, spaced about 1 month apart. Each session takes about 15 minutes. It’s easy to perform, and it requires no anesthetic. The majority of people experience only minor discomfort at the injection site.
Cost depends entirely on the amount of product and number of treatment sessions required.
