Kybella

Kybella at Elevate Medical Center

 

At Elevate Medical Center, we understand how challenging it can be to achieve a defined and contoured jawline, even with diet and exercise. That’s why we offer Kybella, a revolutionary non-surgical treatment designed to eliminate stubborn fat under the chin, commonly known as a double chin. Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that offers a permanent solution to submental fullness, helping you achieve a more sculpted and confident appearance.

 

What Is Kybella?

 

Kybella is an injectable treatment that contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When Kybella is injected into the fat beneath the chin, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they cannot store or accumulate fat, making Kybella a permanent solution for reducing submental fullness.

 

Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing fat under the chin. It’s a safe and effective option for those looking to improve their chin profile without undergoing surgery.

 

How Does Kybella Work?

 

Kybella works by targeting and destroying the fat cells in the submental area, the region under the chin. The treatment involves a series of injections that deliver the deoxycholic acid directly into the fat cells. Here’s how the process works:

 

    1.    Consultation: During your initial consultation at Elevate Medical Center, our experienced provider will assess your chin profile, discuss your goals, and determine if Kybella is the right treatment for you. We’ll also explain the procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have.

    2.    Treatment Plan: If you’re a good candidate for Kybella, a customized treatment plan will be created based on the amount of fat under your chin and your desired results. Most patients require a series of treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart.

    3.    Injection Process: During the treatment, a grid pattern is marked on the area under your chin to guide the injections. The Kybella solution is then carefully injected into the targeted fat cells. The number of injections and sessions needed varies depending on the individual’s anatomy and the amount of fat being treated.

    4.    Results: Over the next few weeks, the treated fat cells are gradually broken down and eliminated by the body’s natural processes. As the fat cells are removed, the area under your chin becomes more contoured and defined. Most patients begin to see noticeable results after two to four treatment sessions, with full results typically visible after six months.

    5.    Aftercare: Following the treatment, some patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort in the treated area. These side effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days. We’ll provide you with aftercare instructions to help minimize any discomfort and ensure optimal results.

 

Who’s the Right Candidate for Kybella?

 

Kybella is an excellent option for both men and women who are bothered by the appearance of a double chin. The right candidate for Kybella is someone who:

 

    •    Has Submental Fullness: Kybella is specifically designed to treat moderate to severe fat under the chin. It’s ideal for individuals with submental fullness that has not responded to diet and exercise.

    •    Seeks a Non-Surgical Option: Kybella is a great alternative for those who want to avoid the risks and downtime associated with surgical procedures like liposuction or a neck lift.

    •    Is in Good Health: Ideal candidates for Kybella are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the results. It’s important to note that Kybella is not a weight-loss treatment and is not suitable for individuals with loose skin or excessive sagging in the neck area.

    •    Desires a Permanent Solution: Because Kybella destroys fat cells permanently, it’s a great choice for those looking for a long-term solution to a double chin.

 

FDA-Approved Uses and Off-Label Uses

 

Kybella is FDA-approved for the treatment of submental fat, also known as a double chin. This is the primary and most common use of Kybella, as it’s specifically designed to target and eliminate fat under the chin.

 

Off-Label Uses of Kybella

 

While Kybella is FDA-approved for use under the chin, some practitioners use it off-label to target small pockets of fat in other areas of the body. These off-label uses can include:

 

    •    Bra Bulge: Kybella can be used to reduce fat in the area around the bra line, helping to smooth out any bulges.

    •    Jowls: Some providers use Kybella to reduce the appearance of jowls, giving the lower face a more defined contour.

    •    Armpit Fat: Kybella can be used to target fat in the armpit area, which can be a concern for some individuals.

    •    Lower Buttocks: Kybella has been used off-label to treat fat in the lower buttocks area, commonly known as the “banana roll.”

 

It’s important to note that while these off-label uses of Kybella have shown promise, they should only be performed by a qualified and experienced provider who understands the anatomy and risks involved.
