Kybella®
Reduce Moderate to Severe Fat Below the Chin
Reduce Moderate to Severe Fat Below the Chin
We use Kybella® injections in our Bloomfield, Connecticut practice to dissolve fat cells below the chin (submental fat or “double chin”). Kybella® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness, sometimes referred to as “double chin”. The active ingredient in Kybella® is deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella® breaks down the fat cells. Our medical providers design a treatment plan tailored to achieve the desired chin profile of the patient. During the treatment sessions, Kybella® is administered into the fat under the chin using multiple injections. Many patients experience visible results in 2 to 4 treatment sessions*. Up to 6 treatment sessions may be administered spaced no less than one month apart.
