Do you have stubborn fat below the chin (aka a double chin) that you would like to get rid of? Although a double chin is a small area it can be a big problem, but if you are not interested in a surgical fix, you may be wondering if you can remove fat from under your chin without cosmetic surgery.
A double chin is one of those areas that can be very difficult to shrink, even with diet and exercise, because it’s almost impossible to spot reduce it.
Can I Remove Fat From Under My Chin Without Surgery?
Yes, you can remove fat under your chin with Kybella injectable treatment. Kybella is an FDA approved treatment for moderate-to-severe submental fat.
Kybella is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which is a substance that occurs naturally in the body, and assists with the breakdown of dietary fat.
During Kybella treatment a tiny needle is used to inject the drug into the subcutaneous fat below the chin. Kybella breaks apart the membrane of the fat cells, and the cellular debris is then removed from the body through the lymphatic system.
Who is a good candidate for Kybella?
Kybella is ideal for men and women with moderate-to-severe submental fullness. Candidates for Kybella should also have good skin elasticity in the neck area, and be otherwise healthy. Kybella is not recommended for patients that have skin laxity along with excess fat under the chin, because it does not tighten the skin (click here to learn more).
