We often see patients at Singer Cosmetics who are bothered by the fullness beneath their chin [submental fat]. Submental fat may be difficult to reduce, even with diet and exercise.
In a 2017 survey conducted by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery, 73% of people said they are bothered by the fat beneath their chin/neck. See highlights from the ASDS survey HERE.
KYBELLA® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin by physically destroying the fat cells. The results speak for themselves! Click HERE to see images of KYBELLA® results.
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into the fat beneath your chin, KYBELLA® causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. Fat cleared from the treatment area is processed through your body’s natural metabolism.
This will be determined at a consultation in our office. The number of treatments depends on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal goals. Up to six treatments may be administered, which are typically less than one month apart.
When injected into the fat under your chin, KYBELLA® causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. After we have reached your aesthetic goal vìs-a-vìs your chin/neck, it is not expected that you will need another treatment.
