Reduce Stubborn Chin Fat with Kybella in West Palm Beach
What Is Kybella?
Are you bothered by extra fullness under your chin? A double chin, also called submental fullness, can be caused by weight gain, genetics, or aging, and it often resists diet and exercise. Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable medication used to treat excess fat under the chin. At Galiderm Aesthetics in West Palm Beach, FL, Kybella gives patients a non-surgical way to improve the profile of the chin and neck.
The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a version of a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When Kybella is injected beneath the chin, it destroys fat cells in the treated area, which is why results can be long-term.
Benefits of Kybella
- Targets submental fat: Kybella is designed specifically for stubborn fat under the chin.
- Quick treatment: each session takes only 15 to 20 minutes.
- Long-lasting results: treated fat cells are destroyed, so results can last when you maintain a stable weight.
- Little to no downtime: most patients return to their normal routine soon after treatment.
- Non-surgical: there are no incisions, and treatment is performed in our Royal Palm Beach office.
Who Is a Candidate for Kybella?
Healthy individuals who are unhappy with the appearance of fullness under the chin can often benefit from Kybella. Good candidates often feel that their submental fullness makes them look heavier or older than they are, and they prefer a non-surgical option.
Patients who are pregnant or nursing should wait to undergo this treatment. If your main concern is significant loose skin rather than fat, Kybella may not be the best fit on its own. Our provider team will talk with you about other options, including our non-surgical skin tightening treatments.
Your Kybella Consultation
Every Kybella treatment at Galiderm Aesthetics begins with a one-on-one consultation. We review your health history, look closely at the area under your chin, and talk about the results you want. Because the amount of fat and the shape of the chin and neck differ from person to person, there’s no one-size-fits-all plan. Your provider will explain whether Kybella is a good match for your goals and how many sessions may be appropriate for you.
Your consultation is also a good time to ask how Kybella fits with other treatments. Many patients who want a more defined lower face also ask about dermal fillers for the chin and jawline or Botox in West Palm Beach. We’ll help you understand which options address which concerns.
The Kybella Treatment Process
At each Kybella session, you’ll receive multiple small injections under the chin. The exact number of injections depends on the amount of fat in the treatment area. A session takes only 15 to 20 minutes, so it fits easily into a busy day.
Your comfort matters to us. Galiderm offers several comfort options, including Pronox™, topical anesthetics, cryo-cooling, and vibration, and we’ll help you choose what works best for you.
The number of treatments needed varies from patient to patient. Our team will create a personalized treatment plan to help you reach your goals.
Kybella Recovery and Side Effects
Kybella requires little to no downtime. After treatment, you may notice temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness under the chin. These effects are temporary. Your provider will give you aftercare instructions and is available to answer any questions as you heal.
Kybella Results
When performed correctly, Kybella should provide long-term results, because the treated fat cells are destroyed. To maintain your results, it’s important to live a healthy lifestyle and maintain your weight so that your double chin does not return.
