Reduce Your Double Chin Without Lipo
Kybella® from The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics gives you a powerful injectable treatment for reducing a double chin without power-assisted liposuction and other invasive options.
About
Kybella® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce fat beneath the chin, also known as submental fullness or a “double chin.” This minimally invasive procedure uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to break down fat cells.
Kybella treatment works by introducing an enzyme into the subcutaneous fat under the jawline that contributes to a double chin. The enzyme gradually breaks down the fat, which is naturally absorbed and eliminated by the body.
Once treated, the fat is naturally metabolized, leaving you with a slimmer, more contoured jawline. Dr. Baker at The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics specializes in Kybella treatments, providing a non-surgical solution for enhancing your facial profile and boosting your confidence.
Kybella® is ideal for patients who are near their ideal weight and want to reduce fat that starts under the chin and extends to the top of the neck.
Benefits
Kybella offers numerous benefits for those looking to address unwanted fat under the chin:
- Non-surgical treatment: Kybella provides fat reduction without the need for invasive surgery or liposuction.
- No downtime: Most patients can resume their normal activities shortly after the procedure.
- Permanent fat reduction: Once Kybella destroys fat cells, they are permanently removed from the body.
- Improved facial contours: Enjoy a slimmer, more defined jawline and neck area.
- Minimal discomfort: With proper technique and preparation, Kybella injections are relatively painless.
- Customizable treatment: Dr. Baker can tailor the number of treatments to meet your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
Candidates
Kybella is an ideal option for adults who want to reduce excess fat beneath the chin without undergoing surgery. You might be a good candidate for Kybella if you:
- Are bothered by submental fullness or a “double chin” that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise.
- Prefer a non-invasive, injectable treatment to improve your jawline.
- Are in generally good health and have realistic expectations about the results.
- Have stable body weight and are not seeking overall weight loss.
- Have good skin elasticity, as Kybella targets fat, but it doesn’t tighten loose skin.
Kybella is not recommended for individuals with an active infection in the treatment area, significant skin laxity, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Dr. Baker will evaluate your chin area and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if Kybella is the best option for you.
