Does your ‘turkey neck’ bother you? You do not have to learn how to live with it. Especially if you detest surgery and its unwanted effects. At Dermatology Consultants of South Florida, we offer a non-surgical double chin removal known as Kybella®. It is a fat dissolving injection that sounds too good to be true. Here is all you need to know about Kybella®.
What Is Kybella®?
Kybella® is a relatively new FDA-approved drug. It is also known as deoxycholic acid that the body produces naturally. When injected into submental fat, it destroys the fat cells thus improving your profile. Once dissolved, these cells can no longer accumulate or store fat. After achieving your desired aesthetic goal, no further non-surgical double chin removal will be done.
How Is Kybella® Administered?
Non-surgical double chin removal usually involves an injection of Kybella® into your skin. After the application of topical anaesthesia, a cosmetic dermatologist will inject several areas under your chin. The entire treatment will take around 15 to 20 minutes.
How Many Treatment Sessions Will You Need?
Most patients experience visible results after two to four treatment sessions that are one month apart. However, each patient is different. The appropriate treatment regimen is done based on the desired chin profile and the patient’s evaluation.
Is There Any Downtime?
A significant benefit that non-surgical double chin removal has to offer is that there is no recovery period. Furthermore, it has little to no side effects. After a treatment session, you can go back to your daily activities. You, however, should avoid touching the area that has been treated.
Who Is the Best Candidate?
The best candidate for non-surgical double chin is anyone who wants to get rid of the ‘turkey’ look. Also, the elasticity of the skin plays a significant role in the results that you will have. A person with very loose skin like those seen in old people usually limit the results they expect. Furthermore, a perfect candidate should be in good health, not allergic to any of the ingredients in Kybella® and should not be pregnant. Consult a certified dermatological specialist who will examine and tell you if you are the perfect candidate.
