Using Kybella for Non-Surgical Double Chin Removal

Why do you look older now than you did a few years ago? When you look at a picture of yourself today and you compare it to a picture of yourself 20 years ago, do you see a drastic difference? Can you pinpoint the changes? It’s likely that you have a few more wrinkles, maybe you have a few gray hairs, and maybe you have a little bit less facial volume then you did in youth. However, if you take the time to closely examine your photographs, you may notice that one of the biggest changes in your face is the collection of fat you now have underneath your chin. This may be one of the primary reasons why you look older. Many people are using Kybella® for non-surgical double chin removal, and it could work for you!

The reason why Kybella® is so popular is that it is safe and effective. There is nothing that you can do to pinpoint or target the fat underneath your chin on your own. There’s no diet you can use that targets submental fat. No exercises can thin or tighten up the area underneath your chin. For this reason, under-the-chin fat is some of the hardest fat to lose.

In times past, the only option that was available for a person who wanted to address their double chin was to have liposuction. There are enough horror stories about liposuction to see why many people who wanted to lose their double chin opted not to go that route.

Kybella® is a non-surgical option. It is a minimally-invasive treatment that requires the use of strategic injections of deoxycholic acid to get rid of unwanted fat. Deoxycholic acid is an acid that is created by your body. It’s what your stomach uses to help break down certain fat that you have in your body.

When deoxycholic acid is injected into the areas underneath your chin, it immediately begins to attack fat cells. It compromises the external structure of the fat cell, eventually leading to its death. When the fat cells underneath your chin are eliminated, your lymphatic system kicks into gear. Your lymphatic system gradually removes the unwanted cellular debris.

The results from Kybella® take some time to be clearly seen. However, after this time has passed, you’ll be left with a facial profile that you can be proud to show to the world.
