A double chin is common with people as they age and have excess fat under the chin.

What is Kybella®?

Kybella® is a prescription injectable that is FDA approved to remove excess fat underneath the chin. As the only approved injectable to treat this issue, Kybella® is injected just below the surface of the skin to break up excess fat and create a longer, leaner neck.

What Happens During a Kybella® Injection?

When getting double chin injections, the prescription medication is injected just below the surface of the skin into the excess fat. The main ingredient is synthetic deoxycholic acid, is a form of a naturally occurring substance in the body that destroys fat cells. When this happens, the cells no longer store or accumulate fat. With Kybella®, the fat reduction gives the chin and neckline a long and lean look.

Treatments take no more than an hour to complete (including any preparation), with results becoming truly noticeable within three to four weeks following each injection. Patients typically receive two to four double chin injections to achieve their desired look.

Procedure Preparation

When preparing for treatments, it is important to cease taking any medications or supplements that thin the blood, such as NSAIDs, aspirin, and supplements like Vitamin E or Ginkgo Biloba to decrease potential bruising. Additionally, a freshly cleaned face and neck are necessary.

Recovery

There is no downtime or recovery with Kybella®. Most patients simply return to what they normally do during the day. In fact, it is common to turn a lunch hour into a Kybella® treatment. There may be some slight redness at the injection site, but this clears up usually within a day.

How Much Does It Cost in Charlotte?

Treatment costs are different for each patient. They are based on the extent of the area to be treated, whether treatments are performed in conjunction with another treatment, and how many treatments are needed to achieve the desired look. Because Kybella® is considered a cosmetic treatment (not medically necessary) and insurance does not typically provide coverage, we offer financing through CareCredit®.

Is It Right for Me?

If you have issues with wearing turtlenecks or feel like your neck hangs over your collar and tie, you may want to consider Kybella®. It is FDA approved to treat people with a double chin by breaking up the fat that deposits under the chin and around the neck area.

Consultation

During your consultation, Dr. Stephen Giordano or one of the members of his staff meets with you to discuss your concerns and evaluate your neck area. After talking with you about your current health and medical history, he offers a recommendation of treatment to help you get the look you want. If you have any questions, he is more than happy to answer them in detail.
