Kybella™
For those unhappy with excess fat under the chin, Kybella™ is a new injectable solution that can effectively reduce the fullness for a more contoured profile.
Having what is known as a “double chin” is an extremely common cosmetic concern. It can affect the entire facial aesthetic and tends to make people feel self-conscious about their appearance. While the problem can be due to lax skin or loose platysmal bands, a double chin can also be caused by excess fatty tissue.
Although this has always been treated with surgery, like liposuction or a neck lift, Dr. W. Matthew White is pleased to offer the first and only non-surgical treatment of Kybella™.
This innovative injectable treatment is FDA-approved to reduce excess fat under the chin (also known as submental fullness). Kybella™ has been shown to create a more defined facial contour with an improved profile, eliminating the unwanted appearance of a double chin.
The injectable is composed of deoxycholic acid, which occurs naturally in the body to break down dietary fat. It works by dissolving the targeted fat tissue, which is then removed through metabolic processes.
