Discover an unparalleled solution for double chin reduction with KYBELLA® at Millefiori Aesthetics. Led by board-certified expert Iris Graham, our team offers this non-surgical treatment to help you achieve a more defined jawline and renewed confidence.
KYBELLA is the only FDA-approved injectable for adults that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve the profile. After a series of injections, the results are permanent. Put your best chin forward with KYBELLA.
Is KYBELLA Right for You?
- Are you self-conscious about the fat under your chin, also known as sub-mental fullness or double chin?
- Do you feel the area under your chin makes you feel heavier or older than you really are?
- Do you want to avoid invasive surgical interventions, such as liposuction?
- Are you a healthy person who eats well and exercises but still has excess fat under the chin area?
If you said “yes” to any of these questions, KYBELLA could be the perfect solution!
How Does KYBELLA Work?
The active ingredient in KYBELLA is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
What to Expect with Your KYBELLA Treatment?
At Millefiori, we schedule a complimentary consultation for all patients interested in KYBELLA. You will be evaluated by our Physician Assistant and owner, Iris Graham. She will determine if KYBELLA is right for you. She will then customize a treatment plan specific to your needs.
How Is KYBELLA Administered?
Only a trained professional, like those at Millefiori, can administer the treatment. After an evaluation, you’ll go through these steps:
- The injector will mark the area with a pencil.
- They will apply a stencil to determine the amount of the medication needed.
- They will apply ice to help with the initial sting of the needle and swelling.
At each session, you will receive multiple small injections of the medication into the chin area. The injection process takes about 15-20 minutes. The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat under the chin and your desired profile.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Since everyone’s chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your injector will help determine how many sessions you need based on the amount of submental fat and your goals.Â
Each KYBELLA treatment is done at least 1 month apart. This allows time for the medication to work and the swelling to subside. The average number of treatments patients receive is between two and four. The maximum number you can undergo in a year is six.
FAQs
KYBELLA is considered a permanent solution for submental fat. There are some caveats, though.
Maintaining the results depends on your lifestyle and weight management. The treated fat cells are permanently removed. However, gaining weight after the procedure can expand the remaining fat cells in the area. This will potentially alter the effects.
The time it takes to see results from KYBELLA varies. However, most patients notice visible improvements within 4 to 6 weeks after their first session. This time allows the body to metabolize and eliminate the destroyed fat cells.
Keep in mind that most people need several appointments for optimal outcomes. Full results often become visible around 12 weeks after the final treatment.
Individual factors can also influence how soon results appear, including:
- The amount of submental fat you have
- Your body’s response to the injections
- Adherence to aftercare instructions
Rest assured, the process is gradual, but the outcome is transformative and long-lasting.
KYBELLA can come with some side effects, but they are generally mild to moderate and temporary. The most common side effects include:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Redness
- Tenderness or pain
- Numbness
Most side effects resolve on their own within 1 to 2 weeks. A skilled, experienced practitioner like those at Millefiori Aesthetics can also reduce the risk of complications.
If you have any special events coming up, such as a wedding, be sure to discuss the timeline with your injector.
KYBELLA generally comes with minimal downtime. Some people may experience side effects that can affect their everyday activities for a few days, though.
Here are some factors to consider when booking your appointment:
- Swelling: This is the most noticeable side effect and may last several days to a few weeks. Many patients choose to schedule their treatment when they can take a day or two off from work or social events.
- Activity: You may want to avoid strenuous activities for 24–48 hours post-treatment. This helps to reduce swelling and bruising.
- Returning to Work: Most people feel comfortable returning to work the next day.
KYBELLA and liposuction both target fat removal. They differ in their approach, invasiveness, and recovery.
- Method: KYBELLA is a non-surgical injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid to dissolve fat. Liposuction is a surgery that removes fat through a small incision and suction.
- Invasiveness: KYBELLA is minimally invasive and does not require anesthesia or incisions. Liposuction is invasive, often requiring local or general anesthesia.
- Recovery: KYBELLA has little downtime. Liposuction involves more downtime, with bruising and soreness lasting weeks to months.
- Results: KYBELLA delivers gradual results over several sessions. Liposuction provides immediate results after recovery.
KYBELLA suits those seeking a non-surgical option. Meanwhile, liposuction is ideal for individuals wanting more dramatic and immediate fat removal.
