Do you think liposuction is the only way to get rid of that embarrassing double chin? We have some exciting news at Ridgewood Plastic Surgery! With Kybella® injections, you can reduce your double chin. Yes, that’s correct! The procedure does not require surgery, downtime, or scarring. Relax and watch the fat melt away.

Kybella is a non-surgical injectable treatment that is used to reduce the appearance of fat under the chin, also known as submental fat or “double chin.” It is made of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps to break down and absorb dietary fat. Kybella is injected into the fat under the chin using a fine needle, and it works by destroying the fat cells in the area. The destroyed fat cells are then naturally eliminated by the body, resulting in a reduction in the appearance of submental fat.

Kybella treatments are typically administered in a series of injections spaced several weeks apart. The number of treatments needed can vary depending on the individual’s specific treatment goals and the amount of fat under the chin.

A slight amount of tenderness and bleeding may occur at each injection site. Some swelling may last for 3-5 days. There is no need for downtime. It may take 15 to 30 minutes to complete your appointment, and then you can go about your day as usual. Up to 16 weeks may be required for full results.
