Among the most frustrating and discouraging cosmetic concerns for men and women alike is having a double chin. When diet and exercise fail to reduce stubborn fat under the chin, cosmetic surgery can certainly help. However, many patients are unable or unwilling to undergo an invasive surgical procedure. For these patients, achieving a smoother, firmer, slimmer neckline is still possible thanks to KYBELLA®, a revolutionary injectable product designed to destroy double chin fat. Board-certified physician Dr. Christy Watson and the expert team at Body Bar MD are proud to offer KYBELLA under chin fat injections at both of their convenient locations in Terre Haute and Carmel, IN. Learn more about KYBELLA here, including what results you can expect after treatment and how long they may last.
What is KYBELLA used for?
KYBELLA is an exciting and innovative cosmetic injectable that aims to target and destroy stubborn fat cells in the upper neck and under the chin. Patients who struggle with the appearance of a double chin that does not respond to consistent diet and exercise can benefit greatly by the fat reduction properties of KYBELLA injections. Furthermore, KYBELLA offers the unique opportunity to lose neck fat and achieve a slimmer, firmer neckline without the expense and downtime associated with traditional cosmetic surgery.
How does KYBELLA work?
During KYBELLA treatment, which can be performed in as little as 15 minutes, patients will sit comfortably in one of our treatment rooms. While KYBELLA is not particularly painful, Dr. Kristy typically applies a topical numbing agent to help minimize any discomfort during the treatment. Finally, a series of strategic KYBELLA injections will be administered to the patient’s upper neck and double chin area.
When will I see results after KYBELLA injections?
Patients should begin to notice an improvement in their double chin about 4 – 6 weeks after KYBELLA injections, though the full results can take up to six months to develop as the body absorbs the destroyed fat cells and the neck begins to show its newly slim contour.
How many KYBELLA injections do you need for double chin removal?
The majority of patients are able to achieve their ideal results after a single KYBELLA session. For patients with a larger volume of stubborn fat, a second or subsequent round of KYBELLA injections may be needed.
How long does KYBELLA last?
The fat cells destroyed with KYBELLA will not return to the body. However, remaining fat cells can become enlarged with weight gain, and new fat cells can also be generated. For this reason, it is critical that patients considering KYBELLA are committed to maintaining a healthy and stable weight in order to preserve their KYBELLA results.
Should I get neck lipo or KYBELLA?
The choice between surgical neck liposuction and nonsurgical KYBELLA injections is ultimately up to the patient and the provider’s recommendations. While neck liposuction can certainly produce stunning and long-lasting results, some patients prefer a less invasive alternative. However, patients with more severe and/or additional concerns, such as loose neck skin along with stubborn neck fat, may be better suited to a combination of surgical neck lift plus liposuction. Ideal candidates for KYBELLA injections should be:
- In good health
- At a healthy, stable weight
- Frustrated by stubborn fat under the chin and on the upper neck
- Attempted to improve their double chin with diet and exercise
- Have good skin elasticity
- Have realistic expectations for their results
- Desire a minimally invasive, nonsurgical alternative to neck lipo
During your initial consultation for KYBELLA in Carmel or Terre Haute, IN, Dr. Kristy will thoroughly evaluate and discuss your concerns in order to determine if you are a good candidate for injectable neck fat reduction.
