Excess fat underneath the chin is a common issue impacting many men and women. This fat, which provides the appearance of a double chin, can be caused by a variety of factors including age, genetics, or weight gain. In many instances, it won’t respond to your diet and exercise efforts.
Dr. Fitzgerald offers Kybella, a non-surgical injectable treatment that will help eliminate the appearance of a double chin. Kybella destroys fat cells at the treatment site while leaving the surface skin untouched. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they’re eliminated by your body’s natural processes.
In most instances, you will need a series of 4-6 treatments spaced one month apart to achieve optimal results. During each session, your Kybella injection will continue to gradually eliminate a little more fat until your desired outcome is visible. Patients often note that they not only look younger but also feel younger!
You’ll experience a variety of benefits from your Kybella treatment, including:
While you achieve permanent results from your procedure, it’s still possible for the remaining fat cells under your chin to grow if you gain weight in the future. To ensure you maintain your desired appearance long-term, it’s important to maintain healthy body weight and wear sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.
