Kybella

Effective Kybella Treatments in Columbus for Non-Surgical Double Chin Reduction and Jowling

 

Are you bothered by fullness under your chin? You’re not alone. Submental fullness, commonly known as a “double
chin,” affects both men and women and can be influenced by aging, genetics and weight gain. Kybella is the first and
only FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin for a more sculpted jawline.

At Columbus Facial Plastics, our expert injectors use Kybella to help patients achieve a sleeker, more youthful neck
profile without surgery or downtime. Discover how Kybella can boost your confidence and help you love your look from
every angle.

What is Kybella?

Kybella is a prescription injectable containing synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule that naturally occurs in the body
and aids in the breakdown of dietary fat. When injected beneath the chin or the jowls, Kybella permanently destroys fat
cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness.

What to Expect During Kybella Treatment

Your Kybella treatment will be performed in our comfortable Columbus office. After cleansing the area, your provider
will administer a series of quick injections under the chin using a fine needle. Most patients report a mild burning
or stinging sensation during the injections.

The number of injections needed will depend on the amount and distribution of submental fat. Treatment sessions
typically take 15-20 minutes to complete.

Immediately after treatment, you may experience temporary swelling, bruising, numbness, redness and tenderness under
the chin. This is normal and can be managed with ice packs and over-the-counter pain medication. While some patients
see results after 2 treatments, most require 3-6 treatments spaced at least 1 month apart for optimal fat reduction.

Over the weeks following your Kybella treatment, you’ll notice a gradual improvement in your chin profile as fat
cells are flushed from the body. Once eliminated, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat, so further treatment
is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

Am I a Candidate for Kybella?

Kybella may be right for you if:

• You’re bothered by fat under the chin (submental fullness) or the jowls
• You feel your chin makes you look older or heavier than you are
• You eat well and exercise but submental fullness doesn’t go away
• You don’t want surgery to correct your double chin
• You have good skin elasticity without excessive loose skin under the chin

The best way to determine if Kybella is right for you is to schedule a consultation with one of our expert
providers. We’ll evaluate your concerns, review your medical history and recommend the most effective treatment plan
to achieve your goals.

Kybella vs. Other Double Chin Treatments

While Kybella is an excellent option for non-surgical fat reduction under the chin, it’s not the only solution.
Liposuction and CoolSculpting are two other popular treatments for submental fullness. Here’s how they compare:

• Liposuction: Surgical procedure that removes fat through a thin tube called a cannula. Liposuction
  offers more dramatic results with a single treatment but involves downtime.
• CoolSculpting: Non-invasive treatment that freezes and destroys fat cells. CoolSculpting is painless
  but may require multiple treatments and results appear more gradually.
• Kybella: Minimally-invasive injectable that chemically breaks down fat cells. Kybella involves minimal
  downtime but may cause temporary swelling and numbness.

Our providers will help you decide which treatment is best for your unique needs and goals. In some cases, a
combination of procedures may deliver optimal results.
