There are several options for individuals who have unwanted fat under the chin and jawline. The most common and most predictable treatment is liposuction. However for those individuals who aren’t interested in surgery, Kybella can be an acceptable alternative. Kybella is injected with a very fine needle into the fat layers under the skin. It will lysis and destroy the fat cells in the targeted submental area. These submental fat cells will not return. The amount of fullness in the chin area usually dictates how much of the Kybella product is injected and how many injection sessions are required to produce an acceptable cosmetic result. For these reasons, it is important to see a board certified facial plastic surgeon for your treatment.

How do I know if I am potential candidate for Kybella?

Are you concerned with fullness in the chin area? The area under the chin is also referred to as the submental area. Fullness under the chin or submental fullness can distract from a balanced and harmonious facial appearance leading to an older and heavier look. Both men and women can be affected by fullness under the chin.

Why do I have fat under my chin?

This accumulation of fat cells under the chin is influenced by a number of factors including aging, genetics and weight gain. We often hear from patients that the fullness in their chin areas can be traced back for generations.

What are my options for correcting chin fat?

Unfortunately these submental fat calls are often times resistant to the changes that can occur with diet and exercise which makes the assistance of a board certified facial plastic surgeon necessary. With advancements in modern medicine and technology there are now several different treatment options which may help you feel more comfortable with your chin area.

Submental liposuction

Until recently, liposuction has been the principle option for removing unwanted fat collections in both the submental area (double chin) and elsewhere in the body. Submental (under the chin) liposuction involves a surgical procedure which can often be done under local anesthetic, in an accredited facility, as an outpatient. This particular submental liposuction procedure requires minimal recovery time of no more than two days. Patients are unlikely to have excessive swelling or bruising with the submental liposuction procedure.

Removal of double chin fat and tightening of the loose skin

In addition to unwanted chin fullness, some patients will also have excessive looseness of the skin under the chin. This skin envelope may not contract completely after submental liposuction. In this case patients may require skin lifting in conjunction with the submental liposuction, or patients may benefit from an Ulthera Ultrasound Tightening treatment. An Ulthera skin treatment after submental liposuction does not add any additional time to the recovery. Both submental liposuction and Ulthera are relatively painless procedures that complement each other to produce a marked result. Ulthera is the only FDA tested and approved non-surgical skin tightening treatment.

Kybella

Individuals who are averse to having surgery may find Kybella to be an acceptable alternative for the removal of their double chin. Kybella is injected with a very fine needle into the fat layers under the skin. It will lysis and destroy the fat cells in the targeted submental area (double chin). These submental fat cells will not return. The amount of fullness in the chin area usually dictates how much of the Kybella product is injected and how many injection sessions are required to produce an acceptable cosmetic result.

Kybella patients will likely experience swelling and mild discomfort initially. Both of these side effects typically resolve quickly. Bruising, numbness and slight redness are also known to occur. Most patients require between two and three treatments which are spaced about one month apart.

In the initial FDA (Federal Drug Administration) clinical trial study, over sixteen hundred patients worldwide were treated with Kybella. Sixty-eight percent of the “test study” patients responded to Kybella injections and seventy-nine percent reported satisfaction with their cosmetic appearance after their injection.

Which treatment is the best for removing chin fullness?

Unwanted fat under the chin can be treated successfully with several different treatment options. Which option is right for you is dictated by a number of factors. Some of these factors include the desired or expected improvement and available downtime. During your consultation and examination appointment, Dr. Stephen Nogan will listen to your concerns, discuss the benefits and risks of the available treatment options, and recommend a treatment plan customized to your needs. The expected results for each treatment will also be discussed as our goal is to meet your expectations within the limitations of each treatment.

Welcome to Columbus Facial Plastics at The Sullivan Centre.

We believe that healthy, youthful renewal begins with science. Founded in 1996 by Dr. Michael and Christine Sullivan, our practice was the first of its kind in central Ohio. For 20+ years, The Sullivan Centre has led the way in advancing the science of beauty and providing only the safest and most effective surgical and non-surgical treatments for our patients.

I met Dr. Mike, Dr. Chris and the rest of the team in 2014 and have had the incredible opportunity to train and collaborate with Dr. Mike for the past five years. I officially joined The Sullivan Centre in September 2019 and could not be more excited to lead this exceptional practice into the future.

My goal is to provide you with the education and expertise needed to help you feel confident with your decision to pursue surgical or non-surgical treatment. I am proud to be a part of a highly skilled team that delivers personalized care so that you feel comfortable through every step of the process.

In addition to practicing exclusively in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, I also serve as the medical director for our non-surgical services. We are fortunate to have two of the most experienced aesthetic providers in central Ohio in their respective fields. Dina Maynard and Nancy Cotterman, RN have been caring for patients at The Sullivan Centre for a combined 25 years! You won’t find anyone with more training or skill.
