How Do I Remove My Double Chin?

Kybella™ Double-Chin Treatment

Kybella® is a synthetic formulation of deoxycholic acid, a substance found naturally occurring in the body, which is synthesized and then used to break down and absorb dietary fat. When deoxycholic acid is injected directly into the submental fat under the chin, the fat-storing adipose tissue is destroyed.

But how do I remove my double chin?

Over time, the fat cells are removed from the treated area via the body’s natural metabolic processes. The result is a more streamlined neck and improved contour along the jaw line.

The best thing about Kybella®? The results are permanent. The body metabolizes the destroyed adipocytes (fat cells) over the next six to eight weeks. Unlike Liposuction, the fat will not redistribute, but most patients will need multiple sessions (up to six), spaced at least a month apart to see the most optimal results.

Many clients come to Dr. Hong Med Spa with issues of full upper necks or double chins that, despite their best efforts, give them the appearance of being older and generally heavier. The Kybella® Double-Chin Treatment provided by Dr. Hong Med Spa offers a solution to this common issue.

Dr. Hong injects Kybella® using cannula into the areas of maximum fullness. There is a bit more downtime associated with Kybella® compared to Botox® or dermal filler. You can expect a 36-hour period of swelling that truly peaks 12 hours post-procedure. Once the swelling resolves, improvement can be seen in the contour areas of the face.
