How Does It Work?
Kybella is a process that involves the injection of deoxycholic acid, which will break down the fat and fat cells around the chin. The residual fat after the acid has affected it will be safely absorbed and processed by your body. However, it is more than just a miracle injection, it has to be planned out and used through a template to ensure that the fat reduction is gradual and even across the chin. Otherwise, the overall contour of your jaw and chin could seem disproportionate to each other. This is why you need to have this procedure done by a trained professional physician like our wonderful Dr. Doyle.
Who Is It for?
As we mentioned prior, this procedure is perfect for anyone looking to get rid of stubborn fat around their jawline. We encourage that this procedure only be used if weight loss has already occurred/been attempted. It is impossible to directly target which area of your body you want to lose weight. It is genetic in terms of where you will lose weight from exercise first, so if you cannot seem to lose it around your jawline, then Kybella could be your solution. It is also important to attempt weight loss prior as it may allow for fewer injections to be done.
How Long Do the Results Last?
This procedure offers lifetime results as it entirely removes fat cells from the area. However, weight gain can still happen in other areas of the face which may lead to a disproportionate appearance. Which is why it is so important to maintain your healthy weight afterward. Also, optimal results may take anywhere from two to six different injections which will be decided between you and Dr. Doyle.
