Say Goodbye to Your Double Chin with Kybella

In the age of social media, you may feel like you’re constantly on display. Unfortunately, you may not feel so confident being the subject of photographs and social media posts if you have excess fat under the chin—otherwise known as a double chin. Subcutaneous fat just beneath the skin is part of a healthy physical makeup. However, fat can deposit underneath the chin, even in individuals who maintain a healthy body weight. While you can’t change your genetic makeup—which is what causes this problem in the first place—you can treat a double chin without invasive surgery followed by lengthy downtime. Kybella is an injectable treatment that is specifically designed to address submental fat. El Con Health and Wellness is a trusted Kybella provider in Tucson, and we can help you decide if this treatment is right for you.

What is Kybella?

Kybella contains a key ingredient called deoxycholic acid, which targets fat at the injection site, causing it to dissolve into small granules and be effectively recycled by the body. Kybella is produced by Allergan, the same brand behind trusted injectables like Botox and Juvederm, so it has a thorough track record of safety, along with FDA approval. As submental fat dissolves, the skin remains tight along the chin for a more pleasing contour and definition that you’ll be happy to show off.

What can you expect with the Kybella procedure?

Your treatment timeline will depend on your chin profile. You may receive 1-6 treatments with Kybella, spaced about one month apart. Each treatment session has no downtime, but you may have some post-treatment guidelines to follow. Some swelling and bruising may occur, but serious side effects are rare.

Are there any alternative treatment options to address a double chin?

While Kybella is a trusted, quick treatment option for a double chin, it isn’t the only treatment you might consider. Some patients will ultimately choose submental laser treatment, which is another non-invasive procedure that can target and eliminate this stubborn pocket of fat. The right treatment will depend on your unique profile and skin type.

Wonderful service and experience overall. I recommend this place 100%. The service I’ve received at other locations does not compare. -Hannia Martinez
