Kybella is the single FDA-approved cosmetic treatment that injects into the area under the chin in order to eliminate fat cells. The goal of Kybella is to painlessly treat the area under the neck to improve the profile. Many today suffer from what is commonly known as a “double chin.” By using QnA’s Kybella injections in New Orleans, clients are able to improve their appearance and self-esteem.
Synthetic (man-made) deoxycholic acid is the active ingredient in Kybella. This acid actually occurs naturally in the body on its own; the body uses deoxycholic acid to break down fat. Normally, fat would be stored in expanding fat cells. This can be found commonly under the neck. Kybella injected into the problematic area results in a reduction of “heft” around the neck. Over time, the fat cells are literally destroyed so that they can no longer accumulate fat at all. This means that additional work is not expected once the target aesthetic has been reached.
What to Anticipate with Kybella
Before you receive your first Kybella injection, QnA’s cosmetic specialists will inspect the area around your chin and neck to guarantee that you will get the results you’re after from Kybella. After you’ve been established as a good candidate for Kybella treatment, then Dr. Benson and his team will tailor your injection protocol dependent on the level of fat present underneath your chin.
Every human is unique in how they store their fat, and this includes the fat underneath the chin. Therefore, the number of injections will depend on your total fat stored in the “double chin” as well as your final aesthetic goal. Subliminal fat can be thick; each treatment is performed at least one month apart from each other. There is a maximum number of six treatments that you can receive. In the FDA clinical studies of Kybella, 59% of recipients underwent six treatments in order to achieve their aesthetic goals.
Although Kybella is relatively painless, it is not uncommon to have a bit of bruising, swelling, or numbness at the injection site under the chin. As an FDA-approved treatment, Kybella’s serious side effects are rare. Our New Orleans Kybella specialists have been trained to treat issues in the rare case that a patient may report an adverse effect. Contact QnA if you start to note any unevenness in your smile, difficulties swallowing, facial weakness, ulcers, or any other severe skin issues around the treatment area.
Dr. Benson and his New Orleans staff need to be informed of a few various medical plans and conditions before you can begin a Kybella regimen:
