A double chin can be frustrating—especially when you feel like it doesn’t match the rest of your face. Fullness under the chin can affect jawline definition, facial contour and your side profile, and it isn’t always related to weight.If you’re wondering how to get rid of a double chin, there are aesthetic treatments specifically designed to target stubborn fullness under the chin. One option Rejuvenation Med Spa offers is Kybella, a non-surgical treatment that can help reduce fat and create a more defined jawline.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an injectable treatment designed to reduce under-chin fat, also called submental fat. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down dietary fat.
When Kybella is injected into the fat beneath the chin, it works to break down fat cells in the treatment area. Over time, the body naturally processes these cells, which can result in a visible reduction in chin fullness and a more defined jawline.
Can Kybella get rid of a double chin?
For the right candidate, Kybella can be an effective double chin treatment. It is designed specifically to target fat beneath the chin without surgery.
Kybella may help improve:
- Double chin fullness
- Submental fat
- Jawline definition
- Facial contour
- Side-profile appearance
The number of Kybella treatments needed varies from person to person based on the amount of submental fat, individual anatomy and desired results. Treatments are typically spaced about one month apart.
Is Kybella right for me?
Not everyone with a double chin is an ideal candidate for Kybella. The appearance of fullness under the chin can be influenced by several factors, including fat distribution, genetics, skin laxity and facial anatomy.
That’s why treatment starts with a comprehensive consultation. During your appointment, we can evaluate the area under your chin, discuss your goals and determine whether Kybella—or another treatment option—may be the best fit for you.
We’ll also talk through what to expect during and after treatment, including potential side effects, swelling and downtime.
