Kybella, a revolutionary Miami injectable treatment, is designed to reduce submental fat and contour the jawline, offering a non-surgical solution for a more defined profile.

Kybella is an injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. Dr. Randy Lindgren carefully administers Kybella through a series of injections directly into the targeted fat beneath the chin. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, works to break down and absorb fat cells, resulting in a more defined and contoured jawline over time. The procedure is non-surgical and typically takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

Kybella Details

Kybella treatment involves multiple small injections administered into the submental area. Depending on the severity of the double chin, multiple treatment sessions may be necessary, spaced about a month apart. The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs, but most patients see optimal results after two to four treatments.

How to prepare for treatment?

If you’re considering Kybella, it may be an excellent choice for eliminating a double chin. Kybella is great for individuals who:

Want to reduce submental fat without surgery
Desire a more defined and sculpted jawline
Are close to their ideal weight but struggle with a double chin

Before your Kybella session, avoid taking blood-thinning medications or supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or vitamin E, for at least a week to minimize bruising. Arrive with a clean face and discuss any medical conditions or previous surgeries in the treatment area with Dr. Lindgren. This will help ensure the best possible outcome and safety during the procedure.

However, Kybella may not be the right fit for those who:

Have significant skin laxity or loose skin under the chin
Are pregnant or breastfeeding
Have an infection in the treatment area
Have had or plan to have surgery on the neck or chin area

Recovery and Results

Following a Kybella treatment, some swelling, bruising, or redness in the treated area is common and typically subsides within a few days. The fat cells destroyed by Kybella are permanently eliminated, and noticeable improvements in chin contouring can be seen within 4 to 6 weeks. Final results from Miami injectable Kybella continue to develop as the body naturally processes the treated fat, with noticeable improvements in chin contouring seen within 4 to 6 weeks.
