Do you feel self-conscious about extra fat underneath your chin? Extra fat build up under the chin can make the face appear older and may make you look heavier than you are. Even when some patients eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly can still develop submental fullness under the chin creating the appearance of a double chin.
What Is Kybella?
Kybella® is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive injectable treatment that can actually destroy the fat cells under the chin. Cosmetic dentist Dr. Brent Engelberg is trained in the administration of Kybella for effective and natural results. Dr. Engelberg has a highly trained artistic eye for creating aesthetically pleasing facial balance. Kybella is another way for Dr. Engelberg to help you achieve the smile of your dreams. Dr. Engelberg provides facial esthetic treatments including Kybella, Botox, and Juvederm in the comfort of his Arlington Heights dentist office to provide patients with comprehensive smile design.
How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella works by destroying fat cells underneath the chin area. Kybella’s active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down fat. Once injected, Kybella destroys the fat cells making them unable to accumulate fat in the future. Once your treatment series is completed, future treatments will most likely not be necessary.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Dr. Engelberg will use thorough and comprehensive and personalized treatment planning to ensure accurate and natural looking results. Dr. Engelberg will work with you to determine the number of injections necessary to achieve your desired cosmetic results. Most patients require 6 treatments over the course of several months. The number of treatments and injections will be determined by the amount of fat build up you have and your desired profile results. Each treatment session only takes about 20 minutes.
Is Kybella The Correct Solution For Me?
Submental fullness is often resistant to exercise and diet and requires additional treatments to reduce. Kybella is highly effective for healthy patients who experience stubborn fat build up under their chin. Dr. Engelberg will perform a thorough health review to ensure that Kybella is right for you.
Effective Treatment for Men & Women
Kybella provides long-term results for the reduction of fat under the chin for both men and women. Both men and women can develop submental fullness and many can be successfully treated with Kybella. Genetics, weight gain or loss, and aging can create excess fat under the chin. Some patients may experience minor swelling or redness after treatment but downtime is usually minimal.
