Kybella Specialist in Saint Clair Shores, MI

Kybella fat reduction is a cosmetic non-surgical injectable treatment used to target any fat found underneath the chin. The process in which this is done is by using a series of deoxycholic acid injections to the targeted fat cells beneath the chin. The treatment provides no incisions, and no downtime for such treatment is minimal.

The best candidates for Kybella treatment are over the age of 18, with moderate to severe fat found under the chin. Depending on your plans, including if you plan to have facial surgery if you have a medical condition in or near the planned injection site, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or if you are having issues swallowing, you may not be considered for Kybella treatment.

Before you begin treatment for Kybella fat reduction, it is best to have a consultation appointment so our physician can discuss your medical history, as well as any past cosmetic procedures you have had completed on your face, chin, or neck. Be forward if you have any issues swallowing or bleeding, as this may affect if you are a candidate.

The component used in the Kybella treatment for fat reduction is deoxycholic acid which is a bile acid and is naturally produced by the body to absorb fat. Kybella injections use synthetic forms of this in the injection. After you have been injected, the acid in the ingredients will begin destroying fat cells beneath the chin so it will not store fat anymore.

Before your treatment, our physician will mark the injection location with a washable marker, and then administer a topical agent or ice, this will numb the area to ease any discomfort or pain from the treatment. The acid in the ingredients gradually kills off the fat cells over a few weeks.

We cannot provide an exact number of treatment sessions that may be necessary for your fat reduction, as each individual will require a different number of sessions to achieve their desired results. However, you can receive up to a maximum of six Kybella treatments with 1 month in between each session.

The exact number of injections may depend on the amount of fat that you have located under your chin, and the desired profile you are wanting to achieve.

Deciding on the number of Kybella fat reduction treatments you may need will vary. As each patient will have moderate to severe fat found under the chin, they will be provided different amounts of injections of Kybella.
