Question: What can i do about my double chin?

Answer: Weight gain is never a happy subject for someone who has put on an excessive amount of weight. We can camouflage most of it except for the fat on the face. Those who gain weight in their face arent able to cover it up, so the only alternative is to lose weight.

However, many people struggle with chin fat and it may have nothing to do with their weight. Previously, the only alternative was liposuction. While liposuction is still a smart choice, many people do not want to have any type of incisions or downtime. The downtime is minimal if you have laser liposuction vs. traditional liposuction, but the very thought of it makes some people nervous.

A new solution that has recently been approved by the FDA is called Kybella.

Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable drug that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness (otherwise known as chin fat). It is comprised of deoxycholic acid.

Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Once Kybella is injected into the fat layer, it causes destruction of fat cells. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot regenerate.

Some of the side effects may be bruising and swelling, but most patients are comfortable, even without a local anesthetic. One to two treatments are recommended; however, each treatment is customized depending on the person.
