Kybella

Candidates for KYBELLA are at least 18 years old and bothered by excess fat beneath their chin. They should be in good general health and not have any infections or skin irritation in the submental area.

If you have had or will undergo any type of facial surgery or are pregnant or breastfeeding, KYBELLA may not be a suitable treatment for you. At your consultation, we will review your medical and health history and other relevant factors to determine whether or not you qualify for KYBELLA.

KYBELLA provides a permanent reduction of fat beneath the chin. Your submental fat cells eliminated with this injectable will be gone from your body for good.

By the time we’re in our 30s, most people’s bodies don’t grow new fat cells. Weight fluctuations can cause the existing fat cells in any area to increase in size, but the number of fat cells generally remains the same.

It is the growth of the existing fat cells that makes one area look fuller than another. This means it will be difficult to regain fullness beneath your chin after KYBELLA since you will have significantly fewer fat cells in that area.

The cost of your KYBELLA treatment will be primarily based on the amount of submental fat you have, which will determine how many KYBELLA injections you need for ideal results.

During your consultation at Aestheticare STL, we will assess your goals to determine your KYBELLA treatment cost.

As with all injectable cosmetic treatments, KYBELLA has some risks of side effects. However, most of these are mild, resolve on their own shortly after treatment, and do not lead to serious issues.

Some of the most common KYBELLA side effects include the following in the treated area:

• Numbness
• Swelling
• Redness
• Discomfort

Once the fat beneath your chin is eliminated with KYBELLA, your skin may shrink slightly to account for the reduced fullness in the area. However, KYBELLA is not designed to address loose skin, which may appear more lax after KYBELLA if you already have reduced skin elasticity in the area.

To treat sagging, a thread lift can tighten your jawline to smooth drooping jowls and lift the chin. Agnes radiofrequency microneedling is another option to correct sagging skin, and it has the additional benefits of treating acne, eye bags, scars, and enlarged pores.

Despite some claims, there’s no scientific proof that exercises can target a double chin. They may slightly improve the appearance of this area by toning the muscles, but most people won’t see a dramatic improvement the way they would from KYBELLA treatment.

Yes! If you’d like to eliminate your double chin and address other cosmetic issues, we can advise you on the best combination treatments for your goals. Common procedures combined with KYBELLA include laser treatments like HALO and Aerolase Neo to rejuvenate skin tone and texture.
