Kybella in St. Louis

At Aestheticare STL, KYBELLA is used as a non-surgical solution for patients who want to address a double chin without incisions or extended downtime. These double chin injections in St. Louis are carefully customized to your anatomy and aesthetic goals, helping reduce stubborn submental fat and create a more refined, natural looking jawline over time.

What is KYBELLA®?

KYBELLA is the only FDA-approved prescription medication for reducing moderate to severe submental fullness. This injectable product can effectively treat a double chin caused by excess fat, producing a more slender profile beneath the chin.

KYBELLA is used as a non-surgical option for patients who want to refine the lower face without incisions or extended downtime. Treatment plans are customized based on the amount of submental fat and individual aesthetic goals, helping create natural looking improvement and a more defined profile over time.

How Does KYBELLA® Work?

KYBELLA is made of synthetic deoxycholic acid, the natural form of which helps your body absorb fat. When injected into the target area, the deoxycholic acid in KYBELLA breaks down and destroys the fat cells. Then, your body’s lymphatic system will gradually remove the fat cells in the same way it naturally eliminates other dead cells.

Over the following weeks, the body gradually clears these damaged fat cells through natural metabolic processes. As this occurs, fullness beneath the chin decreases and the jawline becomes more defined. Because the treated fat cells are eliminated, results from fat dissolving injections in can be long lasting.

Benefits of KYBELLA® Treatment

KYBELLA offers a non-surgical approach to reducing submental fat with minimal disruption to daily life. Treatments are quick, performed in office, and require no incisions or anesthesia. Many patients appreciate that results develop gradually, allowing for refined improvement that looks natural and balanced.

For those considering double chin injections in St. Louis, KYBELLA provides a targeted option designed specifically for this area, helping enhance facial harmony and confidence.

KYBELLA® vs. Other Treatments

Unlike topical treatments or facial exercises that cannot directly reduce fat cells, KYBELLA works at the source by breaking down unwanted fat beneath the chin. Compared to surgical options, KYBELLA does not involve incisions, stitches, or extended recovery.\

For patients who want noticeable improvement without surgery, Kybella in St. Louis offers a precise and effective alternative. During your consultation, your provider will help determine whether KYBELLA or another treatment best aligns with your goals.

Benefits

Non-Surgical Fat Reduction

KYBELLA provides non-surgical fat reduction for patients who prefer to avoid invasive procedures. These fat dissolving injections in St. Louis are administered with precision and require no downtime from work or social activities.

By targeting fat cells directly, KYBELLA offers a solution for stubborn areas that remain unchanged despite healthy lifestyle efforts.

Improved Jawline Definition

As submental fat is reduced, the jawline becomes more defined, and the lower face appears more sculpted. Patients choosing KYBELLA often notice improvement in profile views and increased confidence in photos.

Results develop gradually, allowing the jawline to refine naturally over time without appearing overdone.

Long-Lasting Results

Once fat cells are eliminated with KYBELLA, they do not regenerate. This allows patients to enjoy long lasting improvement, especially when maintaining a stable weight.

Many patients find that double chin injections with KYBELLA provide lasting refinement without the need for ongoing treatments to the same area.

Step-by-Step Process

Your consultation includes an evaluation of the area beneath your chin, a discussion of your goals, and the creation of a personalized KYBELLA treatment plan.

KYBELLA is injected into targeted areas beneath the chin using a fine needle. Treatment is typically completed in under 30 minutes.

Mild swelling or tenderness is expected as part of the natural fat elimination process. These effects gradually resolve as results develop.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kybella

Who Is a Good Candidate for 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.

Who Should Not Get KYBELLA®?

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.

How Long Does KYBELLA® Last?

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.

How Much Does KYBELLA® Cost in St. Louis?

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.

Are There Any Side Effects With KYBELLA®?

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

Can KYBELLA® Treat Sagging Skin?

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.

Can Exercise Get Rid of a Double Chin?

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.

Can I Combine KYBELLA® Treatment With Other Cosmetic Procedures?

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.

How Can I Get KYBELLA® in St. Louis?

If you’re bothered by fullness beneath your chin and would like a more svelte, contoured profile, KYBELLA may be the solution you’ve been looking for. Call (314) 310-0454 to schedule your complimentary consultation with us and learn more about how KYBELLA can eliminate your double chin for good.

Is KYBELLA® Painful?

Most patients have mild discomfort like a brief injection. A numbing option can be applied to improve comfort during treatment.

Will KYBELLA® affect my facial expressions or movement?

No. KYBELLA targets fat beneath the chin and does not interfere with facial muscles or expressions.

Can KYBELLA® be used anywhere besides under the chin?

KYBELLA is specifically designed for submental fat and is not typically used in other areas.

How do I know if KYBELLA® will give me the results I want?

A personalized consultation allows your provider to assess your anatomy, discuss expectations, and determine if KYBELLA at St. Louis is the right option.

What happens to the fat after KYBELLA® treatment?

Once destroyed, fat cells are gradually processed and eliminated by the body over several weeks.
