Double Chin

The appearance of a “double chin” is caused by the presence of submental fat, or fat that is just below the chin. This fat is often hereditary, and can persist even with significant weight loss. The appearance of a “double chin” can obscure the contour of the jaw, making the jawline appear more lax and less defined. 

Kybella® is an injectable medication that permanently dissolves the submental fat over a series of treatments. It contains deoxycholic acid, which is found naturally in the body, and is a key component to digesting the fat in our diet. It gradually destroys the fat cells and the fat cell components are excreted naturally from the body.
