Reduce Your Double Chin Without Surgery
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. This innovative procedure is a popular choice among adults seeking to improve their chin profile without undergoing surgery. At AMG Plastic Surgery in Reston, VA, Dr. Amir Ghaznavi and his team provide expert Kybella® treatments to help you achieve a more defined and youthful appearance.
How Does Kybella® Work?
Kybella® contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. The synthetic form of this acid is used in Kybella® injections to target and destroy fat cells beneath the chin. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, leading to a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin.
The Non-Surgical Double Chin Removal Process
Consultation and Planning
Your journey with Kybella® begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. Ghaznavi. During this session, he will assess your chin profile, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if Kybella® is the right treatment for you.
Preparation
On the day of the procedure, a topical numbing agent is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort.
Injection
Dr. Ghaznavi will administer multiple small injections of Kybella® into the submental fat. The entire process typically takes about 20 minutes. The number of injections and treatment sessions will depend on the amount of fat and your desired results.
