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.
I’m very happy and pleased with the quality of care and treatment I received at AMG Plastic Surgery. Dr Ghaznavi was very thorough, attentive and caring before, during and after my surgery and continues to be. From the moment I walked in the office, Pam greeted me and helped calm my nerves and has been supportive throughout the entire process and continues to be. I highly recommend this practice for any plastic surgery you need. You will be well taken care of.
Benefits of Kybella® Treatment
Minimally Invasive
Kybella® is a non-surgical treatment, making it a less invasive option for reducing a double chin compared to surgical alternatives.
Quick and Convenient
Each treatment session lasts about 20 minutes, and most patients require only a few sessions to achieve optimal results.
Natural Results
Kybella® uses a naturally occurring molecule to destroy fat cells, resulting in a more natural-looking contour of the chin and neck.
Permanent Solution
Once the fat cells are destroyed, they are permanently removed from the body, providing long-lasting results.
What to Expect After Kybella® Treatment in Reston
Immediate Post-Treatment Effects
Following the injections, you may experience some swelling, bruising, redness, and temporary numbness at the injection site. These side effects are normal and typically resolve within a few days to a few weeks.
Recovery Time
Most patients can return to their normal activities immediately after the treatment. However, it is advised to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for 24 hours post-treatment to minimize swelling and bruising.
Gradual Improvement
The deoxycholic acid works gradually to destroy fat cells, with full results becoming visible over the next several weeks. Multiple treatment sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome.
