Our non-invasive Philadelphia Kybella treatments may be able to enduringly end issues with a "double chin" or excess fat under the chin. Dr. Stark and the team at the StarkMD Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center are pleased to offer this revolutionary new treatment to their patients.
An excess fat deposit under the chin can cause self-consciousness about the profile and dissatisfaction with one’s overall appearance. A double chin can make you look and feel heavier than you really are. In the past, a surgical procedure such as a neck lift or liposuction was the only way to remove diet resistant fat under the chin.
Kybella treats and corrects submental fullness, colloquially known as a "double chin." Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment to enduringly reduce and destroy fat cells below the chin.
The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body, When these molecules are injected into the under-chin area, fat cells are lastingly destroyed. Once destroyed, they can no longer store or accrue more fat. After completing your Kybella treatments, you will see less fullness under the chin and an improved profile.
Every treatment case is different. At StarkMD Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center, led by double board-certified Philadelphia plastic surgeon, Dr. Stark, time and care is taken to ensure that your custom treatment plan is appropriate to your individual situation. Most patients see success after 2-4 Kybella treatments spaced about a month apart.
The amount of fat that needs to be addressed, along with other cosmetic and medical factors, will determine how many treatments Philadelphia Kybella provider, Dr. Stark recommends. While it may take several treatments to achieve the desired results, those results are made to last. Once completed, further double chin treatment with Kybella should not be expected.
Each Kybella treatment lasts 20-30 minutes. First Dr. Stark will apply a grid pattern to the treatment area to guide his injections with precision. He will either apply ice or utilize local anesthesia for your treatments.
Using a fine needle, Dr. Stark will inject Kybella strategically in the treatment area to reduce fatty deposits and contour the profile. After your treatment, you may experience some redness, burning, numbing, or swelling for one to three days. You can return to normal activities immediately after each Kybella treatment. However, it will take 4-8 weeks after completing all treatments for your full Kybella results to be visible.
Kybella is not a weight loss treatment. If you are maintaining a healthy weight but still struggle with disproportionate fat below the chin and on the neck, Kybella could be a welcome solution. Whether the condition of submental fullness arises from aging, weight loss, or you’ve always suffered with submental fullness, Kybella injections may be an appropriate treatment.
Kybella treatments are quick and performed in-office in under 30 minutes. Here’s what to expect:
Most Philadelphia Kybella patients require two to four treatment sessions about four to six weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
One of the major benefits of Kybella is that it requires little to no downtime. After the procedure:
Proper hydration and post-care recommendations from our team will enhance healing and maximize results.
Kybella is not an instant fix, but rather a gradual chin fat-reduction treatment. Most patients begin noticing a slimmer profile within 4 to 6 weeks of their first session, with final results appearing after completing the full treatment plan.
Because Kybella permanently eliminates fat cells, results are long-lasting as long as a stable weight is maintained.
Kybella cost depends on the extent of fat reduction needed and the number of sessions required to achieve the desired results. On average:
Since Kybella is a cosmetic procedure, it is not covered by insurance. However, financing options and customized treatment packages may be available at StarkMD.
Yes! Once fat cells are destroyed by Kybella, they do not return. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight will help sustain your results.
Most patients require two to four Kybella treatments, but this varies depending on the amount of submental fat. Some individuals may need up to six sessions for optimal results.
Patients may experience mild stinging, swelling, or discomfort immediately after the injections, but numbing agents are used to minimize pain. Most side effects fade within a few days.
Kybella Results develop gradually over four to six weeks as the body breaks down and eliminates fat. Full results typically appear two to three months after the last session.
Yes! Many patients pair Kybella with dermal fillers or Botox for enhanced facial contouring and a more youthful look.
