Excess fat under the chin is often referred to as submental fullness, the technical term for a double chin. Your changing profile can be caused by weight gain, the effects of aging, sun damage, and your overall genetic makeup. If you are looking to dramatically improve your moderate to severe fat below the chin, Kybella in The Woodlands at SGK Plastic Surgery can offer a more contoured and lifted appearance.

What is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved non-surgical treatment that can minimize the appearance of a double chin. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When Kybella is injected into the target area beneath your chin, fat cells are dissolved over the course of the treatment period.

What are the benefits of Kybella?

Kybella is a minimally invasive treatment developed to treat a double chin. Surgical procedures can be painful and have much longer recovery times. With Kybella, patients experience long-lasting results with a beautifully-contoured jawline, restoring a more youthful balanced look to the face.
