Kybella™

Kybella™ Description

Dr. Roger Bassin is one of the first plastic surgeons to offer Kybella™ in Orlando. FDA approved, Kybella™ is an injectable used to eliminate excess fat below the chin and upper neck for a more defined, youthful look. Kybella™ uses deoxycholic acid—a substance naturally occurring in the body. Upon injection, the deoxycholic acid will being to break down and absorb excess fat, creating a slender and more defined appearance. A sculpted chin can create youthful contours throughout the face—resulting in a stunning look and enhancing your overall facial profile. However, factors such as weight gain, aging, and genetics can lead to a loss of definition, as the fat below the chin, known as submental fat, begins to accumulate. This excess fat may create the illusion of a double chin and often causes individuals to appear heavier or older than they actually are. Submental fat is often resistant to traditional fat-loss methods, such as diet and exercise. Unlike traditional plastic surgery procedures, which remove fat from the area, Kybella™ uses an injectable solution to destroy fat from the inside. Kybella™ treatment will continue to reduce submental fat for months, with natural-looking results being seen within weeks.

Kybella™ Procedure

Kybella™ treatment is comprised of several injections spaced over numerous months to allow for optimal results. The number of necessary Kybella™ injections will vary by patient, as well as by the amount of submental fat present. Dr. Bassin and his team of Orlando doctors will work with you to provide a personalized Kybella™ treatment plan. Typically, results can be seen within weeks and continued improvement can be expected over the course of your Kybella™ procedure. A typical Kybella™ cycle can range from 2-6 total injections, with each treatment lasting around 15-20 minutes. Results from Kybella™ treatment in Orlando are extremely long-lasting. Since fat cannot continue to develop in treated areas, results from Kybella™ can be permanent, as long as additional submental fat is not added. While Kybella™ is ideal for eliminating excess fat below the chin, it cannot treat laxity in the neck caused by loose muscles or drooping skin. Consider LazerLift or a mini facelift to correct such conditions.
