How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatments necessary varies from person to person, as people have different amounts of stubborn fat lodged below the chin. The usual number of treatments ranges from four to six, spaced out at one-month intervals for maximum safety and optimal results. As you progress through your treatments, the results of Kybella will start to appear. In clinical studies, 59% of patients required six treatments to reach their cosmetic goals.

Natalie, the Practice Manager is the best. She will quickly text back and forth to schedule appointments, make payment seamless, and is just sweet/ funny and the backbone of the whole operation there.

Is there any downtime?

The recovery or downtime associated with Kybella is minimal. There will be some swelling and/or bruising in the treatment area that will ease over the following days. There may also be some discomfort in the treatment area as the fat cells are impacted by the injections, as well as some redness or numbness. Any side effects tend to resolve within one to two weeks after treatment. You can help to ease any side effects by avoiding any strenuous exercise after treatment as well as medications or supplements that increase the chances of bleeding and bruising such as Aspirin, Motrin, and vitamin E.

Does the fat come back when treatments have completed?

The fat that has been destroyed will not return, although the remaining fat cells can swell if you gain weight. The best way to maintain and enhance your results is through a healthy diet and regular exercise. Many patients feel motivated to adopt and maintain a healthier lifestyle after Kybella injections.

Even people who are genetically predisposed to a double chin can maintain results with a healthy diet and a regular exercise routine. Cosmetic enhancements such as Kybella are intended to supplement a healthy lifestyle and to provide some extra help to you if you are living with stubborn fat deposits below the chin.
