Have you ever considered getting rid of your double chin? Now you can with our Richmond Kybella® chin fat reduction. If you live in Richmond, Midlothian and surrounding areas of Virginia, contact our practice today to schedule your personal consultation.
If you have a double chin, you might be considering a neck lift or neck liposuction, but we may have another option. Kybella® is a revolutionary injectable treatment that targets the fat under the chin and along the jawline. Richmond Plastic Surgeons offers Kybella® for men and women in Richmond, Midlothian, and surrounding areas of Virginia.
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is one of the most innovative injectable treatments available. The product contains a special enzyme that is found inside the digestive tract. The enzyme is responsible for metabolizing fat so that it can be eliminated by the body. Researchers found a way to adapt the enzyme into an injectable cosmetic product. When administered into the fat of your double chin, the enzyme goes to work and begins to permanently destroy the excess fat cells. You simply watch your double chin gradually disappear.
Benefits of Kybella®
Chin fat reduction with Kybella® offers the following benefits:
- Reduce and eliminate your double chin without surgery
- No downtime
- Gradual improvement
- Permanent fat elimination
Who is the Ideal Candidate for Kybella®?
The ideal candidate for our Kybella® treatments is someone who has adequate skin elasticity and excess fat in the area that begins under the chin and extends to the top of the throat. If you are not a good candidate for Kybella®, our plastic surgeons may recommend a neck lift or neck liposuction.
What Do I Need to Do Before Having Kybella®?
Because Kybella® is the first product developed for chin fat reduction, few medical professionals have the experience needed to properly administer the product. Our board-certified plastic surgeons are specially trained and experienced in the treatment. Scheduling a consultation at Richmond Plastic Surgeons is the best way to ensure that your treatments produce the best possible results.
