Is KYBELLA® Right For You?

A good candidate for a KYBELLA® cosmetic treatment is typically an adult who is bothered by the appearance of submental fullness, also known as a "double chin." Men or women of any age or weight can be affected by fatty deposits or “double chins” despite efforts to exercise and eat healthily.

The KYBELLA treatment is suitable for individuals who maintain a stable weight and have realistic expectations about their outcome. Ideal candidates should have good skin elasticity to ensure successful results after the targeted fat cells are eliminated. However, it’s essential for individuals with certain medical conditions or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding to consult with a qualified physician before considering this non-surgical procedure.

Overall, KYBELLA® is a promising solution for those seeking to enhance their facial profile and achieve a more defined and youthful-looking jawline. As a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Tehrani will perform a thorough consultation and provide you with options depending on your needs.

Who Is A Candidate for KYBELLA®?

Patients with moderate to severe submental fat deposits are candidates for having KYBELLA®injected. Men or women of any age or weight can be affected by such deposits or “double chins” despite efforts to exercise and eat healthily. KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment to reduce submental fullness. Those with loose hanging skin are not candidates as KYBELLA® does not remove excess skin. Such patients may be candidates for a neck lift. As a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Tehrani will perform a thorough consultation and provide you with options depending on your needs.

What Is The KYBELLA® Procedure?

KYBELLA® is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure designed to target and eliminate submental fullness, commonly known as a "double chin." It uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, to break down and absorb fat cells in the treated area.

By injecting KYBELLA® directly into the submental fat, patients can achieve a more contoured and defined jawline without the need for invasive surgery. The treatment is quick, efficient, and offers a safe and effective solution for individuals seeking to improve their facial profile.

During the KYBELLA cosmetic procedure your licensed, professional Aristrocrat aesthetician administers a series of small injections of synthetic deoxycholic acid directly into the targeted submental fat area under the chin. The KYBELLA® injection contains a natural molecule that eats away at fat while leaving all other cells healthy and intact.

The acid works to break down and absorb fat cells over time. The treatment typically takes around 15 to 20 minutes to perform. Patients may require multiple sessions for the best results. Minimal downtime is involved with recovery, with possible side effects like swelling, bruising, or discomfort at the injection sites. Most individuals can resume their regular activities shortly after the procedure. Individual results may vary.

Dr. Tehrani prides himself on utilizing cutting-edge technology for both surgical and non-invasive procedures to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
