The basics
Also known as ATX 101, Kybella is a clinically proven and FDA approved treatment for submental fullness also known as fat under the chin. While its effects can drastically improve the contours of a patient’s face, the process is minimally invasive, using a series of injections. Kybella is safe, effective, and is clinically proven through more than 20 clinical studies and satisfied patients all over the world. The Wise Center for Plastic Surgery was one of the first practices in the New Jersey area to use the product and Dr. Wise is featured as an Expert Injector of Kybella.
What makes Kybella so safe and effective is that it is specifically created to target fat cells in the chin and neck area. A man-made formulation of the naturally occurring deoxycholic acid, it mimics the natural function of this protein by breaking down and absorbing fats. It is growing in popularity because fat under the chin is traditionally known as a problem area for many people of varying ages and body types.
How is it used?
Kybella is injected under the chin between two and six sessions spaced at least one month apart. Over time the series of treatments will reduce submental fat, in a gradual process that can be monitored by Dr. Wise and the patient together. The majority of people who try the drug decided to go for the full six treatments, but this choice can change from person to person. By scheduling a complimentary consultation with Dr. Wise, you can customize a treatment plan to get the desired results. Dr. Wise oversees the administering of Kybella over the series of treatments to determine how to safely and effectively optimize your results. Before taking advantage of Kybella’s benefits, it is best to speak with a Dr. Wise to understand if it is the right solution for you.
The benefits
Now that we know what Kybella is and how it works, the next step is understanding all of the unique benefits it provides, and why so many people are turning to it today:
- Unlike many cosmetic facial procedures, Kybella treatment is permanent
- Since it is minimally invasive, it requires little downtime and can have patients back in action soon after treatment.
- Treatments only take 15 to 20 minutes, which makes them easier to manage than other routine cosmetic visits like a haircut or teeth cleaning.
- Side effects are rare and not serious. For those that do experience side effects, they are limited to minor pain, swelling, and redness and occur most commonly after the first treatment.
- Since it is an injectable, it does not require any surgery and won’t leave any visible scars or other marks after the procedure is complete.
