Kybella
Kybella Removes Double Chin without Surgery
Approved by the FDA as the first and only approved injectable to remove chin fat, Kybella stands to help millions of people who are bothered by excess fat in that area. Chin fat, medically referred to as submental fullness, has traditionally been treatable only with liposuction.
Kybella can be a single treatment, but in most individuals requires a series of two to four treatments. Some patients may require up to six treatments to reach their ideal aesthetic goals. Each treatment is administered one month or more apart.
Results are typically seen within a month after injections. Most patients will need a series of two to four injections to reach their ideal aesthetic goals. Treatments should be spaced at least one month apart.
After the series of treatments and your aesthetic goals are achieved, most patients do not require re-treatment. Once destroyed, the fat cells can no longer accumulate further fat.
The actual injections take about 15-20 minutes. We will have you take an over-the-counter pain reliever one hour before your appointment and come in about 30 minutes prior to your treatment for application of some numbing cream. We will also utilize ice to the area being treated and some local anesthetic in the injectable. After the treatment, ice may be re-applied for 10-15 minutes or as needed to help with discomfort. ( reformat to say we use local anesthetic and take out information about pain medication provided and icing etc. )
Under Lasers: Dr. C can look at this page for accuracy and determine if he wants to add PMS to this page or completely delete it.
Mommy Makeover: This whole page should be redone and specify that a Mommy Makeover is a breast procedure done in conjunction with a abdominoplasty. The page current only specifies mastopexy. Additionally the side tabs under Mommy Makeover can be removed. As a matter of fact, I feel the Mommy Makeover tab should be under body procedures.
Patients should discuss exact medication lists with us and their primary care physician prior to stopping medications, but blood thinners and substances such as aspirin, ibuprofen, alcohol, omegas, flaxseed oil, fish oil, vitamin D3, and vitamin E are typically avoided for three to five days prior to treatment.
