Can double chin come back after Kybella?
Yes, double chin can come back after Kybella. Kybella is a long-term solution, but it is not permanent. After the initial series of treatments, it may be necessary to go for maintenance treatments to prevent the fat cells from returning.
This is especially true if a person has not made lifestyle changes and/or continues to gain weight, as the fat cells can come back and cause the double chin to reappear. Additionally, individual results may vary, so even if lifestyle changes are made, the fat cells may still return and cause the double chin to reappear at some point.
Does Kybella leave saggy skin?
No, Kybella is designed to help reduce the appearance of a double chin without the need for surgery. Kybella works by breaking down the fat that lies beneath your skin, which tends to cause the appearance of a double chin.
It’s important to note that Kybella can’t prevent sagging skin, however, it can help in reducing the appearance of double chin.
Often times, the appearance of sagging skin is caused by a combination of factors such as aging, genetics, sun exposure, and gravity. The best way to reduce the appearance of sagging skin is to utilize a combination of products or techniques such as real skin tightening, liposuction, or facelifts.
Kybella can help to reduce the appearance of a double chin and can be used in conjunction with these other treatments to reduce the appearance of sagging skin.
Does Kybella remove fat permanently?
Yes, Kybella can permanently remove fat. Kybella is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injectable treatment made up of a synthetic version of a naturally occurring bile acid. It is injected into the fat under the chin, called the submental fat, and its main purpose is to permanently reduce fat in the targeted area.
Kybella works by breaking down the fat cells in treated areas, which are then metabolized by the body and are permanently removed. As long as you maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle, the fat cells that Kybella destroys will not come back even if you gain weight in other areas of your body.
It can take two or more treatments with Kybella to achieve the desired result, and several sessions may be needed to reach your fullest reduction in chin fat. After the recommended treatments, you can expect to enjoy your results for years to come.
Can Kybella work after 1 treatment?
The answer is yes, it is possible to see results after one Kybella treatment session. While it can take up to six treatments to achieve the full effects of Kybella, a single treatment session can provide some visible improvement.
In clinical trials, 68% of people reported seeing the desired results after one session of Kybella, while 82% achieved results after two sessions.
Kybella works by breaking down and absorbing fat cells in the lower chin area. While results may not be as significant with one treatment, individuals may still notice a decrease in the appearance of their double chin.
Typically, results may become more apparent for most people after two to four treatments.
Due to the individual nature of results and desired outcomes, it is important to have a consultation with a qualified health care provider to discuss Kybella in more detail. During the consultation, your health care provider can discuss the number of sessions you’ll need to reach your desired outcome.
What is the age to get Kybella?
The age to get Kybella is typically 18 years and over. However, it’s important to note that this is only the recommended minimum age for the procedure. A potential patient’s individual health and safety must be taken into consideration when determining if they are eligible for the procedure.
The decision to proceed with treatment will be made by the patient’s primary healthcare provider or board-certified plastic surgeon after they have evaluated the patient in person and discussed the patient’s treatment goals.
A full medical history will be taken and the patient’s current health conditions and other factors will be considered. Anyone considering Kybella should be in good health overall, with no conditions that could jeopardize their safety or the successful outcome of their procedure.
How long do Kybella results last?
The results of Kybella injections typically last for over one year; however, the exact duration of results depends on the individual. Many people find that the effects of Kybella last for about 18-24 months.
However, for some people, the results of Kybella may last for up to four years depending on their skin’s response to the injections. Additionally, some people may require more than one round of Kybella injections to achieve the desired effect.
In some cases, the effects of Kybella can be permanent when used correctly. Therefore, it is important to follow the instructions of your medical provider closely to ensure the best possible results are obtained.
Where does the fat go from Kybella?
The fat that is dissolved by Kybella® is processed by the body’s natural metabolic pathways. The main removal process of the fat is via the lymphatic system, in which the broken down fat is converted into glycerol and free fatty acids and then carried through the bloodstream to be used as energy.
Ultimately, the fat is removed from the body as waste. Clinical studies demonstrated that Kybella® effectively reduces fat under chin and yields results up to eight months after treatment.
Is Kybella as good as liposuction?
The answer to this question depends on the individual and their goals. Generally speaking, Kybella is a non-surgical alternative that is less invasive than liposuction, but it is not necessarily a better option.
Kybella is FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe fat under the chin (submental fullness or “double chin”). It is an injectable medication that contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which is naturally found in the body and helps to break down and absorb dietary fat.
Kybella works by destroying fat cells, making it effective for reducing fat under the chin.
In contrast, liposuction is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess fat from specific areas of the body using a vacuum-like suction device. In some cases, liposuction may be more effective than Kybella, especially in cases where the fat is more widespread.
Additionally, liposuction may be more helpful for individuals who require larger fat reductions than what Kybella can provide.
Ultimately, it is best to consult with a doctor or plastic surgeon to determine which treatment option is best for you.
How many vials of Kybella do I need for chin?
This will depend on the size of the area to be treated and the desired outcome. Generally, a single Kybella treatment requires two to four vials, which may vary depending on the size and severity of the targeted fat area.
For example, when treating extra fat under the chin, the standard dose is two vials per treatment, though some patients may require additional vials if the desired results cannot be met with two. It is important to note that Kybella is only approved for the treatment of fat under the chin and is not approved for other areas of the body.
The number of treatments necessary will be determined by your healthcare provider based on factors such as the severity of the fat, its size, and patient goals. Treatment recommendations may vary from 1 to 4, or even more if needed depending on the patient’s goals.
