Kybella® for Double Chin Reduction in Milwaukee

Book an Appointment

If fullness under your chin is something you'd like to address, Kybella® offers a non-surgical injectable option designed specifically to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin.

Kybella uses deoxycholic acid to permanently destroy targeted fat cells beneath the chin, which the body gradually clears over time.

At Elevate + Co. in Downtown Milwaukee, every Kybella treatment begins with a personalized consultation. We'll assess your anatomy, talk through your goals and determine whether Kybella is the right treatment option for you.

Who Is Kybella® For?

A double chin is a term used to describe extra fat that gathers under the chin, making it look like there's a second chin. It's also called submental fat. A double chin can happen when there's too much fat in that area or when the skin loses its elasticity, causing it to sag.

People of all ages and body types can develop a double chin. Factors like genetics, weight gain, and aging can contribute to its formation. While it's not harmful to your health, some people may feel self-conscious about their double chin and may seek treatments for chin fat removal.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella®?

Kybella may be an option for adults who are bothered by moderate to severe fullness beneath the chin and would prefer a non-surgical treatment approach.

The right treatment depends on more than the amount of submental fat present. Skin laxity, facial anatomy, medical history and your overall aesthetic goals can all influence whether Kybella is the best option.

During your consultation at Elevate + Co., we'll evaluate these factors and recommend a treatment plan based on what makes the most sense for you.

How Many Kybella® Treatments Will I Need?

The number of Kybella® treatments you'll need can vary depending on factors like the amount of fat to be dissolved and your desired results. Typically, individuals will achieve optimal results with multiple treatments.

Most people undergo a series of two to four treatments, spaced about a month apart. During each session, we will inject Kybella® into the fat you want to remove. Over time, the fat cells will gradually break down and be naturally eliminated by your body.

We will assess your progress after each treatment session and recommend additional sessions if needed to achieve your desired outcome.

Kybella® Before and After Care

This is not a good treatment if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have open sores in the treatment area. Please contact us to reschedule your appointment.

Before getting Kybella® treatment

Let us know about any medical conditions or allergies you have.

Avoid using harsh scrub, exfoliators, bleaching creams or any products with RetinA, retinoids, or similar vitamin A compounds
Shave the treatment area if applicable.
Don’t apply creams, lotions, makeup, or perfumes to the treatment area.
Avoid taking medications and supplements with a blood thinning affect about 2 weeks before treatment. Aspirin, Vitamin E, Gingko Biloba, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil Supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, and other NSAIDS have a blood thinning effect and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections. Please consult with your primary care physician prior to discontinuing any of these medications.
Do NOT consume alcoholic beverages 1 week prior to treatment (alcohol may thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising).
Avoid caffeine, Niacin supplements and cigarettes 24-48 hours before your treatment.

After Fat Reduction Treatment

After the treatment, you may experience swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area. Swelling is the main side effect of Kybella® and should reduce within one to two weeks with a total recovery time of one month. Applying ice packs and avoiding strenuous activities can help reduce swelling and discomfort.

You should also:

Avoid saunas, jacuzzis, steam rooms, hot showers and any extreme heat areas.
Don’t consume alcohol or sodium for 3 days post treatment.
Avoid strenuous exercise and wearing makeup for 24 hours.
Avoid caffeine, Niacin supplements and cigarettes 24-48 hours after your treatment.
Avoid manipulating or massaging the area for 14 days following treatment.
For chin fat removal, sleep on your back with your head elevated.
We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks after Kybella® before getting any other cosmetic procedure in the area, including laser, peels, facials, micro needling, microdermabrasion, etc.

If you have any concerns or experience unusual side effects, or are having trouble swallowing, be sure to contact us for guidance and support.
