If you are trying to find a qualified plastic surgeon that offers Kybella in Houston, Deigni Plastic Surgery is your destination. Learn more about how Kybella works and what you can expect from the treatment.
Excess fat under the chin is the cause of the double chin that you might feel self-conscious about. Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable that reduces the appearance of this issue. It is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which is an acid that your body naturally produces to absorb fat.
When an aesthetician injects Kybella under your chin, it targets the fat cells and makes them unable to store fat in that area. Once the fat cells die, your body metabolizes them within a few weeks. Kybella treatment in our Houston office can provide permanent results.
Many people can safely receive Kybella treatments, especially those who are over 18 and generally healthy. This is an excellent treatment option for you if you feel that the fat under your chin causes you embarrassment or self-consciousness, but you do not want to have facial plastic surgery.
There are a few people who should not seek out this injection because of medical conditions or past surgeries. You should avoid Kybella treatments if you:
Dr. Deigni can help you determine whether you are a good candidate to receive Kybella in Houston. If you are among those who should not receive this treatment, we may be able to provide other recommendations that could still address your concerns.
We will look at the area around and under your chin, and ask you more about your medical history to determine whether you are a good candidate. If we determine that you are eligible to receive Kybella, we will administer the injections and might apply numbing agents or ice to reduce discomfort.
Many people receive between 20 and 30 injections, but some receive up to 50 in one session. The total treatment time is usually 15 to 20 minutes per session. After your session, you might notice some mild pain, numbness, or swelling, all of which are normal.
The number of Kybella injections needed to achieve your desired results varies from person to person. Dr. Deigni can help you determine the number of injections you need to get the look you want, but most people only need between two and four treatments in total.
Because Kybella is a non-surgical procedure, the recovery time is shorter and more manageable than other options. You might feel tenderness or numbness under the chin, and you could experience swelling and redness. These issues usually clear up within a week or two after the treatment, but you should inform us if they last longer than that.
If you are tired of feeling embarrassed by the excess fat under your chin, it is time to book your consultation to determine your eligibility for Kybella treatments. Dr. Deigni has years of training and experience with numerous types of procedures, including Kybella injections in Houston, and can help you address this concern which has been the cause of embarrassment.
