Kybella is usually a breeze! You might feel a bit of a sting or burn during the injections, but it’s generally mild and quick. Your provider might use a numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Afterward, you might have some swelling or tenderness, but it’s all part of the process and fades in a few days. The brief discomfort is totally worth it for a sleeker, more defined look!

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

For a sleek, contoured chin with Kybella, you’ll usually need between 2 to 4 sessions. Each appointment is spaced out for about 4 to 6 weeks to give your body time to smooth out and showcase those results. Your provider will craft a personalized plan to get you that jawline you’re after so you can look forward to a more defined profile in just a few visits!

How Long Until I See the Results?

Excited to see those Kybella results? You’ll start noticing changes about 4 to 6 weeks after your first treatment, with the magic unfolding around 12 weeks. It’s like unwrapping a gift slowly—each week brings a little more definition as the fat melts away, giving you a beautifully sculpted chin that’s worth the anticipation!

Can I Combine Kybella with Other Procedures?

Absolutely! Kybella can team up with other procedures for a knockout transformation. Imagine pairing it with Botox to smooth out wrinkles or dermal fillers to add volume and definition. For a more dramatic change, combining Kybella with treatments like liposuction or a neck lift can take your results to the next level. Dr. Giordano will craft a custom plan, blending Kybella with other treatments to enhance your look and give you a complete, refreshed makeover.

What Are the Risks Associated with Kybella?

Kybella is a fantastic option for tackling that double chin, but like any treatment, it comes with a few potential bumps along the way. You might experience some swelling, bruising, or tenderness right after your session—think of it as your body’s way of showing it’s working hard. Occasionally, you could feel some temporary numbness or redness. And while rare, serious side effects like difficulty swallowing or nerve damage are possible. But don’t worry—Dr. Giordano will keep you in the loop and ensure you’re prepared for a smooth journey to a sleeker chin!

Introduction to Kybella

A double chin is common as people age and have excess fat under the chin. In Huntersville, Greensboro, and the surrounding North Carolina areas, the medical director at Carolina Age Management Institute (CAMI), Dr. Stephen Giordano, treats people who have skin and fat under their chins that they would like to diminish or remove for a healthier and younger look with Kybella injections for chin fat removal. Kybella is a type of injectable designed to remove fat and can help define the jawline and elongate the neck, and the results are permanent.

Be sure to ask us about other areas that can be treated with Kybella, such as bra roll fat and jowls.

What is Kybella?

Kybella® is the only FDA-approved prescription injectable for removing excess fat underneath the chin. As the only approved injectable for this issue, Kybella® is injected just below the skin’s surface to break up excess fat and create a longer, leaner neck.

What Are the Benefits of Kybella?

For our Huntersville and Greensboro patients who are experiencing a double chin, Kybella® offers the following benefits:

Minimally Invasive: Enjoy lasting, noticeable results without the need for surgery or sutures.
Virtually no discomfort: A topical anesthetic is used so that you will experience minimal pain and discomfort.
Reveals a slimmer jaw and elongated neckline: Your jawline will be more defined to restore a youthful, confident appearance.
Offers quick and permanent results: You will have the lifetime results you want after just one treatment, which usually takes about 20 minutes.
No downtime following treatment: Patients can continue with their normal routine immediately after their injection.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Kybella?

If you are tired of feeling self-conscious about your double chin, you may be a candidate for Kybella. When dieting and exercise are not enough to give you the results you want, it is time to schedule your consultation for double chin injections. After just one appointment, you will love what you see in the mirror.

We do ask that any interested candidates come in with realistic expectations, maintain a positive attitude as the injection begins to work, be in good general health, and be as close to their target weight as possible.

Let’s Get Started

What’s the First Step?

The first step in getting a Kybella injection to treat a double chin is to schedule your initial consultation at CAMI. When you come in for your appointment, you will meet with either Dr. Giordano or one of our highly-trained injection specialists. Your face and neck will be examined, and you will be asked questions about your medical history, lifestyle, and daily routine. This is also the perfect time to ask any questions that you may have and address any concerns.

If you are deemed a good candidate for the Kybella treatment, your provider will create your treatment plan, and our patient coordinator will be able to help you schedule your treatment.

When preparing for treatments, it is important to cease taking medications or supplements that thin the blood, such as NSAIDs, aspirin, and Vitamins E or Ginkgo Biloba, to decrease potential bruising. Additionally, a freshly cleaned face and neck are necessary.

What to Expect on the Day of a Kybella Treatment

When getting double chin injections, the prescription medication is injected just below the surface of the skin into the excess fat. The main ingredient is synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that destroys fat cells. When this happens, the cells no longer store or accumulate fat. With Kybella®, the fat reduction gives the chin and neckline a long and lean look.

Treatments take no more than an hour to complete (including any preparation), and results become truly noticeable within three to four weeks following each injection. Patients typically receive two to four double chin injections to achieve their desired look.

Kybella Recovery

There is no downtime or recovery with Kybella®. Most patients simply return to what they normally do during the day. In fact, it is common to turn a lunch hour into a Kybella® treatment. There may be some slight redness at the injection site, but this clears up usually within a day.

Fair & Transparent Pricing

How Much Does Kybella Cost in Huntersville and Greensboro, NC?

Treatment costs for Kybella in Huntersville and Greensboro are different for each patient. They are based on the extent of the area to be treated, whether treatments are performed in conjunction with another treatment, and how many treatments are needed to achieve the desired look.
