Kybella

Kybella^™ is a non-surgical treatment for your double chin (submental fullness).

The dreaded double chin typically comes from an increased fat deposit underneath the chin. It probably develops from a combination of aging, weight changes, and possibly genetics. The most annoying thing about a double chin is that it usually will not go away with diet and exercise and tends to make people look heavier and older than they are.

Kybella is an injection treatment available at Miller Family Dermatology to improve the contour of a double chin and is a good non-invasive alternative to liposuction. It is a naturally occurring substance, deoxycholic acid, that our body makes. When injected into fat, it that destroys the fat cells. Most individuals need a series of two to four in-office injection treatments.
