Say goodbye to turkey neck with Kybella
The FDA has approved Kybella (deoxycholic acid) as a permanent treatment for turkey neck. When injected into fatty areas, Kybella permanently dissolves the fat cells which create the double chin.
Will Kybella get rid of my double chin?
If you’re interested in a nonsurgical way to reduce fullness beneath your chin, KYBELLA® may be right for you. KYBELLA® is a first-of-its-kind injectable treatment for adults with submental fullness (double chin) )that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile.
How does Kybella work?
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, and once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. This results in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin, revealing an improved chin profile.
How Much does Kybella Cost?
The cost of Kybella depends on your needs. Dr. Vulich will create a tailored treatment plan based on your chin profile. At each treatment, you will be given multiple small injections under your chin. You may receive up to 6 treatment sessions, spaced at least 1 month apart.
