Stubborn fat beneath the chin can be difficult to address, despite a healthy diet and regular exercise. Genetics and aging often contribute to submental fat that may not respond to lifestyle changes alone. At Meraki Aesthetics and Wellness, we offer Kybella® injections designed to target and break down fat cells under the chin.
Patients searching for Kybella® in Fort Mill, SC, often choose this option because it provides noticeable removal of the double chin and profile improvement without the need for invasive surgery. This specialized treatment uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps with fat dissolving beneath the chin. Using strategically placed injections, this treatment initiates a process that dissolves fat, helping reduce the appearance of a double chin. As the targeted fat cells are metabolized, the jawline can appear more defined and balanced.
It is an FDA-approved injectable treatment indicated to improve the appearance of moderate-to-severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat in adults. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, disrupts the integrity of fat cells, allowing the body to naturally clear them through the metabolic process.
Because the body’s ability to store fat in the treated area is diminished once those cells are destroyed, many patients experience long-lasting results. It has become a trusted option for individuals seeking a more contoured profile without the downtime associated with liposuction.
Fullness under the chin can affect facial balance and soften the profile. With a customized treatment, our providers focus on the submental area to achieve effective double-chin removal and a more sculpted facial appearance.
The process begins with a personalized consultation to evaluate your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Carefully administered injections target fat deposits within the specialized treatment parameters, protecting surrounding tissues. Over time, the process diminishes fullness, revealing a smoother jawline. Many patients begin noticing gradual improvements as the body processes the treated cells.
Many patients choose this because it offers a non-surgical approach to facial contouring. Benefits may include:
The number of sessions varies by individual. The best results are typically achieved after 2 to 4 treatments, spaced at least 1 month apart, depending on the amount of submental fat and the desired outcome.
When injected into the chin, this treatment destroys fat cells. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. Once your aesthetic goal is reached, further treatment is generally not expected.
Reducing the fullness or fat deposits under the chin can help create a more defined transition between the chin and the neck, supporting a more contoured jawline.
While everyone’s sensitivity varies, most patients tolerate the injections well. You may experience a warm or stinging sensation during the injection, and temporary swelling or tenderness is expected afterward.
Results are not immediate. Because the body naturally metabolizes fat cells, most patients begin to see a visible reduction in fullness within 4 to 8 weeks after their second or third treatment session.
