KYBELLA® for Men in The Woodlands, TX

Just a small amount of extra fat in the upper neck area can cause the appearance of a double chin. The additional pockets of fat beneath the chin (or the submental area) can be caused by weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics that lead to a softer jawline and chin for an undefined profile. Leading dermatologist Dr. Melissa Chiang and seasoned plastic surgeon Dr. Younghoon Cho are proud to provide a revolutionary way to eliminate neck fat at Chiseled in The Woodlands, TX. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), KYBELLA is a new nonsurgical treatment for submental fat. The active ingredient in KYBELLA is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid (DA), which acts similarly to the body's natural DA to dissolve and absorb fat cells. Once it's injected under the chin, you may see a noticeable decrease in fat. When the fat is eliminated, those cells do not regenerate, so you can enjoy your new, slender profile and stronger jawline for years to come.

We understand that several individuals have insecurities about their face and jawline. KYBELLA injections at our Spring, TX office can help you achieve a lean, chiseled profile. Some of the other benefits patients can experience include:

• Reducing unwanted neck fat
• Shrinking a double chin
• Recontouring the neck and lower facial area
• Creating a stronger jawline
• Treatments are quick and easy
• Results are long-lasting to permanent
• No surgery or scarring

The best candidates for KYBELLA injections are men who have additional fat in their upper neck (submental area) that creates a double chin or unwanted volume. This injection treats resistant sections of fat that cannot be reduced with common weight loss techniques due to genetics, aging, or other conditions. If you're near a healthy weight but exercise and diet have not been able to reduce the fat in your submental area, then KYBELLA may be an ideal option for your goals. While KYBELLA is used to treat small or moderate amounts of fat in the upper neck, larger pockets of fat may require liposuction at Chiseled.

KYBELLA takes place during an in-office appointment at Chiseled in The Woodlands, TX. Dr. Chiang or Dr. Cho can apply a numbing cream to the injection site, if requested, after cleansing your skin. The treatment, which usually takes about 10 – 30 minutes, consists of multiple small injections targeting the submental area. Some patients may only need a single treatment to reach their desired goal, while others may require a few treatments spaced 3 – 4 weeks apart at Chiseled.

Injections of KYBELLA don't require anesthesia, so you can leave our office as soon as you're ready to return to your usual routine. You may have temporary bruising, swelling, or numbness below your chin; however, these symptoms shouldn't last more than a couple of days. Call Chiseled immediately if you experience any unusual symptoms, including facial muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing, or asymmetrical facial expressions. While the fat cells that are destroyed do not return, the remaining cells can grow larger, so you need to maintain a steady weight after your KYBELLA injections to prevent new pockets of fat from forming. Optimal results will reveal a sleeker and tighter-looking neckline.

How does KYBELLA compare to other injections?
Cosmetic injections come in a wide range of formulas to address different concerns. KYBELLA is made from synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring element that helps with the breakdown of unwanted fat. Other products are designed to fill in sunken areas and lines. In your consultation at Chiseled, we can explain your options and recommend which one is correct for you.

Are KYBELLA injections painful?
KYBELLA patients may feel a little sting once the formula is injected into the skin. Dr. Cho could provide a numbing agent or other ways to make your appointment more comfortable. While some discomfort is expected, most of our patients agree that it's tolerable, and there is no need to worry.

Will the fat come back?
Once KYBELLA is injected, fat under the chin shouldn't return. Once the fat cells are removed, they're gone for good. However, patients should maintain a steady weight with diet and exercise if they want to maintain their KYBELLA results long-term.

How much does KYBELLA cost?
Your costs for KYBELLA will depend on how many treatments are needed. In your consultation, a personalized KYBELLA treatment plan will be created to match your goals. A team member will also talk about payment options with you in your consultation.

How does KYBELLA work?
The active ingredient in KYBELLA, deoxycholic acid, works to break down fat cells in the upper neck. After they are eliminated, these cells cannot grow back. Therefore, more KYBELLA treatments shouldn't be necessary once you have reached your desired outcome.

Am I eligible for a KYBELLA treatment?
There are a few factors that could make you ineligible to receive a KYBELLA treatment. You must be at least 18 years old and you should not have any infection in or around the treatment site. Before the procedure is performed, you should to be open about any health concerns and your medical history with your injector so they can determine if you may be at risk for an adverse reaction from the treatment.

Even though everyone else in your family has to mask their genetic double chin, it doesn't mean you need to.
