Non-Surgical Double Chin Reduction
Fullness under the chin can be treated without surgery when the concern is excess fat rather than loose skin. At Janjua Facial Surgery in Bedminster, NJ, Dr. Tanveer Janjua offers Kybella, an injectable that breaks down fat under the chin so the body can absorb it. He can also advise when liposuction or a neck lift may be a better fit.
Kybella Treatment for Fat Below the Chin
Kybella is a quick injection used to treat double chin like fullness. It breaks down the fat under the chin and over time the body absorbs it. It is a good alternative to liposuction which can be more invasive. It is FDA approved and is easy to administer. There is no special preparation required and you can resume all daily activities immediately. The area under the chin can appear fuller for up to a week and then starts going down. Several treatments of Kybella typically one month apart are needed to get the best possible result.
Kybella FAQs
Q. How do I know if I am a candidate for Kybella?
A. It is best to be examined by Dr. Janjua to get an accurate assessment if Kybella is the best option for you or more invasive methods like liposuction, Thermitight or Necklift might be necessary. In general if the fullness under the chin is not extreme and there is not a lot of loose skin then you are a good candidate.
Q. Does it hurt?
A. It is mildly painful but using ice packs prior to the injection or using EMLA cream starting 30minutes before the procedure will help reduce that pain.
Q. How soon can I expect to see the results of Kybella?
A. You can see the initial results within a month.
Q. I am pregnant, can I have it done?
A. No, you have to wait till after the delivery.

A. Yes.
Q. Can I have Botox or other fillers done at the same time?
A. Yes, as long as they are not done near the chin.
