Double Chin

A more defined profile is possible without surgery. Dr. Alizadeh offers targeted, non-surgical solutions to reduce fullness beneath the chin, helping refine your jawline and restore balance to your facial contours with results that develop naturally over time.

Nothing affects your facial appearance like a double chin. You may be in good physical condition, slim, or even athletic, and still suffer from excess chin fat. Genetic programming may direct your body to store fat under your chin, which is never a happy situation. At Cosmoplastic Surgery in NYC and Long Island, we provide Kybella injections to melt away a double chin; no surgery is required.

Watch your double chin disappear with Kybella

Kybella works by breaking down fat cells beneath your chin, which are then shed by your body in the weeks following your injections. In the past, only facial surgery or liposuction could resolve a fatty zone beneath your chin. With Kybella, you can eradicate those fat cells that mar your look without cutting or extracting the fat – the cells simply melt away.

Your condition is unique to you. The first step involves evaluating your skin and the quantity of fat lodged beneath it. If your skin maintains a level of resiliency, this product is perfect for you. If you have loose, lax skin, you may need a more comprehensive approach, with Kybella to remove the excess fat, followed by a custom skin tightening procedure.

A series of treatments to remove a double chin

Some people are genetically programmed to store larger quantities of fat beneath the chin and will require a series of Kybella treatments to achieve optimal results. Our approach to Kybella injections is always customized to match the needs of the individual.

Double Chin Treatments

Non-surgical treatment for a double chin – at last.

The active ingredient in Kybella is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which occurs naturally in the body, serving an important function: it breaks down dietary fat. When injected into the chin fat, in a grid pattern, it destroys fat cells, which are then absorbed into your system and shed naturally. Imagine looking in the mirror, and every day seeing your double chin slowly disappearing, day by day – it is a gratifying experience, according to our patients!

Double Chin Treatment FAQs

How many Kybella treatments are typically needed?

Most patients require a series of treatments to achieve their desired result. Depending on the amount of fat under the chin, this can range from two to six sessions spaced several weeks apart.

How long does it take to see results after Kybella?

Changes develop gradually as the body processes and eliminates the treated fat cells. Many patients begin to notice improvement within a few weeks, with more defined results appearing over the following months.

Is Kybella a permanent solution for a double chin?

Yes, the fat cells destroyed during treatment do not return. However, maintaining a stable weight is important, as new fat can develop in the area over time.

Will Kybella tighten loose skin under the chin?

Kybella targets fat, not skin laxity. If loose skin is present, a skin tightening treatment may be recommended alongside or after fat reduction for a more refined result.

What does Kybella treatment feel like?

Patients may feel a brief stinging or burning sensation during injections. Mild swelling and tenderness afterward are common and typically resolve within several days.

Who is a good candidate for Kybella?

Ideal candidates have moderate fullness under the chin and good skin elasticity. A consultation helps determine whether Kybella alone or a combined approach will provide the best outcome.

Can Kybella be combined with other treatments?

Yes, combining Kybella with skin tightening or other facial contouring treatments can enhance overall definition and create a more balanced, sculpted appearance.
