More Irvine Kybella Info You Need to Know

It’s our job to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision about this injectable method. This is a prescription medication used primarily in adults. It improves a person’s profile and appearance by lessening any excessive fat below the chin. 

Further research is needed to determine whether this injectable is effective and safe for treating fat outside the submental (chin) area. 

The first step in this procedure is to come in for a consultation. When patients ask how many treatments they will need, we tell them everyone is different and every profile unique. That’s why the actual number of injections for any patient varies.

Excess Fat

Kybella can only be administered by a trained specialist. When you come in for treatment, you will receive several injections underneath your chin. The entire process takes up to 20 minutes. The number of injections you receive depends on your goals and the amount of excess fat you want to remove. 

Recovery Time

Patients are naturally curious about recovery times. After treatment, there will likely be some numbness, bruising and swelling underneath your chin. This generally goes away after a short period of time. However, you should get in touch with us right away if you notice unusual symptoms. These may include muscle weakness in your face or open sores.

We’ll want to know about your medical history, previous cosmetic procedures and any current medical conditions such as difficulty swallowing. This will help us to determine whether Irvine Kybella treatment is right for you.
