Kybella
The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness around the treatment area. These are not all of the possible side effects of KYBELLA®. Call your healthcare provider if you develop open sores or drainage from the treatment area or for medical advice about side effects.
Submental fullness is a gathering of excess fat beneath the chin, commonly known as “double chin.” It can be something you’ve had your whole life due to genetics or start to appear as you get older or if you gain weight.
Kybella is a non-surgical solution to the double chin. Kybella is used specifically to treat small fat pockets without plastic surgery but with injections instead. With limited downtime and almost no pain – Kybella allows you to return to your regular life instantly.
Liposuction is an invasive surgical procedure that does have some additional risks since you are going under anesthesia. Recovery time is longer than Kybella injections and can leave a small scar in the treated area.
Kybella is approved by the FDA to improve the look and profile of submental fullness caused by submental fat. What’s that you ask? Submental describes the area underneath the chin. The fullness (fat) in this area is historically referred to as a double chin. Treatment of the double chin using Kybella has seen excellent results without the surgical intervention of liposuction.
Kybella, an injectable medication approved by the FDA, is used to remove fat in the area underneath the chin. Gerrish MedEsthetics is pleased to offer this treatment with our expertly trained staff.
