Feeling confident with your appearance positively influences the way you interact with the world. Unfortunately, even the most restrictive diets often simply won’t eliminate stubborn “double chin” fat. This is because a double chin is primarily hereditary, with a fixed number of fat cells under the chin that will never change. Losing weight can shrink the fat cells, but it will not remove them.
However, state-of-the-art Kybella Injections offered at Silkey Skin MD actually CAN permanently remove a double chin and give you a slim, smooth, and sculpted jawline. Kybella is a synthetic form of Deoxycholic acid, which is a chemical naturally produced by the body to help absorb fat. Kybella is administered through a series of injections that target the submental fat cells in the area beneath the jaw. The synthetic deoxycholic acid kills the submental fat cells, for permanent results.
Silkey Skin MD is one of the first medical clinics in Utah to offer Kybella for the treatment of double chin. Combined with Ultherapy of the neck area below the jaw and chin, it is even better at reducing excess fat and tightening excess skin in this area. All without surgery! We also offer CoolSculpting, another highly effective fat loss treatment that is FDA approved for the treatment of submental fat.
If you live in the greater Salt Lake City area, schedule a consultation at Silkey Skin MD, and we’ll help you decide if Kybella or another of our double chin treatments are right for you.
Each Kybella treatment involves multiple injections with a very fine needle in strategic areas under the chin. The number of injections needed will be determined by the amount of fat in the area, and the “profile” the patient wants to achieve. Patients may undergo from 1 to 6 Kybella sessions, generally about one month apart.
Dr. Silkey is a skilled and experienced board certified surgeon who knows skin! She will create a personalized Kybella treatment plan based on your individual chin and jawline profile.
In recent clinical studies, Kybella patients reported a reduction of up to 72% in their double chin after Kybella treatments!
