Wisconsin Institute of Plastic Surgery, located in Appleton and Green Bay, is proud to offer Kybella®, an FDA-approved injectable treatment that effectively reduces submental fullness, commonly known as “double chin.” By destroying fat cells beneath the chin, Kybella creates a more defined and contoured jawline. This non-surgical treatment offers a safe and effective solution for improving your chin profile and achieving a more youthful appearance.

Understanding Kybella

Kybella is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in your body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the chin area, Kybella destroys fat cells, preventing them from storing or accumulating fat.

This treatment is ideal for adults with moderate to severe submental fullness who are in good overall health and have realistic expectations about their results.

The Kybella Treatment Procedure

Your Kybella journey starts with a consultation with Amanda Olsen, PA-C. She will discuss your concerns, review your medical history, and determine if Kybella is the right treatment for you.

During your procedure, a grid pattern is marked on the treatment area to guide the injections. Multiple treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart are typically recommended to achieve optimal results. While generally well-tolerated, you may experience some discomfort and swelling after the injections.

Benefits of Kybella

  • Non-Surgical: Kybella is a non-invasive alternative to liposuction.
  • Minimal Downtime: Return to your daily activities with minimal interruption.
  • Long-Lasting Results: Destroyed fat cells are gone for good, leading to a lasting improvement in your chin profile.
  • Natural-Looking Results: Achieve a more defined, contoured jawline that complements your natural features.
  • Improved Confidence: Feel more confident and self-assured with a sculpted neckline.

Recovery and Results

After your Kybella treatment, you may experience some swelling, bruising, numbness, and redness. The side effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days. Ice packs and over-the-counter pain medication can help manage any discomfort.

Your results will gradually develop over several weeks as your body processes the destroyed fat cells. Because those cells are permanently eliminated, you can enjoy long-term improvement in your chin profile.
