&srotate=0)
Your chin and jaw can have a dramatic effect on your appearance and your confidence. Unfortunately, many individuals carry a small amount of fat under the chin, which can create the appearance of a "double chin." At Med Spa At Seena One, we're excited to offer an effective cosmetic solution for Burleson and Fort Worth, TX men and women struggling with unwanted chin fat: KYBELLA injections. Performed by Dr. Mukhtar Anees and our skilled team, this exciting treatment targets submental fat to create a sleeker profile.
Many patients wonder how long swelling lasts after KYBELLA injections. Typically, swelling peaks within the first two days and gradually subsides over the following weeks, leaving individuals with a beautifully defined jawline. Let's explore what you can expect in terms of side effects and results after your KYBELLA treatment.
What does KYBELLA do to remove chin fat?
KYBELLA is an injectable treatment formulated to target and remove chin fat. The active ingredient in KYBELLA is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA destroys fat cells, which are then naturally removed by the body's metabolic processes. This results in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin, leading to a more sculpted and youthful profile.
How many KYBELLA injections will I need?
The number of KYBELLA injections required varies from person to person, depending on the amount of fat and the desired results. Typically, patients receive a series of injections spaced about a month apart. Most individuals need between 2 – 4 treatment sessions to achieve optimal results. During your KYBELLA consultation at our Burleson, TX office, Dr. Anees will assess your specific needs and create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results.
How long does swelling last with KYBELLA?
Swelling is a common side effect after KYBELLA injections and is nothing to be concerned about — in fact, it's a sign that the treatment is working to remove chin fat. The swelling usually peaks within the first 24 – 48 hours after the procedure and can last up to two weeks. In some cases, mild swelling may persist for a few weeks longer. Applying ice packs and keeping your head elevated can help reduce swelling and discomfort. Dr. Anees and our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help manage swelling and ensure a smooth recovery.
How long does KYBELLA last?
One of the most attractive aspects of KYBELLA treatment is its long-lasting results. Once KYBELLA destroys the targeted fat cells, they do not regenerate. This means that the reduction in chin fat is lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight. While the treated area will not accumulate new fat, it's essential to follow a healthy lifestyle to prevent the development of fat in other areas. Regular follow-up appointments at Med Spa At Seena One will allow our team to monitor your results and address any concerns you may have.
