KYBELLA® Double Chin Treatment in Burleson, TX
A double chin can affect your confidence and the appearance of your jawline — and it is often resistant to diet and exercise, no matter how hard you try. KYBELLA® is an FDA-approved, nonsurgical injectable treatment that permanently destroys submental fat cells beneath the chin for a slimmer, more defined profile. At Seena One Corrective Skincare in Burleson, TX , Dr. Mukhtar Anees performs KYBELLA® injections with precision and care. Call (817) 718-1383 to schedule your consultation.
Request an AppointmentWhat Is KYBELLA® and How Does It Work?
KYBELLA® (deoxycholic acid) is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fullness — the excess fat beneath the chin commonly known as a “double chin.” The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the submental area, KYBELLA® destroys fat cell membranes, causing the cells to break down and be naturally eliminated by the body over the following weeks. Once destroyed, these fat cells cannot store or accumulate fat again — meaning your results are long-lasting and permanent for the treated cells.
Submental fat can result from aging, genetics, or weight fluctuations, and even individuals at a healthy body weight can struggle with a soft or less-defined jawline and chin area due to this stubborn fat. At Seena One Corrective Skincare in Burleson, TX , KYBELLA® offers patients a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures like liposuction or neck lift surgery for addressing this concern. The procedure involves several small injections administered to the submental area during a brief in-office appointment, with most patients seeing results after a single treatment — though some may require multiple sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart to achieve their desired look.
For patients interested in a comprehensive approach to facial contouring, KYBELLA® pairs well with injectable treatments like BOTOX® or JUVÉDERM® to address both the chin area and the overall facial profile simultaneously. A liquid facelift combining multiple injectables may also be an excellent option for patients seeking full facial rejuvenation.
What to Expect During Your KYBELLA® Treatment
Your KYBELLA® appointment at Seena One Corrective Skincare begins with a consultation to confirm your candidacy and develop a personalized treatment plan. On the day of treatment, the submental area is cleansed and a numbing cream can be applied for comfort if requested. Dr. Anees will then administer several small injections into the targeted fat beneath the chin. Each treatment session takes approximately 15–20 minutes. Some patients achieve their desired results after a single session, while others require up to six treatments spaced at least one month apart.
Following KYBELLA® treatment, swelling, bruising, numbness, and temporary firmness beneath the chin are common and expected. These effects are a sign that the treatment is working and typically resolve within 2–4 weeks as the body processes the destroyed fat cells. There is minimal downtime — most patients return to their regular activities within a few days. The gradual elimination of treated fat cells means that final results become visible over several weeks to months following each treatment session.
Frequently Asked Questions About KYBELLA® in Burleson, TX
How many KYBELLA® treatments will I need?
The number of KYBELLA® treatments needed varies depending on the amount of submental fat and your desired aesthetic outcome. Some patients at Seena One Corrective Skincare see results after a single treatment, while others may require up to six sessions spaced at least one month apart. Dr. Anees will assess your chin profile and recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Are KYBELLA® results permanent?
Yes — once KYBELLA® destroys fat cells in the treated area, those cells cannot regenerate or store fat again. This means your results are permanent for the treated fat cells. However, significant weight gain after treatment could cause remaining fat cells in the area to enlarge, so maintaining a stable, healthy weight is recommended to preserve your results.
What is the downtime after KYBELLA®?
Swelling, bruising, numbness, and firmness beneath the chin are common after KYBELLA® and are expected signs that the treatment is working. These effects typically resolve within 2–4 weeks. Most patients at Seena One Corrective Skincare return to their normal activities within a few days of treatment, though some social downtime should be planned for the initial swelling period.
Is KYBELLA® safe?
Yes. KYBELLA® is FDA-approved and has a well-established safety record when administered by a qualified provider. At Seena One Corrective Skincare, all KYBELLA® injections are performed by board-certified physician Dr. Mukhtar Anees. During your consultation, Dr. Anees will review your medical history and confirm that KYBELLA® is the right treatment for your individual needs and goals.
Does KYBELLA® hurt?
A topical numbing cream can be applied prior to your KYBELLA® treatment at Seena One Corrective Skincare to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the injections as a series of small stings or a burning sensation that subsides quickly. Swelling and temporary numbness in the treated area are normal following the procedure.
Who is a good candidate for KYBELLA®?
KYBELLA® is ideal for adults who are bothered by submental fullness (a double chin) caused by genetics, aging, or weight fluctuations, and who want to avoid surgical procedures. Good candidates are in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and have moderate submental fat. KYBELLA® is not recommended for patients with infections in the treatment area, certain medical conditions, or those who are pregnant. Dr. Anees will assess your candidacy during your consultation at Seena One Corrective Skincare.
Can KYBELLA® be combined with other treatments?
Yes. KYBELLA® pairs well with other injectable treatments at Seena One Corrective Skincare such as BOTOX® or JUVÉDERM® for comprehensive facial contouring and rejuvenation. A liquid facelift combining multiple injectables can address the full face and neck for a more complete transformation. Our team will help you build a personalized combination plan during your consultation.
