It used to be that the only injectables around were either for your lips, around your mouth, or for your forehead. And although fillers and Botox are still some of the most popular injections amongst patients everywhere, there’s a new injectable in town: Kybella. Kybella is an FDA approved injection that is used to contour and improve the appearance of your profile while helping target the fat under the chin. Does Kybella sound like something you’re interested in? If so, we have created a brief article to help our patients feel more informed. Let’s debunk three common myths about Kybella.

Myth #1: It Doesn’t Work

If there’s one myth about Kybella that we are here to debunk it’s just how well it works. Although some people may claim Kybella doesn’t work, they clearly have never tried it. The absolute best thing about Kybella is just how well it works for patients each and every time.

Myth #2: It Doesn’t Last

Unlike injectables like fillers and Botox that need to be redone at least every year, if not every few months, the other unique benefit of Kybella is that it’s permanent. Because Kybella works by actually targeting and then destroying existing fat cells, unless you put on more weight, you won’t have to worry about getting it redone regularly. However, because excess fat under the chin is a natural part of the aging process you may have to get new Kybella injections every so often for upkeep, but not on a consistent basis.

Myth #3: It’s Only For People who are overweight

Let’s face it, no matter how skinny you are, your body can still store fat in unique and unexpected places like under your chin. As long as you are healthy and Dr. Gary J. Price gives you the go-ahead, it’s safe to say that Kybella is a good treatment for patients of most weights.

Getting rid of the fat underneath your chin doesn’t have to be difficult. Are you ready to learn more about Kybella? Schedule your consultation with Dr. Gary J. Price at our Guilford office today and call (203) 453-6635.

Double chins can be caused by genetics, weight gain, and old age. If you have a double chin that is making your self-esteem plummet, then it may be time to consider getting a non-invasive procedure like Kybella done from our office.

Kybella is an injection that is made up of deoxycholic acid. Once it has been injected into the fat underneath the skin, Kybella works to break down and absorb the fat cells and prevent them from accumulating again— leaving you with only one chin.

If you still aren’t sure if Kybella is right for you, we’ve created an article listing three benefits of getting this non-invasive treatment done.

Benefit #1: A Slimmer Physique

If you have worked hard to have a slim figure, but you still have a double chin, Kybella can give you that added push to make you look slimmer all around. Plus, if you are a big selfie taker, you won’t have to worry about what angle you’re taking a picture at because all angles will look good!

Benefit #2: No Surgery

Although surgeries like facelifts and neck lifts can give patients great results, they do require a fairly extensive recovery time. With a non-invasive treatment like Kybella, you won’t have to worry about any recovery or downtime involved. In fact, because it takes less than 30 minutes on average, you can come into our office on your lunch break to get it done.

Benefit #3: Permanent Results

If a slimmer physique and no surgery aren’t enough of an incentive to make you want to get Kybella, then permanent results might be. Because Kybella works by destroying the fat cells under your chin, once they are eliminated, they won’t return.

‘Tis the season for all things new and fresh. With tulips blossoming and the sun staying out longer every night, springtime is the perfect season to hit “refresh” on every part of your life— including your body. If you have wanted to lift and tighten up your face and body, consider adding the following things to your list. From working out regularly to getting Kybella, this article will discuss a few ways that you can refresh your body for a healthier you this spring. Read on to learn more.

Start a Workout Routine

Can you remember the last time you worked out? Do you have a hard time finding a workout plan that you can stick to? If you answered “yes” to either of those questions, you are not alone. Find the time, energy, and motivation to workout can feel impossible after a long day of work or taking care of a family. However, getting regular exercise is one of the best ways to “refresh” and take care of your body. Not only does regular exercise help you maintain a healthy weight but it also helps you take care of your heart, lungs, and blood sugar. To help you stick with a workout plan, try setting goals that are attainable. For instance, for the first week try to go to the gym once and then take the stairs while at work. Then, during your second week you can try going to the gym twice and take the stairs— the more you get into the habit of exercising, the easier it will be.

Start a New Healthy Diet

One of the best ways to hit “refresh” on your body this season is to eat a diet full of fresh fruits, veggies, and lean protein. Try cutting out excess fat and sugar from your diet and fill it with produce that is in a season. To find some inspiration on healthy recipes, look at Pinterest!

Price can help you get rid of that extra fat under your chin once and for all. Made of deoxycholic acid, Kybella works to naturally break down and absorb the dietary fat under your chin.

You may like double the fun, double stuffed Oreos, double trouble, or even doubled vacation time off of work, but the last thing you want double of is your chin. If you have started to develop a double chin as you age, Dr. Gary J. Price has a few options— one in particular— that can help contour your profile and give you a smoother looking physique: Kybella. Read on to learn more.

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is a non-surgical, FDA approved treatment designed with one goal in mind: to help you get rid of your double chin. Lasting only about 15-20 minutes, your Kybella procedure will be so fast that you won’t have to take any time off of work. By injecting a solution filled with deoxycholic acid into the area beneath your chin, Kybella works to dissolve the fat cells in this area and leave you with a more pronounced profile. Once these fat cells are dissolved, you won’t have to worry about them reproducing again.

What Is Recovery Like?

There is no downtime involved with Kybella, but patients who do receive this treatment can expect some redness, inflammation, and bruising under and around their chin. However, after just a few days, these symptoms should subside.

What Are Results Like?

Depending on how severe the area being targeted under your chin is, you will likely have to undergo several sessions. For instance, the average patient has to get about six treatments to dissolve the fat under their chin and give them optimal results. However, during your initial consultation with Dr. Price, he will tell you about how many treatment sessions he feels are necessary. Once the fat under your chin is dissolved, the cells won’t re-emerge on their own which means that as long as you maintain a healthy diet and get frequent exercise, your results should last.

With Kybella, you can get rid of your double chin in virtually no time. If you would like to learn more about this treatment or if you would like to schedule a consultation appointment, contact Dr. Gary J. Price today!
