Kybella® Gainesville | Chin Contouring Northeast Georgia Plastic Surgery

Nonsurgical Injectable Neck Tightening

Overview

If you think you have to live with a double chin, you’re wrong. If you think surgery is the only way to get rid of the double chin, you’re wrong again. An effective, nonsurgical way to treat a double chin is with Kybella®. The injectable drug is used by the medical professionals at the Aesthetic Center of Gainesville to target the fat beneath the chin and in the upper neck. Kybella’s active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, works to destroy the fat in the area to leave a slimmer, more contoured neck and profile.

01

Procedure Technique

Deoxycholic acid, the active ingredient in Kybella®, works by destroying the dietary fat in the submental area. It will take 2 – 6 treatment sessions for patients to get their best results, but 79% of patients in clinical trials were satisfied from the final results of their Kybella® treatments and they reported feeling that they looked younger, happier, and more confident.

02

During / After Procedure

The plastic surgeon will clean the area to be treated and then carefully make multiple injections under the chin with the Kybella®. Patients generally begin to see results after 2 – 4 treatment sessions, but if needed, patients can have up to 6 Kybella® treatments with no more than a 4 week break between sessions. Many patients report minor, temporary side effects after their treatment, including pain, redness, numbness, swelling, and bruising.

FAQS

Are Kybella results permanent?

Once the Kybella® treatments have destroyed the fat cells in the submental area, they are permanently gone. However, patients should maintain a healthy, stable weight after the procedure to prevent weight gain in other areas.

Is Kybella safe?

Kybella® has been approved by the F.D.A., scientists have performed over 20 clinical studies, and over 1,600 patients have been treated with Kybella®. Patients should disclose their full medical history during their consultation, including any current medications, herbs, and supplements. Kybella® is not approved for use in patients under 18 years old and should not be used outside the neck and chin area.

Should I get Kybella or chin liposuction?

Kybella® neck treatments and traditional neck liposuction are both effective and similarly priced, but Kybella® does not involve surgery, general anesthesia, or a lengthy recovery. We will discuss both methods during the initial consultation and help the patient determine their best treatment plan.

“Treated me like family through the whole process”

Amazing physician and staff. Dr. Schaheen took extra time to explain everything to me and allowed me to ask questions, insured I had no complications after surgery, and treated me like family through the whole process.

Dr. Schaheen is professional, upbeat, encouraging & skilled!!! Her surgery on my hand far exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend for your surgery needs.

“Dr. Schaheen explains everything top to bottom”

I cut my pinky flexor tendon mid-July, and had a different doctor operate. When I hadn’t seen the greatest results, I went to Dr. Schaheen and she scheduled me for surgery immediately with full communication on what needed to be improved. My surgery was early October, and the scar is already almost non-existent! She is EXTREMELY knowledgeable, and a joy to talk to. She has the sweetest, most nurturing personality. Dr. Schaheen explains everything top to bottom. The only negative thing about her is that I can’t rate above five stars. Dr. Scaheen, you are a JOY!!!!!

- Miranda P.

“My hand was fixed right up!”

“Dr. Emily performed surgery on my hand after breaking it with a spiral fracture. I received plates and pins. Her bedside manner, professional, and knowledge were amazing! My hand was fixed right up! I have zero pain and full movement in my hand and fingers. And as a bonus, the scar from surgery is not even noticeable 🙂 I would recommend Dr. Emily time and time again!”

“Dr. Walton was absolutely wonderful!”

“We trusted Dr. Walton with our 4 year old who needed repairs on his little finger after a bad cut. We were very nervous to say the least! But Dr. Walton was absolutely wonderful!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!”
