Impacting adults of all sizes and shapes, a Double-Chin is an issue that can have a significant impact on your self-esteem. Known as “submental fullness” in the medical community, a Double Chin impacts one of the most noticeable parts of your body: your face. The newly released double chin treatment Kybella™ could be the FDA-approved solution to your double chin.
A survey conducted in 2014 by the American Society for Dermatologic Study (ASDS) revealed that over half of consumers were considering a procedure to improve the appearance of their skin and that almost 70 percent of respondents were concerned about excess fat under the chin.

For many people who have dedicated months or years to healthy living and exercise, a double chin that refuses to go away is a source of embarrassment, and it can impact mood and personal outlook on life. Reducing the appearance of submental fullness can increase one’s confidence at any weight.
The arrival of Kybella™ (deoxycholic acid) as a solution for a double chin represents the first treatment of its kind. Board-certified plastic surgeons like Dr. Jeff Angobaldo of Renaissance Plastic Surgery have started offering this treatment as of the official launch of Kybella™ by Kythera Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. in the summer of 2015.
Dealing With a Double Chin
On an episode of The Doctors, the show profiled a young woman named Tricia, age 30. She revealed that she worked out at least four days a week and was considered normal weight, but she was still suffering from a double chin. For Tricia, her problem stemmed from microgenia, which is the medical term for a small chin. A small chin bone was to blame for her double chin.
Another woman profiled on the show said she recently lost weight but was dealing with a double chin that wouldn’t go away. Her doctor decided a scarless neck lift that included liposuction was the best way to reduce her “turkey gobble.” Another patient on the show received the injectable Radiesse as a solution for restoring the woman’s jaw line.
Kybella™ represents a new option for patients who have a double chin, and your plastic surgeon will develop a customized program to improve your chin profile. You may see improvement after just two to four sessions, and you may receive up to six treatments based upon your doctor’s recommendation.
