Kybella refines San Diego county profiles
Are you one of the 67 percent of the population (as reported by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery) bothered by fat under your chin? Would you like a trimmer profile, without surgery? Kybella injections from a Board-Certified Dermatologist in Encinitas, Dr. Amanda Lloyd, could be an ideal solution.
What causes double chin?
The clinical term is submental fullness, but you know the problem as double chin or turkey neck. It occurs when subcutaneous fat sags, causing a wrinkle and blurring the angle where the chin meets the neck. The condition adds years to your face and can make you appear heavier. Double chin may be age related, or the result of a weight increase. In some cases, family genetics cause you to store excess fat beneath the chin.Correction without surgery
Even with healthy eating and exercise, this is a tough spot to “work off.” Historically, your options were liposuction or neck lift surgery. Dr. Lloyd is pleased to offer another choice. Kybella is an FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment. It is formulated with deoxycholic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the human body. Injected into precise points beneath the chin, Kybella dissolves fat.Kybella Treatment

What is Kybella?
Kybella is the substance that is used to dissolve the submental fat. The submental fat is the area under the chin that creates the double chin appearance.
What is Kybella used for?
Kybella is deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is the same enzyme that your gallbladder uses to dissolve the fat that you eat. Kybella is injected under the chin to dissolve the fat in the submental areas so that you have a more well-defined chin line or junction between the chin and the neck.
Am I a candidate for Kybella?
Anyone with unwanted fullness under the chin is a candidate for Kybella.
What happens during a Kybella treatment?
On your Kybella treatment day upon your arrival at the skin and vein institute you will be checked in and then brought back to your numbing room, in our numbing room the numbing cream will be applied to your neck and you will relax for about 45 minutes. You will then be brought to the treatment room, where the Kybella will be injected in the area under the chin, along the junction between the chin and the neck. After treatment, there will be a slight burning which goes away after about 15 minutes.
What happens after Kybella treatment?
After your treatment with Kybella, you will notice some swelling under the chin for about a week, this is because the fat that was there is being dissolved and taken away by natural processes through your body.
When will I see the results?
You will see results from your Kybella injections after about 6-8 weeks. You will be treated again after 8 weeks with a second round of injections to further enhance your results. Kybella is both safe and effective. Kybella is the best treatment out there for removing the unwanted fat under the chin to give you a more well-defined jawline.
