Double Chin Minus One
For many people, one of the most stubborn areas of fat is the double chin. Even with a healthy lifestyle, extra fat can linger, making you feel self-conscious about your profile. Kybella is a non-surgical, FDA-approved injectable treatment that dissolves submental fat in the chin area. At Face Forward, our Houston Kybella treatments offer a safe, effective alternative to plastic surgery, helping you achieve a more sculpted chin and defined jawline.
A Slimmer, Younger-Looking Face
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to destroy fat cells under the chin. Its active ingredient, synthetic deoxycholic acid, is a synthetic form of a naturally occurring bile enzyme that helps break down dietary fat. When injected directly into submental fat (the area under the chin), Kybella permanently eliminates fat cells, preventing them from storing fat in the future.
Many patients see noticeable results after two to four treatments, with each session spaced about a month apart. Unlike plastic surgery, Kybella requires no incisions, no stitches, and little to no recovery time, making it a great option for those who want natural-looking results without downtime.
Your face without the extra
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wished for a more defined chin but found that diet and exercise just won’t budge the stubborn fat under your jawline, you’re not alone. Some people naturally accumulate fat in the submental area (under the chin), making it seem impossible to achieve a sculpted look without help.
Kybella might be the solution you’ve been looking for. This non-surgical double chin treatment destroys fat cells over time, giving your jawline a sleeker, more contoured appearance. The team at Face Forward Houston will assess your unique needs and design a customized treatment plan that works best for you.
Melt Away Stubborn Fat
Kybella is FDA-approved specifically for treating submental fullness—the stubborn fat under the chin that creates the appearance of a double chin. This treatment helps refine the lower face and improve jawline definition, without surgery. In the expert hands of Dr. Rodman, it can also be used to treat mild to moderate jowls. In some of our Houston Kybella patients, extra fat can weigh down the lower face and create jowls. This treatment can also be used to dissolve some of this fat.Â
While Kybella injections effectively destroy fat cells, they do not tighten loose skin. If skin laxity is a concern, Dr. Rodman may recommend a combination treatment to ensure the best results.
Refine, Define, and Glow
With Kybella Houston patients now have a non-invasive solution for reducing submental fat. If you’re looking for a way to achieve a sculpted chin without the downtime of a neck lift or liposuction, here’s why Kybella could be right for you:
Your Perfect Treatment Plan
During your Houston Kybella consultation, we’ll take a detailed look at your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine if Kybella treatments will help you achieve the look you want. If loose skin is a concern, we can explore other treatments or a combination approach to ensure the best possible results. We’ll create a treatment plan that gives you long-lasting, natural-looking results, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way.
Tighten and Improve
Getting Kybella injections is quick and easy, making it a great choice for busy patients who want effective fat reduction without significant downtime. Here’s what to expect:
For optimal results with Kybella Houston patients need at least two to four Kybella treatments, with sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart.
Feel Better, Look Your Best
Recovery from Kybella injections is relatively simple, but you should expect some temporary swelling initially. Swelling and bruising is most noticeable in the first few days and can last up to a week. Most patients feel comfortable going back to work within a day or two, though it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours to minimize swelling. The treated fat cells will gradually break down over four to six weeks, and full results are usually seen after two to four treatments. If you have any concerns about your recovery time or side effects, our team is here to help.
Precision and Artistry
Dr. Regina Rodman is a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Houston specializing in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Unlike general plastic surgeons, her expertise is exclusively in the face and neck, making her uniquely qualified to administer injectable treatments like Kybella with precision and artistry. At Face Forward, we take a personalized approach, ensuring that your treatment plan aligns with your aesthetic goals while maintaining natural-looking results.Â
Invest in Your Confidence
The cost of Kybella varies based on the size of the treatment area and the number of treatments needed.
Since pain tolerance varies, we use a topical numbing cream before the procedure to ensure a comfortable experience. During your private consultation, we'll assess your needs and provide a customized treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Most side effects are mild and include swelling, redness, and bruising at the injection site. In rare cases, temporary nerve injury or difficulty swallowing may occur.
Discomfort is usually mild and feels like a burning or stinging sensation for a few minutes after the injections. An ice pack and topical numbing cream help to minimize discomfort.
Yes! Kybella permanently destroys fat cells in the treated area. Once those cells are gone, they do not regenerate.
No. There are no safe or effective at-home treatments for reducing submental fat. Over-the-counter creams or unregulated injections can be dangerous and ineffective.
