Kybella Chattanooga

If a double chin has been the bane of your existence (and reason for a lack of a good selfie photo), there is now a reason to rejoice and keep your chin up – literally. That reason is Kybella, which was FDA-approved last year as a nonsurgical injectable treatment to dissolve fat under the chin.

How Kybella works:

Fat can be ‘melted away’ and excreted by the body * Individual Results May Vary

When injected correctly, all the healthy cells around the submental fat should remain intact and unaffected as well as nearby nerves and muscles.

Immediately after the fat dissolving injection is released, it causes lysis destroying the fat cell membrane.  As a result, the cells breakdown and release their fatty contents. While it’s not exactly like melting a stick of butter in the microwave, it does breakdown the solid fat cells. The body recognizes the fat dissolving injection substance in a similar way the liver recognizes bile and naturally metabolizes it before the by-product is excreted.

When injected correctly, all the healthy cells around the submental fat, remain intact and unaffected as well as nearby nerves and muscles.
