Understanding the differences between these options can help you make the right choice for your aesthetic goals.

At Medical Aesthetics, our expert team includes board-certified nurse practitioners and master injectors who specialize in Kybella® treatments. As a women-owned practice, we provide advanced, personalized aesthetic care to help patients achieve natural-looking, confidence-boosting results.

What is Kybella®?

Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid to dissolve fat cells under the chin. Once treated, the fat cells can no longer store fat, leading to permanent fat reduction in the area. According to a study published in the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 86% of patients reported satisfaction with their Kybella® results after completing their treatment series.

Benefits of Kybella®

Choosing the right double chin treatment can be overwhelming, but Kybella® offers a non-surgical solution that permanently reduces fat under the chin. If you’re looking for a way to improve your profile without surgery, Kybella® may be the right choice. Some of the benefits include:

  • Non-surgical double chin treatment with no incisions.
  • Minimal downtime and a quick recovery process.
  • Permanent fat reduction after completing the recommended sessions.
  • Gradual, natural-looking results that improve over time.

With its ability to destroy fat cells permanently, Kybella® continues to be a top choice for patients who want long-term results without surgery, providing a sense of security in your decision.

How Does Liposuction Compare?

Liposuction is a surgical procedure that physically removes fat cells through suction. While it provides immediate results, it requires anesthesia, recovery time, and potential post-procedure swelling. Here are some key differences:

  • Invasiveness: Kybella® is non-surgical; liposuction requires an incision.
  • Recovery: Kybella® has minimal downtime; liposuction involves a healing period.
  • Results Timeline: Kybella® results develop over weeks; liposuction results are immediate.

For those seeking a non-invasive, gradual approach, Kybella® is often the preferred option. However, individuals looking for instant fat removal may opt for liposuction.

Which Treatment Is Best for You?

Choosing between Kybella® vs. liposuction depends on your goals, lifestyle, and preference for non-surgical vs. surgical options. A consultation at Medical Aesthetics can help determine the best approach for achieving your desired results.
