What can I expect during a Kybella appointment?

Kybella represents and exciting advance in the nonsurgical treatment of submental (beneath the chin)  fullness secondary to the presence of a large volume of subcutaneous fat.  Our practice is one of a handful in Los Angeles that have been selected by the manufacturer of Kybella to perform the initial  treatments with this new product as it is being introduced to the general public.During your initial appointment for a Kybella consultation at Wave, you will meet with a consultant to determine if treatment with Kybella will meet your aesthetic goals, and if you are a candidate for such a treatment. If the answer to these questions is yes, you will be seen by one of our surgeons, who will do a thorough history and physical examination, and discuss with you all of the different considerations that relate to treatment with Kybella, including the schedule of injections, since Kybella is usually not a single injection treatment.  The treatment itself is remarkably quick and easy to do, and recovery and downtime is minimal. This makes it one of the most exciting new options for patients looking to improve the appearance of their neck, chin and jawline without resorting to surgery.

Kybella is an amazing
injection to dissolve the fat under the chin. The number of treatments
depends on the individual fat under the chin and how many units of Kybella are
injected. The average series of injections of Kybella is two to four
injections. You need to wait 6 to 8 weeks in between injections.A skillfully trained provider will determine how much is needed to treat the designated area. We typically apply a topical numbing cream as well as inject with Lidocaine to ensure that the treatment will be comfortable and virtually painless.  After the treatment, we suggest anti-inflammatory remedies and ice for comfort and swelling reduction.#Kybellafatinjections   #doublechintreatments  #Kybelladestroysfat

What to expect during a Kybella treatmentThe BioSpa Newport Beach provides complimentary consultations to determine if individuals are a candidate for Kybella. If so, a treatment plan will be determined and explained. Each patient is different, so the number of injections and total number of treatments will vary. The FDA states patients may receive up to 50 injections in a single treatment, with up to six single treatments administered no less than one month apart. The initial thought is that patients with moderate double chin fat will require approximately 15-20 injections in a single treatment, with a total of 2-3 treatments. The Kybella treatment is performed at our BioSpa by Pacific Center for Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach as a non-surgical treatment. Kybella is administered as an injection into the fat tissue in the submental area (under chin). Multiple injections are required with each treatment. Total treatment time will take about 20 minutes. There may be some mild discomfort during the injections. Prior to treatment, ice can be used to numb the area or a topical numbing cream is another alternative we have available. This will be discussed during your consultation.#Kybellafatinjections   #doublechins   #Kybelladestroysfat
