Does it really work?
A study showed that the procedure was highly effective at minimizing excess chin fat. According to 20 clinical trials conducted all over the world, 79% of patients who received a Kybella injection said they were happy with how they looked in the concerned areas.
Key Takeaway
Many people who have double chins want to get rid of them. One of the ways to do it is through a Kybella injection, which is a non-surgical treatment that destroys fat cells. It is administered under the skin in the area under the chin and has minimal and non-serious side effects. It’s important to consult with your doctor before you go ahead with one. However, since obesity is the root of weight gain in all areas of the body, experts recommend healthier eating choices and regular exercise. Consult a Registered Nutritionist-Dietitian and a Lifestyle Medicine Specialist for a more holistic approach.
