A Word from Dr. Husain

“A double chin can be frustrating because it often does not respond to diet or exercise. Kybella is a game changer because it directly targets and destroys the fat cells under the chin. I have seen patients who were self-conscious about their profile for years finally feel confident after a series of treatments. It is a simple, in-office procedure with lasting results.”

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is an injectable treatment that contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in your body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat under your chin, Kybella destroys fat cells. Once these cells are destroyed, they cannot store fat again, which means your results can be permanent.

Kybella is FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate to severe submental fullness, which is the medical term for a double chin. Dr. Husain has helped patients from Raleigh, Morrisville, and across the Triangle achieve a more defined jawline with Kybella.

Am I a Good Candidate for Kybella?

Kybella is ideal for patients who are bothered by excess fat under their chin but are not ready for surgery. It is not a weight loss treatment. It is designed for patients who are at or near their ideal weight but have stubborn fat in this specific area.

Dr. Husain will evaluate your chin and neck area during a consultation to determine if Kybella is right for you. He will also discuss your goals and expectations to make sure you have a realistic understanding of what Kybella can achieve.

What to Expect During Your Kybella Treatment

The treatment is quick and performed in our Cary office. Dr. Husain will mark the injection sites under your chin and then administer a series of small injections. The number of injections depends on the amount of fat being treated.

Most patients describe the sensation as a burning or stinging feeling, which subsides quickly. Dr. Husain may apply ice or a topical numbing agent to make you more comfortable.

There is little to no downtime. You may experience some swelling, bruising, or redness in the treated area, which is normal and usually resolves within a few days to a week.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

Most patients need a series of treatments to achieve their desired results. Dr. Husain will create a personalized treatment plan, typically recommending two to four sessions spaced about six weeks apart. You will begin to see results after your first treatment, with full results becoming visible after your complete treatment series.

Once the fat cells are destroyed, your results are permanent. You will not need maintenance treatments unless you gain significant weight in the future.
