Permanent fat reduction using Deoxycholic Acid (also known as Belkyra / Kybella) is used to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe submental fat below the chin (“double chin”). Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Deoxycholic acid destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is needed once you reach your desired aesthetic goal. Other treatment areas include the abdomen, arms, knees, bra roll/armpit fat, and hips area.
