Kybella in Kansas City

Consultation

We start with a free consultation, where you sit down with one of our providers to discuss your interest in Kybella. Your provider assesses your chin and neck to determine if the area and condition are appropriate to treat with this injectable solution.

Once we determine that you are a candidate for Kybella, we create a personalized treatment plan for you.

Pre-Care Instructions

Before coming to Regain for Kybella, please follow these pre-care instructions:

• Eat a light meal or snack before your treatment.
• Arrive with a clean face free of makeup, lotions, or oils.
• Refrain from taking anti-inflammatory or blood-thinning medications (including ibuprofen and aspirin) within 10 days of getting Kybella.
• Avoid alcohol, tobacco products, and caffeine for at least 48 hours before your Kybella appointment.

Please also make sure to drink plenty of water the day of your appointment to stay hydrated.

Treatment

Before injections, your provider cleans your skin and marks the sites with a grid for accurate placement. Next, we place evenly distributed Kybella injections at every point on the grid.

This process for Kybella in Kansas City takes between 15 to 20 minutes and requires at least 2 to 3 sessions spaced one month apart.

Post-Care Instructions

After your Kybella injections, please follow these post-care instructions for best results and accelerated healing:

• Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for swelling and pain.
• Wait 24 hours before resuming your normal skin care routine.
• Use a cold compress to reduce swelling.
• Refrain from strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.
• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1 week after each Kybella session.
• Continue to avoid alcohol and tobacco products for another 48 hours.

Results

The results from Kybella reveal themselves gradually as your fatty tissue dissolves and the tissues tighten. Following your final session, you can expect to see a slimmer jawline fully developed after 3 to 6 months.

Fortunately, the results are permanent, meaning you don’t need any maintenance sessions to keep your chin area slim and contoured. However, please remember that you can still gain weight if you don’t follow a healthy lifestyle.

Causes of a Double Chin Beyond Weight Gain

Anyone with any body shape can experience a double chin, even individuals who maintain an overall slim figure. That’s because factors like your genetics and hormones determine where your body stores fat.

Weight gain also does contribute, especially because when you gain weight, it shows up across your whole body and your face.

Other factors that can contribute to the appearance of a double chin include:

• Aging
• Poor posture
• Skin laxity

How Does Deoxycholic Acid Get Rid of a Double Chin?

Deoxycholic acid is the main ingredient used in Kybella to shape a slimmer jawline without the need for surgery. This substance is actually found in our body already—your liver produces it to break down fats in our diet.

When used in Kybella injections, this acid melts fat for the body to reabsorb and dispose of.

The Benefits of Kybella

In Kansas City, we have many reasons to recommend Kybella. While patients love that it safely and effectively reduces the appearance of their double chin, it boasts the additional following benefits:

• Precise Contouring – Your injector can customize your Kybella treatment to your anatomy. We place the solution exactly where it needs to go, giving us more control over the outcome.
• No Surgery – No surgery means no incision, no scalpels, and no scarring.
• Gradual, Natural Transformations – Kybella works with your body’s natural processes, meaning the results will look natural. With our injectable treatment, you’ll gradually see results that won’t look “overdone” or too obvious.

Pair Your Kybella With…

We have a range of treatments to enhance your results for Kybella in Kansas City, including both aesthetic and wellness options. Our expert team can help you discover the perfect complements to achieve your desired outcomes.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers do more than fill in and soften wrinkles. They can also contour your facial structures, adding more definition in certain areas. When injected into the jawline, filler can add volume and give your chin more projection, which creates a more balanced profile and reduces the appearance of jowls or a double chin.

Medical Weight Loss

If weight gain has contributed to your double chin, we may recommend pairing Kybella with medical weight loss treatments, like GLP-1 medications, nutritional guidance, and exercise recommendations.

While full-body weight loss doesn’t always reduce a double chin, it can certainly help. At Regain, we care about your overall health and want to see you making the right choices in your daily lifestyle. With our supervision and treatment options, we can help you sculpt your jawline while slimming the rest of your body.

Hormone Replacement Therapy

Your hormones play a major role in fat storage and your metabolism. While hormone replacement therapy can’t contour your jawline, it supports your body to function optimally. During your consultation for Kybella in Kansas City, we can discuss your overall health and if treatments like HRT would work for you.

Hormone replacement therapy replenishes low levels of key hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone—which decline with age. With hormone levels back in a state of equilibrium, you can experience benefits like weight loss, more energy, and better skin health.
