KYBELLA™ in Chattanooga

That double chin or submental fullness due to submental fat is a common condition that affects men and women of all ages. The double chin can detract from an otherwise balanced facial appearance, causing an older, heavier look as well as less facial harmony. Genetics, aging and weight gain can play a role in submental fullness, which is often resistant to diet and exercise.Kybella_Injection_Logo_RGB_v1

KYBELLA ™ (deoxycholic acid) injections can help with double-chin removal. KYBELLA is the first and only FDA-approved injectable drug that contours and improves the appearance of fullness due to submental fat.
