A double chin also referred to as the selfie-killer by some or submental fat by medical professionals, is one of the most hated imperfections on the body. In fact, the American Society for Dermatological Surgery did a study that found 67% of people are bothered by fat under their chin.
Most people are aware it can be caused by weight gain, but many don’t realize genetics and age can also play a role. Even with all the peculiar looking exercises found online that claim to melt the fat away under the chin, it can be a problem that just won’t go away.
After years of trying to lose the extra fat under the chin, many give up and resort to finding ways to hide it. The recent obsession with using make-up to contour the face and neck has focused on using bronzer to conceal the unwanted fullness. Selfie connoisseurs have taught us all that taking picture from a higher angle well above our face is another way to make sure this unflattering area doesn’t show up in our pictures. But, what happens when we wash the makeup off or when someone else takes our picture from a less flattering angle and tags us in it online?
In the past, plastic surgery was one of the only ways to correct a double chin. Now, a new injectable prescription is breaking into the market with a quick and simple solution that doesn’t require surgery.
Approved by the FDA, Kybella is making a name for itself destroying fat cells that cause double chins all around the nation. A series of small injections only take about 15 minutes and are done in-office at the Advanced Eyelid Surgery Center in Colleyville or Fort Worth by Dr. Davis. One of the biggest breakthroughs is that the fat cells are permanently destroyed so once patients achieve their desired look, no further treatments are typically needed.
