The 21st-century captured the imagination of science fiction writers due to its potential for unbridled technological innovation. Would we have jetpacks, flying cars, or people on Mars? We might not live among Martians, but the cutting-edge future of science can be seen in our incredible medical advancements. It seems like there is no problem surgery cannot solve. Recent developments in medicine are life-changing procedures that allow people to feel better about themselves and more comfortable in their skin.
You know what they say… “50 is the new 30.” People are living longer and staying active for more of their life, but sometimes our bodies seem not to notice the change. One of the biggest complaints among Dr. Austin’s older patients is fat deposits under the neck. Even with proper diet and exercise time seems to put fat where none belongs. Even if your skin remains fairly elastic, extra fat under your chin can add years or even decades to your appearance.
Luckily, there is a solution for unwanted fat under the chin: Kybella®.
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is a non-invasive procedure that requires no surgery. You heard that right; you can get rid of stubborn fat deposits under the chin with no scars or scalpels. Kybella® targets fat cells under the skin and removes them. The elimination guarantees that fat cells remain destroyed even with weight gain. Once fat cells are destroyed, they can never come back.
Am I A Good Candidate For Kybella®?
When determining if you are a good candidate for Kybella® Dr. Austin suggests his patients have good skin elasticity. You and the doctor can determine if you are a good candidate during your consultation.
It is also important to note that Kybella® is not a weight loss procedure. Rather, it targets stubborn fat pockets and helps remove bothersome fat that generally remains resistant to diet and exercise. Kybella® is appropriate for both men and women and targets people of any age.
Because Kybella® targets fat specifically, it cannot improve sagging or wrinkly skin on its own. If you want to take advantage of Kybella® but worry that your skin may make the results less noticeable, Dr. Austin recommends combining Kybella® with another medical spa procedure.
