Accumulation of excess fat tissue in the submental area can cause the appearance of double chin. This can make the chin poorly defined and adversely impact the overall facial aesthetics. Until now only liposuction cosmetic surgery was a viable solution to this condition. However, the introduction of Kybella non-surgical double chin reduction treatment has introduced a new alternative.

Starting Out Right

During the initial consultation for Kybella double chin reduction, the plastic surgeon will discuss various aspects of the procedure, including its estimated monetary amount so you know what your financial responsibility will probably be. The first goal is to help the patient make an informed and rational decision. Dr. Bryson Richards is a well-known plastic surgeon providing Kybella and other surgical and non-surgical aesthetic treatments to patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding communities.

Cost Comparison with Liposuction

Many new patients seek to compare the dollar figures of Kybella injectable chin reduction treatment with those of liposuction plastic surgery. While the price of the two procedures will vary case by case, but in general, the overall impact on your checking account of Kybella will be relatively lower than that of liposuction surgery.

Liposuction may involve general anesthesia, which will add about $400 to $600 extra to the costs of the procedure. If laser technique is combined with traditional surgery, the sticker price of laser treatment may be added. Liposuction procedure may be performed at an accredited ambulatory center, hospital or in-office surgical suite, which is another key dollar amount component.

These overhead monetary amounts are typically avoided in a non-surgical injectable procedure such as Kybella. Additional financial factors such as prescription drugs, surgical garment, medical tests, and post-op visits to the office of the cosmetic surgeon may also be avoided in case of Kybella treatment.

Liposuction is likely to involve a considerable amount of downtime, and the patient should account for the loss of work days involved. On the other hand, in case of Kybella injections, the downtime will be minimal. Dr. Richards receives patients from in and around Las Vegas, NV for Kybella and other aesthetic procedures.

Average Stipulated Price of Kybella

The price of Kybella is largely comparable to various other FDA approved injectable procedures such as dermal fillers and neuro-modulators like Botox and Dysport. The treatment provider will create a detailed treatment plan after taking into account factors such as the patient’s unique neck and facial anatomy, overall body weight and appearance, and their personal aesthetic needs and aspirations.

The treatment plan will involve multiple treatment sessions, usually ranging from two to four sessions. In more severe cases, up to six treatment sessions may be planned. The first treatment will typically require a higher number of Kybella vials, while the number of vials may reduce progressively with each treatment.

The overall impact of Kybella on your bank account will be determined in accordance with all these factors. On average, a single Kybella treatment session may cost around $800. In such case, if the patient undergoes a total of three treatment sessions over three months, the overall dollar figure of procedure would come to about $2,400. Patients should also explore various financing options to make the payments in convenient monthly installments at low and appealing interest rates.

Excess deposits of fat tissue in the chin and upper neck area is a common condition for both men and women. This excess submental fat can spoil the chin profile and make the chin and lower face appear aged and unsightly. Liposuction or other cosmetic surgery treatments are available to address double chin, but not every patient may choose an elective surgery.

In such cases, now patients have a new and highly effective non-surgical solution called Kybella, which is designed to reduce double chin without any cuts or incisions. Leading plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards has introduced Kybella treatment at his practice to address the aesthetic needs of patients in Las Vegas, NV and surrounding communities with regard to double chin reduction.

Safe and Proven Treatment

Kybella or ATX-101 is exclusively designed to treat double chin without plastic surgery. The treatment has received the FDA approval after extensive trials, and now it has become the first and only non-surgical treatment to be approved by the FDA for the reduction of submental fat or double chin.

Keith Leonard, the president and CEO of Kythera, the company that makes Kybella, says that it is a proven treatment that can be customized to match with the unique aesthetic needs of a patient with regard to an enhanced chin profile. As the treatment is non-surgical and the results are so effective, the patient satisfaction rates with Kybella are very high.

“With Kybella, physicians can offer a clinically-proven treatment that is customized to the patient and their treatment goals for an improved chin profile,” said Leonard. As an experienced cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Richards provides Kybella and various other state of the art aesthetic procedures to patients in Las Vegas, NV and nearby areas.

Test Results

The program encompassed over 20 clinical studies and 2,600 patients around the world. In the pivotal Phase III studies, over 68% of the patients affirmed a positive response to Kybella. The patients noted fat reduction in the area below the chin. Due to this submental fat reduction, many patients also reported emotional benefits.

Procedure

Kybella treatment program is tailored according to the specific condition of a patient. Kybella is administered through injections directly into the targeted submental fat area. A single treatment session can last for about 15 to 20 minutes. Most patients will require two to four treatments to achieve desirable outcomes. In severe cases, up to six treatment sessions may be performed.

Dr. Michael C. Edwards, the President of the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS), endorses Kybella as a revolutionary treatment with highly promising potential to transform the aesthetics field with regard to double chin reduction.

Dr. Edwards recommends that patients should select the best surgeon to achieve safe and desirable results with an advanced injectable treatment such as Kybella. The downtime involved in this treatment is minimal, and the risk of complication is very low, which makes it more popular with working people and busy moms.
