What Is Submental Fullness?
A very common aesthetic condition, submental fullness affects a large number of men and women. The condition is affected by a number of variables including genetics, age, weight, and overall health. Unfortunately, this condition is difficult to handle, and in fact is often left wholly untreated due to a lack of understanding.
Once submental fullness has occurred, it is exceptionally difficult to alter with normal means, as it is very resistant to change through diet and exercise. For this reason, many men and women are left with a drop in confidence due to a condition they feel is outside of their control. Traditionally, patients could seek liposuction as an effective form of treatment. This method remains, and is still absolutely viable, however KYBELLA™ in Maryland is a new option, and provides some excellent benefits.
What Is KYBELLA™?
The product of exhaustive testing both in laboratory and in practice, KYBELLA™ utilizes new cosmetic technology that simulates a substance already in your body (deoxycholic acid). This synthetic is designed to destroy fat cells, and is administered via injection. The injected KYBELLA™ causes a reaction known as lysis (membrane destruction) with the fat cells present in the injected space. This membrane disruption ruptures fat cells, and allows the contents of the cells to be naturally metabolized by the body, thus removing the fat from the affected area.
Put simply, KYBELLA™ is an injection that “melts” the fatty cells present in your chin, and reduces the negative aesthetic appearance of submental fullness without the use of surgical procedure. KYBELLA™ is administered over a series of injections, likely done over the span of a month or more, depending on the patient’s need.

How Does KYBELLA™ in Maryland Benefit You?
The reason KYBELLA™ is so exciting to our practice is the sheer number of options and benefits it provides. These include:
- Recovery time. While the recovery time of liposuction is not necessarily very high, the KYBELLA™ injection improves the recovery period further, allowing for a smoother return to normalcy.
- “Down” time. While there will be redness, some swelling and occasional discomfort, KYBELLA™ will not require weeks away from work or your home life for recovery.
- No surgery. There are no incisions, open wounds, risks of scarring or anesthesia involved in KYBELLA™ injections.
Understand that these benefits are not intended as a biased comparison over traditional liposuction as a treatment for submental fullness. Both treatments have seen great success, and both share many of the same risks and rewards. KYBELLA™ is simply an alternative, and may offer benefits that appeal to a broader selection of patients.
