New Treatment Allows Patients to Lose Double Chins without Surgery In recent years, more and more plastic surgeons are adopting minimally-invasive and nonsurgical means to remove fat. One of the latest treatments, Kybella, is still generating a considerable media buzz due to its unique capacity to correct the dreaded double chin.
Approved by the FDA in 2015, this injectable drug is identical to the deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring substance that absorbs fats. According to a recent report, this treatment “will kill and destroy the fat cells and then they’re naturally reabsorbed into the body over time”. The procedure is known to be quick and, as many patients attest, very painless.
