Do you love your double chin? Chances are, even if you love your body, the answer is no. But there’s good news! There’s now a solution. And no, it’s not lipo.
Kybella, an injection that contains deoxycholic acid already in your body that helps to absorb fat, was just approved by the FDA. The injection dissolves fat cells under the chin by destroying the cell membranes and bursting the fat cells.
Its clinical trial included 1,022 people, and it was found to be able to bust a double chin in six months. It takes about 300 injections to get rid of it entirely, meaning that there are about 50 injections per session if you want to stay on schedule.
Hey, still better than a chin tuck, right?

There are possible side effects, of course, that include possible nerve damage to the chin, facial muscle weakness, and trouble swallowing. And of course, if you gain more weight, your double chin may come back. And if you have lots of excess fat or loose skin in the neck area, It may be in your best interest to get a necklift.
But if you’re looking to just get rid of the excess fat right under your chin, Kybella may end up being your solution! And yes, if you’re wondering, that fat-blasting magic is only FDA approved for chins.
