Bye-Bye, Double Chin! Published February 01, 2017 @ 6:54am

We are excited to now add Kybella to this group of procedures.

KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called "double chin." The treatment is a series of small injections under your chin. It is a quick treatment session, usually just 15 minutes. The most common side effects are swelling, pain, bruising and numbness in the area injected.

Doctors Monks, Lovelace, Kendrick and Vaidya are offering this procedure to patients who are appropriate candidates. Patients must be over the age of 18. This is a cosmetic treatment and not covered by insurance.

Most patients require at least two treatment sessions and treatments are $1200.00 a session.
