Excess fat under the chin can be caused by age, weight, and genetics
KYBELLA can be used to improve your profile non-surgically.
Submental fat seems to be a thorn in the side of a lot of patients. There are few reasons why you would have an issue like this. Aging plays a major role because your skin has lost elasticity and starts to sag. It could also have genetic factors or it could be from recent weight gain. Either way, it can leave patients feeling sensitive about their appearance.
KYBELLA® may be right for you if you are concerned about the fat under your chin, you don’t want to have surgery, you feel older or heavier than you are, or your submental fullness does not disappear after diet and exercise.
Kybela Information
Dr. Sani can help you get rid of that double chin that just won’t seem to go away no matter how much diet and exercising you may do. His KYBELLA® treatment, which he has been certified in, will leave you with a much smoother contour.
Kybella, also known as deoxycholic acid, is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for adults specifically designed to reduce moderate to severe fat located beneath the chin, often referred to as a “double chin” or submental fullness. It offers a non-surgical alternative for individuals seeking to improve their chin and jawline profile.
Kybella contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which is similar to a natural molecule in the body that helps break down fat. When injected under the chin, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. Once destroyed, these cells cannot store fat again, making further treatment unnecessary once the desired results are achieved.
Causes of Submental Fullness
- Weight Gain
While weight gain is not always the cause of a double chin, it can contribute to it. A diet high in calories, processed and unhealthful foods may influence weight gain and a double chin as well.
- Genetics
Genes may play a role in people developing a double chin. Anyone with a family history of skin with little elasticity or double chins might be more likely to develop one themselves.
- Aging
The skin can start to lose its elasticity as the body ages, which can lead to the appearance of extra or saggy skin that may contribute to a double chin.
What is Radiesse?
A trained healthcare specialist like Dr. Sani administers Kybella through multiple small injections under the chin, tailored to the individual’s needs. Each session takes about 15-20 minutes, and multiple sessions are usually required, spaced at least one month apart.
Clinical studies demonstrate Kybella’s effectiveness in reducing submental fullness. According to Mykybella.com, in trials, many saw results in 2-4 treatments, with a high percentage of patients satisfied with their chin and face appearance. Results are considered long-lasting as fat cells are permanently destroyed. However, maintaining a healthy weight is important for sustained results.
Concierge Level Aesthetics
An ever-growing share of Dr. Sani’s practice comes from word of mouth. “My consultations are detailed for each patient. I am not afraid to turn away a patient if they are not the right fit.” Not everyone is a candidate for every procedure, and not everyone has a realistic expectation. Expertise and honesty are his hallmarks.

Kybella FAQ
How does KYBELLA work?
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, and once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. This results in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin, revealing an improved chin profile.
What is KYBELLA?
KYBELLA is the only method of treatment approved by the FDA that can be injected to improve the appearance of the submental fat under your chin. It does this by eliminating the cells of fat in the area. It has been evaluated in over 20 clinical studies and more than 1,600 people have been treated with it successfully.
KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine that can only be administered in those 18 or older to reduce the fat below the chin and improve the appearance of that moderate to severe fat.
How many treatments are needed?
When you come in for a consultation, Dr. Sani will be able to assess the number and frequency of treatments you need based on the amount of fat that is stored under your chin and your overall condition. One average a patient may receive several treatments no less than one month apart from one another.
The treatment is administered by Dr. Sani and takes around 15-20 minutes, but this can vary from person to person. You will receive a series of injections into the fat under your chin.
What is the average cost of treatment?
Your cost not only includes the price of the product, but more importantly, the skill and expertise of the healthcare professional who is administering your treatment. Look for someone who is licensed and trained and has experience treating patients with KYBELLA®. It is important to find an experienced specialist, such as Dr. Sani, who will take the time to understand your treatment goals and develop a treatment plan that is right for you.
How long will my results last?
When injected into fat under the chin, KYBELLA® causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat and are gradually within weeks eliminated naturally from the body. After reaching your desired aesthetic, further treatment is not expected.
