Submental Fat Removal & Treatment

What is Submental Fat?

Submental fat refers to the surplus accumulation of fat beneath the chin and along the jawline. This condition is commonly considered an aesthetic concern for many individuals. Various factors contribute to the development of submental fat, including genetic predisposition, the aging process, weight fluctuations, and overall body composition. Notably, even people with a healthy weight may experience this excess fat in the neck area due to genetic influences. Over time, innovative non-surgical treatments, such as injectables or procedures have been introduced to address submental fat effectively.

Kybella

About Kybella

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to reduce submental fat, commonly known as “double chin.” It contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the submental area, Kybella targets and destroys fat cells, leading to a noticeable reduction in the appearance of a double chin. The treatment is non-surgical and requires multiple sessions for optimal results. It has gained popularity as an effective alternative to invasive procedures for improving the contour of the jawline.

Results and Recovery

Kybella treatment typically yields gradual results, with noticeable reductions in submental fat becoming apparent over several weeks. Since the process involves destroying fat cells, the outcomes are considered long-lasting, as these cells do not regenerate. However, multiple sessions might be necessary for optimal results. After the procedure, some patients may experience swelling, bruising, or mild discomfort in the treated area. Recovery is generally manageable, with most individuals resuming their regular activities shortly after treatment. It is essential to follow post-procedure instructions provided by the healthcare professional to minimize side effects and ensure a smooth recovery process.

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are an effective treatment option for addressing certain types of acne scars. These peels involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes controlled exfoliation and shedding of the damaged outer layer. This process helps to improve the appearance of shallow acne scars by promoting skin regeneration and collagen production. Deeper scars may require multiple sessions for significant improvement. Chemical peels also aid in reducing pigmentation irregularities and improving overall skin texture. The recovery period varies depending on the depth of the peel, but most individuals experience temporary redness and peeling, which subsides within a week. Regular treatments can lead to noticeable long-term results.

PDO Threads

PDO (Polydioxanone) threads are a non-surgical cosmetic treatment used to lift and tighten the skin. These threads are made of a biocompatible material commonly used in medical sutures. During the procedure, the threads are inserted under the skin’s surface using fine needles, providing support and stimulating collagen production. Over time, the threads dissolve naturally, leaving behind improved skin texture and a more lifted appearance. PDO threads are a popular choice for individuals seeking a minimally invasive solution to address sagging skin and achieve a youthful rejuvenation without the need for surgery.

Results and Recovery

PDO thread treatments offer noticeable results for skin lifting and tightening, with improvements typically visible immediately after the procedure. As the threads stimulate collagen production, the skin’s texture and firmness continue to enhance over several weeks post-treatment. Mild swelling, bruising, or soreness may occur, but these side effects generally subside within a few days. Patients can usually return to their daily activities shortly after the procedure. Over time, the PDO threads gradually dissolve, but the collagen improvement can last for several months. Depending on individual factors, maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the youthful appearance achieved through PDO thread treatment.

Dr. Lamb is the best of the best. I have been her patient for several years and she is the best dermatologist I’ve ever had. Dr. Lamb’s ability to instantly diagnose anything on the skin is beyond impressive, and her calm, thorough, and expert in-office procedures have taken care of all of my dermatological needs. I trust her implicitly and have sent many of my friends to her. I am so grateful to have her as my doctor!

Dr. Lamb is amazing. I was referred to her eight years ago by my pediatrician. I just looked through my email and found the first email I sent her after we met. She has always gone out of her way to be informative and sensitive when discussing my family's dermatological needs (all four of us see her). In addition, she spends enough time with you to thoroughly examine and discuss any questions. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Lamb.

Dr. Lamb is a fantastic Dermatologist. She has appeared in various TV shows, but has always remained easy to talk to, warm, and caring. She takes the time to listen and you feel like her only patient. Dr. Lamb is a leader and a mentor. Her staff fits her personality and manner of working with patients. Her entire practice is welcoming and efficient, just like she is.

Dr. Lamb and her staff are simply wonderful. In addition to the skilled care received, the patient is treated with kindness and respect. No question is too naive and you will not feel rushed. For a “celebrity” doctor, Dr. Lamb is genuinely friendly and down to earth.
