Reduce a Stubborn Double Chin in the Little Rock Area
While losing weight does make the numbers on the bathroom scale go down, it doesn’t guarantee a reduction in the areas you wish were smaller. Take, for example, a double chin. You may say goodbye to your love handles after dieting for months, but get frustrated at the stubborn fat that still gives you a bulky neck and poorly defined jawline. That exact problem is why we provide Kybella® at the Little Rock area’s Dermatology Group of Arkansas.
Designed to focus on reducing the small pocket of fat that creates a look of “submental fullness”—better known as a double chin—Kybella® is an injectable cosmetic treatment that is convenient and ideal for anyone who wants to target their neck area for a slimming result. Our providers are specially trained and experienced in administering Kybella® to produce beautiful, natural-looking results.

How Does Kybella® Work?
Fat cells are not like stuffing that you can pull out of a cushion to make it smaller. Instead, they are like balloons that grow and shrink depending on a range of factors, including diet, exercise, and genetics. Even if you eat right and work out consistently, the fat cells in a double chin can stay the same size as volume reduces elsewhere on the body. Women and men who do manage to reduce their double chins might see them return some day, since the cells don’t go away. They can get larger again if given the opportunity.
Kybella® goes after the source of the cosmetic problem by “popping” those balloons. The active ingredient in the injectable, a dietary acid known for breaking down fats, causes the unwanted cells to dissolve. Your body then processes the fat, leading to a gradual reduction in volume. Fewer fat cells means a shrinking bulge—and since the cells are gone, they are no longer able to get larger again.
With Kybella®, the Little Rock area’s Dermatology Group of Arkansas can specifically target the stubborn fat cells that cause submental fullness—better known as a double chin. The treatment is an injectable form of deoxycholic acid, so no incisions are necessary. Results appear gradually as fat cells break down and are flushed from the body.
There is minimal down time needed for recuperation and recovery after a Kybella® treatment, due to some post-injection swelling.
Ideal results typically require multiple Kybella® treatments—often two to four injection sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. The reduction happens gradually as fat cells are broken down.

What Can Kybella® Address?
Kybella® is FDA approved to reduce fat cells in a double chin, but it can also safely be used in other areas where small pockets of fat are known to resist dieting efforts.
What Else Can Help with Submental Fullness?
For some patients, a double chin is not caused by excess fat, but by excess skin. Having loose tissue in the neck area can give the face a “bottom-heavy” look and obscure a clean silhouette. SkinTyte™ is a laser treatment that coagulates collagen and encourages production of more, fresh collagen to create a firmer, tighter look.
The dermal filler Juvederm® Voluma, injected into the mid-face to restore volume to the apple of the cheeks, can also provide a lifting effect to reduce the appearance of jowls.
Patients who have both fat and skin issues can discuss options for treating both to achieve a sleeker profile.
