Dr. Morehead has the training and expertise to help improve the appearance of your chin, face, and teeth.

What is Kybella?

Fat that develops under the chin can be stubborn and difficult to eliminate. This is especially true when you lose weight and have loose skin in this area. Kybella is an injection approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the purpose of treating submental fullness, which is another name for a double chin.

Before Kybella received FDA clearance in 2015, the only way to treat a double chin was through liposuction, an invasive plastic surgery. Each Kybella injection contains deoxycholic acid that gives you a more balanced facial profile. Kybella can be an excellent alternative if you have a moderate amount of excess chin fat. If you are significantly overweight, you should wait until you have lost as much weight as you need to before scheduling this procedure.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

As you age, your face begins losing its natural fullness. Dermal fillers add volume to your face to disguise wrinkles, reduce sagging, and correct other minor cosmetic issues. You receive a gel injection that temporarily reduces the visible signs of aging. Dermal fillers contain hydraulic acid that replaces elastin and collagen, which allows you to look and feel more youthful.

The results of Kybella and dermal fillers in Central City, KY, last several months before you need to consider repeating the procedure. Please contact David S. Morehead Family Dentistry to request a consultation today.
