What Is KYBELLA?
If you find yourself wearing particular clothes or taking pictures at an angle to hide a "double chin," you're not alone. Even a small amount of fat around the upper neck can dramatically alter your profile. These excess fatty pockets under the chin (also known as the submental area) can be caused by weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics, leading to a softer chin and jawline and an overall less defined profile. To help men and women with this concern, Dr. Lawrence Iteld and the team at Iteld Plastic Surgery are pleased to offer KYBELLA, a revolutionary treatment for neck fat. Approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), KYBELLA is the first nonsurgical procedure for submental fat. The active component in KYBELLA is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid (DA), which acts similarly to the body's natural DA to break down and absorb fat cells. Once it's injected under the chin, you may see a noticeable decrease in fat. When the fat is removed, the cells cannot reform so you can enjoy your new, slim profile and well-defined jawline for years to come. If you struggle with your appearance due to unsightly submental fat, we invite you to reach out to our Chicago, IL office to learn how KYBELLA could help.
How Does KYBELLA Work?
KYBELLA injections are performed right in our office in Chicago, IL. Before starting, your injector may apply a numbing gel to the treatment area to desensitize your skin. After that, they'll administer a series of injections around your upper neck. The dosage needed and number of treatments will depend on your specific situation. The process only takes about 15 minutes, at which point you're free to get back to your day.

Kimmie is a great injector. My lips look so natural.The office staff are very kind.
I am from a small town in indiana, and picked this place for my upcoming surgery. I thought a fancy place like this I would get some upty people. That was NOT the case. Everyone in this office location was wonderful. Thank you 😊
Dr. Iteld and his team are incredible. I got a gender-affirming top surgery (double mastectomy) from him and from the consult through post-op he and everyone on the care team were so amazing. I felt cared for, listened to, and respected. He did such an amazing job. I'm so so happy and I would recommend him and his team for anyone considering plastic surgery!
From beginning to end my experience with Dr. Iteld and staff was amazing.I am thrilled with my results and the care that was taken to acknowledge me for who I am.I couldn’t imagine better people to place your faith in for the outcome you’re looking for.If you are looking for top surgery you will be wholly satisfied.I can’t say enough good things and I was never encouraged to leave a review until my last appointment.I only wish I had more things to go back for!
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience with Dr Iteld and the entire team at. From the very first consultation, it was clear that he is not only a top surgeon, but also someone with a truly authentic and comforting bedside manner. His attention to detail is unmatched, and his expertise in his technique gave me complete confidence every step of the way.What made this journey even more exceptional was the remarkable team supporting him. Linda was my rock through the entire process—by my side every step of the way with warmth, reassurance, and unwavering support. Carrol helped guide me both before and after surgery, making sure I always knew what to expect and felt fully prepared. And Kimmy, the fantastic nurse brought exceptional skill, compassion, and care to every interaction.Together, they prepared me, educated me, and made sure I felt completely comfortable from beginning to end. Their care, compassion, and professionalism made all the difference.I highly recommend Dr Iteld and his incredible team to anyone seeking the absolute best.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What can you expect after Kybella® injections?
Minor side effects, such as redness and bruising at the injection site, are natural and to be expected. These will resolve on their own soon after a session. Some swelling is to be expected and can last a few days.
The volume-reducing results of Kybella® take a bit longer to see and for most patients require two to four sessions. The membrane destruction and fat-removal process unfold over the following weeks and months. Throughout this time, you will see your double chin start to recede.
Who is a good candidate for candidate Kybella® Injections in Chicago?
Kybella® is intended for adults who are in good health and want to address small pockets of stubborn fat, but who do not want to choose liposuction. Do you have a double chin? Do you wish you didn’t? Congratulations, you sound like a great candidate for this treatment. A consultation at Iteld Plastic Surgery can confirm whether Kybella® and your cosmetic goals are a match.
What Complements Kybella® Injections?
Fat is not the only thing that can make a neck look soft and flabby instead of sleek and trim. Loose skin is a known associate of stubborn fat, especially when the fat itself goes away, leaving the skin. Radiofrequency-based treatments, such as Morpheus8, tighten away laxity. Talk with the Iteld Plastic Surgery team to discover which treatment options are best for you.
