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.
What Are the Benefits of KYBELLA?
At Iteld Plastic Surgery in Chicago, IL, we work with many patients who feel self-conscious or insecure about their chin and jawline. KYBELLA injections can help create the well-contoured jaw you've always wanted, providing benefits such as:
- Noninvasive alternative to surgical procedures
- Little to no downtime after treatment
- Quick appointments that are easy to fit into your packed life
- Results are noticeable shortly after treatment
Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
Wonderful team - could not be happier with the results - I had a great experience. Dr. Iteld and his team treated me with respect, were compassionate towards my concerns, and were very thorough in their explanations of what to expect and the step by step process for preparing and recovering from surgery. Staff offered after hours support for any concerns that may have arisen post surgery (thankfully I’ve had none) and treated me very well. I could not be happier with the results of my surgery and the care provided by Dr. Iteld and his team. Dr. Iteld and his team were very inclusive towards the lgbtq+ community, always using my preferred name and pronouns and has performed many of these surgeries. Queer folks looking for gender affirming surgery are in good hands here.
I recently underwent a breast reduction surgery, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Dr. Itedl, Kimmy, and the receptionist Ashley were incredibly professional, guiding me through every step and addressing all of my concerns. The surgery itself went smoothly, and the recovery process was much easier than I anticipated. I’m 5’3 and 120lbs with an original cup size of a G. Dr. Itedl nailed the shape and areola size of my breast to match perfectly to my frame. One of the biggest benefits has been the relief from upper back, neck, and lower back pain, which was the main reason I opted for the procedure. The results look so natural, and the scars are already starting to fade. If you’re considering breast reduction surgery, I highly recommend it. It has been truly life-changing for me. The outcome has been everything I hoped for and more!
Kimmy is a phenomenal injector and is extremely knowledgeable about PRF/EZ Gel, energy based treatments, scarring, and her insight and education about facial anatomy, the aging process, and treating general cosmetic concerns for various ethnic skin types is extensive and surpasses any other injector I’ve encountered before. She is warm, patient, very empathetic, and I always feel fully heard and cared for during my appointments. She is so friendly, dedicated and passionate about what she does, and she truly shines in her role. Iteld Plastic Surgery (and her patients) are so lucky to have her! She’s a true gem! Keep up the good work!
I have made an appointment for a consultation with Dr. Iteld. First, as most should know, liposuction is NOT for weight loss, but "body conturing", though after a procedure, "minimal" weight loss may occur. Secondly, it is important that good research should be done BEFORE considering this procedure. DO NOT SETTLE for just anyone. Dr. Iteld is a highly accredited plastic surgeon. Even before making my appointment, I was extremely impressed by the patient, kind, informative and professional attention from one of his staff members. Rarely does one find such people these days. So, whether I am a candidate for this procedure or not, and especially as a retired medical professional, myself, I can honestly say, I KNOW I chose the right professional and staff, who are in a beautiful setting with plenty of parking. Good luck to all who are interested in an appropriate surgeon and procedure !
I had an incredible experience at Iteld Plastic Surgery, thanks to Kimmy! She took so much time with me, ensuring that I felt comfortable and understood every step of the process. Her attention to detail is unmatched—she’s meticulous and thorough, making me feel confident and ready for my wedding day. On top of that, Kimmy is soooo sweet and a pleasure to be around! I can’t recommend her and the office enough!
