Doubles may be great for a game of tennis or cocktails, but a double is a loathsome and frustrating thing to have associated with your chin. A double chin is one of the most common facial imperfections that we hear patients discuss at our Miami-Coconut Grove aesthetic dermatology clinic. It is also one of the hardest problems to fix on your own, even if you eat the healthiest diet and exercise regularly. Fortunately, we offer a safe, effective, minimally invasive treatment that can dramatically improve the appearance of a double chin without needing to resort to invasive surgery or liposuction.
Kybella is a revolutionary, FDA-approved treatment that can dramatically improve the profile and appearance of moderate to severe fat accumulation below the skin. As we age, many of us develop this kind of fat deposit – called submental fat – because of our genes, which means that a fix is hard to come by naturally.
How Does Kybella Fix Double Chins?
Deoxycholic acid is a natural compound found in human bile which helps break down fat we consume by destroying fat cell membranes. Kybella is a synthetic version of this fat-destroying compound which works on the subcutaneous fat cells under the chin. It kills fat cells which are then naturally eliminated by your body, along with the injected Kybella, over the course of several weeks while surrounding tissues remain unaffected.
Kybella Treatment
The number of Kybella treatments and injections you will need depends on the amount of submental fat you want to lose and the chin profile you desire. One to five treatments is typically required, with each session involving the injection of one to two vials of Kybella. These sessions, which last approximately five to ten minutes, are usually scheduled about a month apart.
After receiving a Kybella injection, common side effects can include temporary swelling, numbness, pain, redness, bruising, and areas of hardness in the treated area. Any swelling typically peaks at 24 hours after the treatment and can last from two days to three weeks.
Since Kybella completely disintegrates fat cells, the effects should be permanent. Retreatment is typically not required, and many patients see visible contouring on their chin after just two treatments.

If eyes are the windows to the soul, then dark circles or bags under the eyes are unsightly curtains which can make your soul feel and skin look older than you actually are. While professional treatment may be needed to eliminate or minimize dark circles or bags in some folks, there are plenty of effective home remedies which can do the trick in the majority of cases.
When you meet with a physician, it is not uncommon to have questions about your condition, your prognosis, or treatment options and possible side effects of those treatments, to name a few. When you meet with a doctor (and it should be a doctor) to discuss lip augmentation and lip fillers, the same principles apply. If you are interested in improving the appearance and volume of your lips through these safe, effective and popular treatments, you’ll want to be prepared before and at your initial consultation.
Loose lips may sink ships, as the saying goes, but lip lines and wrinkles can sink your feelings about your appearance. These imperfections around your mouth are an inevitable conseqence of the aging process. Your skin loses elasticity as you age, making lines and wrinkles more visible as years go by. Fortunately, advanced cosmetic procedures and treatments can help reverse this process, reducing the visibility of lip lines and wrinkles and restoring a youthful, healthy, and natural appearance.
If the term “sun spots” wasn’t already taken by the sun itself, it is likely that it is the term we would use to describe what we instead call “age spots,” the flat, tan, or brown areas of skin which often appear on the face, hands, shoulders, and arms. Those areas are the parts of the body that are most heavily and frequently exposed to the sun, which is the main factor that leads to the appearance of age spots. But age spots do in fact become more frequent and pronounced as we get older. While age spots are not harmful, they can be unattractive and unwelcome, which is why plenty of people get treatments to reduce their visibility.
Even though most cosmetic surgery is elective, most patients looking to improve their appearance and address issues of concern would elect a non-surgical alternative if it was safe, less burdensome, and could provide equally impressive results. That’s why at Dr. Mariano Busso’s Miami aesthetic dermatology clinic, we specialize in non-surgical, minimally invasive therapies that rejuvenate skin, restore a youthful appearance, and boost confidence without scalpels and sutures.
Spring is here! Flowers bloom, the sun shines a little brighter and longer, and garages and attics get cleaned after a long winter. It is a season of renewal and rejuvenation. It is also the season of Mother’s Day. For busy and hard-working moms, we have just the thing for “Spring Fever”: a dermatologist approved “Mommy Makeover.” At Dr. Mariano Busso’s Miami – Coconut Grove aesthetic dermatology clinic, we offer a variety of non-invasive and affordable treatments which can put a spring in your step and make you feel like your best self.
If you have a double chin, you could eat the healthiest diet and follow the most rigorous workout regimen but still be stuck with this common and frustrating imperfection. Many of us develop fat below the chin – called submental fat – as we age. It is usually a matter of genetics, and it used to be something you could do very little about unless you opted for invasive surgery or liposuction. But not anymore.
Dermal filler injections are some of the most popular services Dr. Mariano Busso provides at his Miami aesthetic dermatology clinic. It is easy to understand why. Dermal fillers are minimally-invasive, safe, and extremely effective at counteracting volume loss that is a natural part of aging and a primary cause of wrinkles.
