Q: Peggy from Hopewell has this week’s question… Dear doc, I’ve been working out religiously for over a year, and have pretty much met my goal of losing 30 pounds. However, the fat just below my chin remains, and it’s driving me crazy. What can I do about it?
A: Peggy from Hopewell, I’ve got great news for you. There is actually a new injectable on the market that does exactly what you have been wishing for. It is called Kybella. This medicine which is injected by a plastic surgeon under the chin basically melts away the excess fat that you can’t get rid of. Treatment usually takes about 15 minutes and is done right in the office. It usually take a few weeks to see results as your body eliminates those fat cell but the best thing is that you can go right back to work the same day and it doesn’t need surgery.
