Tampa Bay, FL —
Submental fat, or “double chin” as it is commonly called, results from an accumulation of fatty tissue
under the jaw and chin. Dr. Jeffrey Hunt, a specialist in Tampa Bay, explains
that this condition can be a source of discomfort and self-consciousness for many people. Traditionally, he says,
liposuction was the only cosmetic solution. However, a brand new injectable technique called KYBELLA™ is now available to help reduce excess fat in this area and improve
facial contour without surgery.KYBELLA™ is FDA-approved to reduce submental fullness (double chin) in patients
aged 18 years and older. Dr. Hunt says the injectable is comprised of deoxycholic acid, a molecule that naturally
occurs in the body. KYBELLA™ works by destroying fat cells in the targeted area, he explains, which can then be
removed through natural metabolic processes.At his practice, Dr. Hunt says he and his extensively trained
registered nurse, Kristen Thornley, ARNP and, performs this treatment on
individuals who are dissatisfied with their appearance due to double chin. He says that in addition to addressing
this condition, benefits of KYBELLA™ typically include:

Dr. Hunt states that he is excited to introduce KYBELLA™ to patients in the
wider Tampa area. He says KYBELLA™ can help a broad range of individuals who wish to improve their facial contour
without undergoing invasive surgery, and he advises people interested in this procedure to seek out an experienced
medical professional who is extensively trained in this technique to maximize comfort, safety, and
