My first visit, I went in to have a few different spots looked at their removed them to test while I was the office. Made it very convenient, not to have to schedule another appointment for the biopsy. I received multiple phone calls to schedule my six week follow up, which was today. Everything was handled during biopsy. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to share your positive experience. We truly appreciate it!

As a farmer, I'm outside exposed to the sun. My family has a history of skin cancer. I have been seeing Jennifer for many years and extremely pleased with her knowledge and honesty.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for leaving us a stellar review!
AMAZING! The staff was welcoming and pleasant. Since 2019, numerous doctors prescribed various treatments that never worked. Dr. Swofford not only listened, she made me feel that I was in the right place. In one day, she resolved an ailment that has plagued me since 2019. Great music selection as well (80s)!!!! 😊

What is the best treatment for double chin?

Double chin, or submental fullness, is a common problem in men and women. Various factors contribute to this problem, including genetics, aging, and weight gain. However, many people with fullness in this area are not overweight and are unable to get rid of this stubborn fat despite weight loss.

In the past, the only options for treating a double chin were liposuction and surgery. However, we now have a noninvasive and nonsurgical option that provides amazing results. Kybellaยฎ is a unique FDA-approved treatment for double chin.

What is Kybellaยฎ?

Deoxycholic acid, also known as Kybellaยฎ, is an FDA-approved treatment for excess fat in the chin region (also known as a โ€œdouble chinโ€).

Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring acid in your liver that helps break down fats. When injected into fat cells beneath the chin, Kybellaยฎ dissolves the fat cells, permanently reducing the appearance of a double chin.

Kybellaยฎ Before and After

Why choose St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery for Kybella?

At St. Louis Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, we are innovators and leaders in our field. We utilize treatments to address your concerns, and when others cannot find a solution, we will work with you to help you find a solution that will improve your life.

For example, Dr. Beal uses Kybellaยฎ as an innovative, non-surgical treatment for lipomas. While at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Brandon Beal led the treatment of a patient with a rare genetic disorder using Kybellaยฎ. Dr. Beal treated the patient with Kybellaยฎ, significantly improving the patientโ€™s painful lipomas. The patient improved so much that he did not require surgery. The patient noted that this was the longest period over the last decade he could go without surgery!

What can you expect?

Before any procedure, you will have a consultation with our expert cosmetic dermatologists. The physician will listen to you, perform a thorough evaluation, and provide an individualized treatment plan to address your needs and concerns.

First, our cosmetic dermatologists will examine your chin/submental area. Next, you will ice the chin for 5-10 minutes to minimize discomfort. We then will mark and clean the treatment area. Injections are individualized to sculpt your jawline. Significant improvement usually occurs after the second treatment. Typically, excellent results can be achieved with 3-4 treatments.

In the hands of our skilled expert cosmetic dermatologists, Kybellaยฎ is a minimally invasive treatment for double chin. Once your submental fullness is treated, your jawline will be sharper, rejuvenated, and refreshed.  

How long do results from Kybellaยฎ last?

Kybellaยฎ permanently destroys fat cells, leading to long-lasting effects. Studies with Kybellaยฎ began in 2007, and we continue to see long-lasting results, including persistent improvement in the chin profile with less fat, tighter skin, and a sculpted jawline.

What are the side effects of Kybellaยฎ?

The most common side effects are temporary swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, and redness in the treatment area. Injection site side effects such as hair loss and open sores have occurred. Rare reported side effects include temporary trouble swallowing, uneven smile, facial muscle weakness, and nerve injury โ€“ these are uncommon side effects when the treatment is performed by board-certified dermatologists.
