Weight loss can improve your overall body composition, but it doesn't always guarantee that you will lose weight from the areas that bother you the most. A "double chin" may be caused by aging, genetics, or weight gain and is most often resistant to diet and exercise. The office of Charles P. Virden, MD is pleased to offer Kybella, a nonsurgical cosmetic treatment for men and women that is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to remove the excess fat that appears under the chin area, also known as the submental area. The Kybella injection is the perfect treatment for improving the appearance of moderate to severe submental fat under the chin. Board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Charles Virden has performed surgically neck liposuction for patients living near Reno, Nevada and Tahoe, but he is happy to have Kybella as a nonsurgical alternative for good candidates. Dr. Virden is the first surgeon in the area to be trained on official Kybella injection techniques. Dr. Virden's training and experience has provided him with a level of precision and skill that is essential for performing Kybella injections successfully.
