2.    Kybella

In 2015, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a treatment called Kybella, which is meant to treat moderate to severe fat below the chin. According to a statement released by the FDA, the treatment mirrors the body’s natural deoxycholic acid, which aids the body in the absorption of fat. Kybella is injected into tissue. Once injected, it destroys fat cells.  

That said, Kybella shouldn’t be used by just anyone. In other words, do your research before choosing this option.

“Treatment with Kybella should only be provided by a licensed health care professional, and patients should fully understand the risks associated with use of the drug before considering treatment,” says Amy G. Egan, M.D., M.P.H., deputy director of the Office of Drug Evaluation in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research in the statement. “It is important to remember that Kybella is only approved for the treatment of fat occurring below the chin, and it is not known if Kybella is safe or effective for treatment outside of this area.”

3.    CoolSculpting

CoolSculpting was originally approved for eliminating body fat on areas like the stomach and thighs. But the FDA has now approved this procedure for use on a double chin.

According to Glamour, this treatment is done using something called CoolMini. This is an attachment used with CoolScuplting. (Side Note: Cool Scupting is a method that reduces fat by way of freezing and destroying fat cells.)
