  • Submental fullness due to submental fat, sometimes referred to as “double chin” or “turkey neck”.  This is a common yet undertreated facial aesthetic condition.
  • KYBELLA (deoxycholic acid) injection, also known as ATX-101, is the first and only FDA-approved injectable drug that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness due to submental fat.
