Khloe’s Got Her Chin Up with Kybella: 5 Reasons You Should Too

by

It’s got the potential to revolutionize our pursuit of perfection. So much so, it’s been called the next Botox. Recently Kybella even made Khloe Kardashian the face of their new Chin Up campaign. To note, this is about fat, not wrinkles. Curious about Kybella? This blog’s for you…

Kybella (deoxycholic acid, ATX-101) is the only injectable that is FDA approved to treat unwanted fat under the chin. This innovative technology was developed in a lab to mimic a natural molecule in our bodies that helps to breakdown fat. When Dr. Davis injects this into the chin area, it kills fat cells but, rest assured, doesn’t harm other skin cells in the area.

Still reading? Great! We’ve got 5 reasons you may want to consider Kybella treatment for yourself:

  1. Kybella is non-surgical.
  2. The treatment itself only takes 15 minutes and there’s little to no downtime.
  3. Treatment with Kybella does not hurt; nor will you be uncomfortable after treatment.
  4. Side effects? Outside of mild swelling, not really.
  5. Kybella has a 96% Worth It rating on RealSelf!

Achieve Your Beauty Resolutions in 3 Steps

by

Did you set specific resolutions about your appearance this year? Chances are you did! But do you have a plan for achieving them? Unfortunately, Forbes reports that only 8% of people achieve theirs each year. But don’t worry… We can help! Just consider these 3 simple steps:

1. Make Your Goals Specific
Those generic, broad-scope resolutions to “lose weight” and “look younger” are likely a fast path to failure. If you make your goals more specific — “get rid of love handles,” “smooth out wrinkles,” “wear sunscreen every day!” — you’ll know exactly what you need to do and be more likely to take the necessary action to meet those goals.

2. Make Them Realistic
While a having a specific plan is a fantastic step in the right direction, it’s also important to consider how realistic it is.

  • “I want to look more rested.” Yes —Easily achieved with Botox or a brow lift.
  • “I want to look 25 years younger.” No — A facelift can turn the clock back by about 10 years. We’re not sure how you’d shave off 25…
  • “I want to lose a couple of inches on my thighs.” Yes — Easily achieved with lipo or CoolSculpting.
  • “I want to lose 20 inches all over.” No — Unfortunately, nothing in the plastic surgeon’s office is a weight-loss solution. There’s also a limit to fat removal, for safety’s sake.

3. Plan Your Budget
So what’s it going to cost… and how are you going to pay for it? Simple: First, you book your consultation to find out what exactly what amount you’re budgeting for this year. Second, you determine if you’re going to need financing options, such as those offered through CareCredit. Either way, we’re here to help, so just ask if you have a question or need any kind of assistance.

Happy New Year!

Weight Loss Inspiration

by

It’s that time of the year when a significant number of Americans resolve to get healthy and lose weight. For those who have 100 pounds or more to lose, it often becomes a question of surgical options, such as gastric bypass. But surgery doesn’t always stop there, especially when the resulting weight loss leaves behind a whole lot of hanging, empty skin. Enter Dr. Davis.

“When people gain a tremendous amount of weight, the skin stretches out,” Dr. Davis told Prevention in a recent article. “Then when they lose that weight quickly, they’re left with loose, hanging, empty skin.”

This loose skin is often removed using some combination of body lift, leg lift, arm lift and breast lift procedures.

According to Dr. Davis, “As a general rule of thumb, each of these procedures ranges from $5,000 to $15,000.” Further, each procedure requires about 2 weeks of recovery and around 8 weeks before having another.

Yes, addressing skin issues can be a lot more expensive and time consuming than the initial weight loss surgery. However, patients who have going through the whole process will tell you that they’d do it all again to achieve their results.

For Dr. Davis’ patient Antoinette Liberati, choosing to to have post weight loss plastic surgery was part of her transformative process. “Once that [excess skin] was gone, I really felt like I had accomplished something,” she told the magazine.
