Loosen Your Tie: Kybella for Men

Your parents or grandparents may have passed to you many gifts.

The family car. Your hair color. Their way with words. But, for many men, they’ve received an unwanted gift-- that of a hereditary double chin. Also known in the cosmetic surgery world as “submental fullness,” double chins have long caused practical issues for professional men.

It’s not uncommon for men afflicted with a double chin experience problems finding shirts and ties that fit appropriately. The outfits many men are forced to select appear either overly loose or fit uncomfortably tight, the latter requiring constant adjustment. But, it’s not all about the shirt.

The jawline of a man has been a source of pride for those with chiseled, angular features. The associations made with a strong jawline include vitality, attractiveness, masculinity and confidence. It’s not hard to see why men have long sought a solution to their appearance given these factors.
