Fat Reduction & Body Contouring
Fat reduction can be accomplished in various ways. Here at VT Med Spa, we offer multiple options, which you can learn more about below.
The best procedure depends on several factors, including the patient’s age, size, treatment location, and degree of skin laxity. Some methods require more downtime, which may affect your decision. The consultation process is designed to help you decide which procedure is most suitable.
Syringe Liposuction for Face, Neck, and Arms
Syringe liposuction is an office-based small-volume liposuction procedure. Our focus is to help the patient regain a more youthful body contour of the face, neck, arms, and other small areas. We often combine this procedure with laser lipolysis to create more skin tightening and reduce bruising. We can also use the harvested fat to produce microfat, which can be used for facial volume restoration and skin rejuvenation. Downtime is usually limited to a few days.
- Number of Treatments: 1
- Procedure Length: 1-3 Hours
- Maintenance: Diet & Exercise
- Downtime: 2-7 Days, depending on area
- Discomfort: Mild to moderate

Kybella® Chin Fat Reduction
KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.”
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
- Number of Treatments: 1-3 (one-month interval)
- Procedure Length: 15-20 Minutes
- Maintenance: Diet & exercise
- Downtime: Mild swelling under the chin for 2-4 days
- Discomfort: Mild discomfort for 24 hours.
