Fat dissolving injections, especially Kybella and similar treatments, have gained popularity across Denver and beyond as a non-surgical way to contour and slim targeted areas—like the chin, jawline, and under-eye bulges. However, misconceptions about these innovative treatments still persist. 

At Jeunesse Aesthetics in Denver, under the guidance of founder and expert injector Jessica Cordova, patients are empowered to make well-informed decisions about facial and body aesthetics. Let’s set the record straight by debunking some of the most common myths about fat dissolving injections.

Myth 1: Fat Dissolving Injections Are Only for Double Chins

A widespread misconception is that fat dissolving injections are limited to treating submental (under the chin) fat. While Kybella is FDA-approved specifically for the double chin, experts like those at Jeunesse Aesthetics safely administer deoxycholic acid for other small, stubborn fat pockets. Popular treatment areas in Denver include jowls, jawline, and even under the eyes for select candidates. Always seek a trained medical aesthetician with extensive knowledge of facial anatomy for personalized recommendations.

Myth 2: The Results Aren’t Permanent

Some believe that results from fat dissolving injections are temporary, but this is not the case. The active ingredient in treatments like Kybella permanently destroys targeted fat cells, which your body then naturally metabolizes. Once those cells are gone, they’re gone for good. However, maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve your results. At Jeunesse Aesthetics, clients receive expert guidance on keeping their refreshed, contoured look for the long term.

Myth 3: Fat Dissolving Injections Are a Weight Loss Solution

Fat dissolving injections are sometimes mistaken as a solution for overall weight loss. In truth, they are best suited for healthy adults near their goal weight who want to address localized fat pockets resistant to diet and exercise. If your priority is broader weight management, Jeunesse Aesthetics offers GLP1 weight loss injections and customized plans that may be better aligned with your objectives.

Myth 4: Non-Surgical Means No Downtime

It’s true that fat dissolving injections are minimally invasive compared to liposuction, but that doesn’t mean there’s zero downtime. Swelling, tenderness, and mild bruising are common side effects—especially in the first several days after the procedure. At Jeunesse Aesthetics, you’ll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions and support for a smooth recovery, ensuring that you’re comfortable and well-informed from start to finish.

Myth 5: All Providers Deliver the Same Results

The skill and experience of your injector play a critical role in safety, comfort, and satisfaction with your results. Jessica Cordova, founder of Jeunesse Aesthetics, has over 20 years in aesthetics and 13 years specializing in cosmetic injections. Many in the Denver area seek her out for her artistry and track record of natural, precise enhancements. Always choose an experienced, certified provider who understands both technique and facial anatomy for optimal outcomes.

Myth 6: The Procedure Is Painful and Risky

While there is some discomfort with fat dissolving injections, the process is far less daunting than many anticipate. Jeunesse Aesthetics uses advanced medical techniques and numbing options to ensure your comfort. When performed by a qualified aesthetician, complications are rare and risks are minimized. Detailed consultations allow the team to screen for any contraindications and answer all your questions before proceeding.
