Kybella
What is Kybella®?
Sculpt a Sleeker Jawline with KYBELLA®
Do you struggle with stubborn fat beneath your chin, commonly referred to as a “double chin,” but want to avoid surgery? KYBELLA® offers a powerful, non-surgical alternative. It is the first and only FDA-approved injectable designed to target and reduce moderate to severe submental fat—helping you achieve a more contoured, youthful jawline without incisions, downtime, or anesthesia.
KYBELLA’s active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected directly into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells in a controlled, permanent way. Once these cells are eliminated, they can no longer store or accumulate fat—meaning the results are long-lasting, provided you maintain a stable weight.
Who Is KYBELLA® Ideal For?
People who:
Are bothered by fullness under the chin
Prefer a non-surgical solution
Want a more refined facial profile
Are close to their ideal weight but have localized fat under the chin
KYBELLA® is typically performed as a series of injections spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, depending on your individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. Most patients see visible improvement in just 2–4 sessions, with little to no downtime beyond minor swelling or bruising.
What to expect from Kybella®?
For best results, KYBELLA treatments are typically repeated in a series of multiple sessions. The amount of sessions needed will vary from patient to patient, and depend on your aesthetic goals. Together at your consultation, we will determine how many treatments you need to achieve your goal. Once the desired aesthetic response is achieved, re-treatment is not expected!
What to expect during your treatment?
The procedure itself takes about 15-30 minutes. A template is applied to the skin as a guide, and up to 2 vials of KYBELLA are administered via multiple injections. Some discomfort is to be expected, but we utilize pain reduction techniques such as topical numbing cream and mixing the Kybella with local anesthetic to ensure a more comfortable experience. After your procedure, you may experience swelling in the treated area. While we recommend that you avoid certain activities for the first few days after your procedure, there is no downtime.
