Kybella has emerged as a revolutionary non-surgical injectable treatment specifically designed to target submental fullness, commonly known as a “double chin” and can be used on other areas of unwanted fat. Many people are affected by a double chin, even if they are in a healthy weight range. By eliminating wanted fat, patients can achieve a more defined profile and feel more confident.

What is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that uses synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected below the chin, Kybella effectively destroys submental fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in the appearance of a double chin.

Kybella Candidates

Ideal candidates for Kybella are individuals who want to eliminate excess fat beneath the chin without undergoing surgery. Candidates should be in good overall health, with realistic expectations about the outcomes of the treatment. Kybella is not recommended for individuals with infections in the treatment area or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

The Kybella Treatment

Kybella treatment only requires a few injections and no anesthetic, but a topical numbing cream can be applied if desired. Most patients do not find this treatment to be overly uncomfortable without it. During the treatment session, multiple small injections of Kybella are administered directly into the unwanted fat cells beneath the chin. The number of injections and sessions required may vary based on the individual’s specific anatomy and treatment goals.

Kybella Recovery & Results

Following Kybella treatments, patients may experience mild swelling and bruising around the injection sites but this will subside within a few days. We recommend that you apply ice packs and avoid strenuous activity for one day to limit swelling. Results will gradually develop over the following weeks as the body naturally metabolizes the destroyed fat cells. Patients can expect a more defined jawline and improved facial profile, enhancing their overall facial aesthetics.

The results of Kybella are considered permanent, as new fat cannot grow back. However, the remaining fat cells can grow with weight gain, so it is important to maintain a healthy diet and exercise routine after treatment.
