KYBELLA
HOW DOES KYBELLA WORK?
The main active ingredient in this treatment is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that is associated with the absorption of fat in the body.
Deoxycholic acid essentially melts fat off the body and disrupts the collecting of fat deposits. By injecting this substance directly into unwanted fat beneath the chin, we are able to eliminate the fat on a molecular level and prevent that fat from returning for a long time.
KYBELLA
Kybella is an injectable treatment that can permanently destroy fat cells, reducing the appearance of a “double chin.” The main active ingredient in deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance associated with fat absorption in the body, is used in this treatment. A deoxycholic acid solution melts fat and prevents it from accumulating on the body. We are able to eliminate unwanted fat beneath the chin on a molecular level by injecting this substance directly into the fat. Typically, 2-4 treatments are recommended for best results. Submental swelling and redness are common after Kybella for up to 1-2 weeks.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS KYBELLA AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
Kybella is a non-surgical injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid to break down and dissolve fat cells in the chin and jawline area. The procedure works by targeting and destroying fat cells, resulting in a reduction of fullness and a more defined jawline and chin.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR KYBELLA?
Kybella is a good option for those who have moderate to severe fat in the chin and jawline area and are looking for a non-surgical option to improve the appearance of this area. It is also a good option for those who have not had success with traditional weight loss methods or are not candidates for surgery.
HOW MANY KYBELLA TREATMENTS ARE NEEDED FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS?
The number of treatments needed can vary depending on the individual and the amount of fat in the treatment area. Typically, 2-4 treatments are recommended, spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME AFTER A KYBELLA TREATMENT?
There is minimal downtime after a Kybella treatment. Patients may experience swelling, redness, and tenderness in the treatment area, but these side effects typically resolve within a few days.
CAN KYBELLA BE USED IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
Kybella can be used in combination with other non-surgical treatments, such as dermal fillers, to enhance the overall results and provide a more defined jawline and chin. It is recommended to consult with a licensed healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
Most patients require a few rounds of Kybella treatment to achieve the desired appearance. We generally recommend patients have at least two or three treatment appointments, spaced about 4 weeks apart.
We may recommend additional treatment appointments if we determine you require additional injections to reach your aesthetic goals.
WHAT CAUSES DOUBLE CHIN?
Double chin is often caused by a genetic predisposition to store fat in the body, which is why it is frustrating that no amount of exercising or dieting can eliminate this fat.
Many patients notice that they have family members with double chins. Double chin can happen to anyone, including those at an ideal healthy weight for their body mass.
CAN KYBELLA BE USED ON STOMACH?
While this treatment was originally developed to eliminate a double chin, it can’t be used to address fat on the stomach. The deoxycholic acid in this injectable treatment works on fat in the chin area. If you are interested in using a treatment to eliminate body fat, please let us know at your consultation.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Many patients first notice results from this treatment after 12 to 8 weeks, or after at least two treatment sessions. Results show up more quickly depending on how well your body responds to the deoxycholic acid in the injection.
Some patients may see results much more quickly than other patients. We will help you determine how many treatments you need to see your desired results.
WHO ARE IDEAL CANDIDATES?
This treatment is a suitable alternative to surgical procedures to remove unwanted fat from the chin. Ideal candidates for this treatment include anyone who is not satisfied by the shape of their profile or the appearance of their jawline.
You may be an ideal candidate if you have:
- Mild to moderate fullness beneath the chin
- Minimal skin laxity on the upper neck
- Good skin health and skin condition
It is important to note that this treatment is intended to melt fat from the body and is not appropriate for patients who have skin laxity on the neck. For patients with skin laxity, we may recommend other treatments, such as neck lift or other skin tightening treatments.
