Kybella is an injectable treatment that eliminates fat under the chin, also called a “double chin.” It uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella breaks down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. This treatment targets the submental area, helping to create a more defined jawline and improving the overall contour of the neck and chin.
Kybella is recommended for adults who have moderate to severe chin fat. Results are typically seen after two to four treatment sessions, spaced about a month apart. The effects of Kybella are long-lasting because treated fat cells are permanently eliminated and cannot store or accumulate fat again.

FAQS
Kybella is ideal for individuals bothered by excess fat under their chin, often called a double chin. Good candidates are generally healthy, want to improve their appearance by reducing their double chin, and prefer a non-surgical option. It’s also suitable for those who eat well and exercise but cannot get rid of their double chin.
Results from Kybella treatments can typically be seen after two to four sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. Full results may take several weeks as the body gradually eliminates the treated fat cells.
The results from Kybella are long-lasting because the procedure permanently destroys fat cells under the chin. The eliminated cells do not regenerate, so fat is permanently reduced, and a healthy lifestyle is maintained.
Kybella treatments usually involve minimal downtime. Some of the most common side effects are bruising, swelling, pain, numbness, redness, and hardness around the treatment area, which typically resolve within a few days to weeks.
Before your Kybella treatment, avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications to reduce the risk of bruising. After the treatment, place ice packs on the treated area to reduce swelling, avoid physical activities for 24 hours, and follow any additional care instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
During a Kybella treatment, a healthcare professional will administer multiple small injections under your chin. The treatment normally takes 15 to 20 minutes. You may experience a warm or stinging sensation during the injections, and some swelling and bruising can be expected afterward. Your provider will monitor your progress and schedule follow-up treatments to achieve optimal results.
