KYBELLA™ is a naturally occurring molecule in the body, deoxycholic acid, that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into subcutaneous fat, KYBELLA™ causes the destruction of fat cells. Once fat cells are destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

Do you have some extra fullness beneath your chin? Maybe it’s something you’ve had your whole life, something that developed over the years, or something you noticed recently. This is a condition called submental fullness, which some people refer to as “double chin.”
KYBELLA® is a non-human and non-animal formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into subcutaneous fat, KYBELLA® causes lysis of adipocytes, the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

We will design a treatment plan tailored to help you improve your chin profile. During your treatment sessions, she will administer KYBELLA® into the fat under your chin using multiple injections. Many patients experience visible results in 2 to 4 treatment sessions. Up to 6 treatment sessions may be administered spaced no less than one month apart.
Strict clinical trials have resulted in the FDA-approved Kybella, a safe and effective way to remove stubborn submental fat – no surgery or incisions required. It’s the only FDA-approved injectable double-chin-reduction method on the market today.

What happens during a KYBELLA™ treatment?
KYBELLA™ is a 30 to 45 minute in-office treatment. The submental area is cleaned and prepped. The treatment area is anesthetized with ice which will make the KYBELLA™ injections very tolerable. KYBELLA™ is injected into 10 to 20 sites and then over time KYBELLA™ will work to destroy the fat cells. The amount of injections and number of treatments will be determined by each individual’s amount of submental fullness. Typically, 2 to 6 treatments will be necessary for best results.
When will I see results?
It takes a minimum of two treatments to see any results. Treatments are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Most patients will notice results within 3 months of their third or fourth treatment, although up to six treatments may be necessary. It is possible that you will not see improvement despite multiple treatments due to your underlying anatomy or other factors.
How long does the correction with KYBELLA™ last?
The results are long-lasting, as fat is destroyed and does not reappear. Re-treatment is not expected.
What are the possible side effects of treatment?
Immediately after your KYBELLA™ treatment you will experience mild swelling and redness, and possible bruising. The most common side effect is swelling, and although the swelling will be most dramatic during the first 3 days after the procedure, it will gradually subside in a few days to a few weeks. Other potential side effects that were reported during FDA trials were discomfort or tenderness to the area, numbness, and tingling. These side effects lasted only a few days to a few weeks and most were mild. None of the side effects were long lasting.
