KYBELLA®

Even with a healthy diet and regular exercise, many people struggle with stubborn fat beneath the chin. Often called a "double chin," this excess fullness can make you look older, heavier or less defined than you feel. Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to permanently destroy fat cells beneath the chin without surgery.

If you're looking for a non-surgical solution to improve your profile and enhance your jawline definition, Kybella may be the treatment you've been searching for.

What is Kybella?

Kybella is an injectable treatment that uses synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected beneath the chin, Kybella targets and destroys unwanted fat cells, resulting in a slimmer, more sculpted appearance.

Once treated fat cells are eliminated, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, making Kybella a long-lasting solution for reducing submental fullness.

What causes a double chin? 

A double chin can develop for several reasons, including: 

• Genetics 
• Aging 
• Weight gain 
• Loss of skin elasticity 
• Natural facial anatomy 

Even individuals who maintain a healthy weight can experience excess fat beneath the chin. Kybella is specifically designed to address this common cosmetic concern. 

Benefits of Kybella 

Kybella offers a number of advantages for patients seeking facial contouring without surgery.  

Benefits include: 

• Permanent destruction of treated fat cells 
• Non-surgical double chin reduction 
• Improved jawline definition 
• Enhanced facial profile 
• Minimal downtime 
• Quick in-office treatment 
• No incisions or scars 
• Customized treatment plans 
• Natural-looking results 

How does Kybella work?

Kybella works by targeting and destroying fat cells beneath the chin. Once injected into the treatment area, the active ingredient breaks down the cell membrane of fat cells, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them over time.

As the body processes the destroyed fat cells, patients begin to notice a gradual reduction in fullness beneath the chin and improved facial contours.

Who is a good candidate for Kybella?

You may be a candidate for Kybella if you:

• Are you bothered by a double chin
• Have moderate submental fat beneath the chin
• Want to avoid liposuction or surgery
• Desire a more defined jawline
• Are in good overall health
• Have realistic expectations about treatment outcomes 

A consultation with an experienced aesthetic provider can help determine whether Kybella is the right treatment for your goals.

What to expect during treatment

Kybella treatments are performed in-office and typically take 15 to 30 minutes.

During your appointment:

• Your provider will evaluate your chin and jawline.
• A customized treatment plan will be created.
• Small injections are strategically placed beneath the chin.

You can return home immediately after treatment.

Most patients require a series of treatments to achieve optimal results, depending on the amount of submental fat present.

Recovery after Kybella

Following treatment, it is normal to experience temporary:

• Swelling
• Redness
• Bruising
• Tenderness
• Mild numbness

Swelling is often the most noticeable side effect and can last several days to a few weeks as the body begins breaking down treated fat cells.

Most patients can return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment.

How many Kybella treatments will I need?

Every patient is different. Many individuals achieve their desired results with two to four treatment sessions, while others may benefit from additional treatments.

Your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your anatomy, goals and response to treatment.

When will I see results?

Results develop gradually as your body naturally eliminates destroyed fat cells. Most patients begin noticing improvement within several weeks, with continued refinement over the following months.

The result is a slimmer, more contoured profile and enhanced jawline definition that looks natural and balanced.
