Kybella® is a non-surgical injectable treatment that reduces submental fat, often called a double chin. The active ingredient in Kybella® is deoxycholic acid, which naturally exists in the body and assists in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When administered into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella® eliminates fat cells, which are gradually eliminated by the body’s natural processes. This treatment explicitly targets fat in the submental area but can also be used to address excess fat in other areas.
Kybella® is ideal for individuals who are concerned about the presence of a double chin and prefer a non-invasive approach to fat reduction. The treatment is suitable for adults suffering from moderate to severe levels of submental fat and are seeking a contouring solution without resorting to surgery. Typically, patients see noticeable improvements within 4 to 6 weeks following their initial treatment. Optimal results often require multiple sessions customized to the individual’s needs. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not return, leading to long-lasting results. For those interested in addressing submental fat and enhancing their chin profile, Kybella® offers a viable solution without surgery.

Kybella® targets and eliminates fat cells located beneath the chin. By breaking down these fat cells, it effectively reduces the appearance of a double chin, resulting in a smoother and more defined chin contour.

Kybella® is an injectable treatment for reducing submental fat or double chin. The product contains deoxycholic acid, which breaks down fatty deposits under the chin. The removed fat cells are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body.
The number of treatments recommended varies based on the amount of fat and the expected outcome. Most patients should have 2 to 4 sessions, at least one month apart, to get the best results.
During the Kybella® treatment, patients might feel discomfort as the injections are administered. While pain levels can vary from person to person, the sensation is typically described as manageable. To enhance comfort, local anesthetics are often used to numb the treatment area.
Common side effects of Kybella® include redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection sites. These effects are normal responses to the injections and generally subside within a few days to a few weeks.
Results from Kybella® are generally long-lasting. Once the treatment breaks down the fat cells, they do not regenerate. This permanent elimination of fat cells contributes to a more defined chin contour. To help maintain the results, keeping a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced eating plan and exercise, is vital.
Most patients begin to notice changes in the appearance of their double chin within 4 to 6 weeks after their initial Kybella® treatment. The process involves the gradual breakdown and absorption of fat cells, so improvements develop over time.
