Define Your Jawline. Sculpt Your Profile.
Submental fullness—commonly known as a "double chin"—is a common aesthetic concern that can be resistant to diet and exercise. KYBELLA® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to target and permanently destroy fat cells beneath the chin, restoring a sleeker, more youthful contour to your neck and jawline.
If you are bothered by the appearance of fat under your chin and want a non-surgical, long-lasting solution, Kybella offers predictable and powerful results.
What is KYBELLA® and How Does It Work?
The Science of Permanent Fat Reduction
KYBELLA®'s active ingredient is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.
-
Targeted Injection: Kybella is strategically injected into the subcutaneous fat beneath the chin (submental fat).
-
Fat Cell Destruction (Lysis): The deoxycholic acid instantly goes to work, destroying the cell membrane of the fat cells (adipocytes) in the treatment area.
-
Natural Elimination: Once destroyed, the fat cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. The body's natural metabolic processes (the lymphatic and circulatory systems) safely absorb and eliminate the destroyed fat cells over the following weeks.
-
The Result: A noticeable, progressive reduction in fullness and a permanent improvement in the chin profile.
Key Benefit: Because the fat cells are physically destroyed, the results are permanent. Once your aesthetic goal is achieved, further treatment is typically not needed, provided you maintain a stable weight.
The Treatment Area and Ideal Candidates
KYBELLA® is specifically approved to treat moderate to severe fat under the chin.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
-
Individuals who are bothered by submental fullness (double chin).
-
Individuals who have mild to moderate "pinchable" fat beneath the chin.
-
Patients who prefer a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
-
Those with good skin elasticity. Kybella addresses fat, but significant loose or sagging skin (laxity) may require additional or alternative treatments like surgical lifting.
-
-
Why Choose This Treatment?
-
Non-Surgical: No incisions, no anesthesia, and minimal downtime.
-
Permanent Results: Fat cells are destroyed and cannot return.
-
Quick Sessions: Each treatment typically takes only 15–20 minutes.
-
Improved Profile: Enhances the neck-to-chin transition, making the profile look younger and more defined.
Your KYBELLA® Treatment Journey
The process involves multiple sessions to gradually and safely reduce the fat volume.
We assess your submental fat volume and skin elasticity to create a customized treatment plan, including the projected number of sessions and the dosage needed.
Treatments are spaced a minimum of 4 to 6 weeks apart to allow your body time to metabolize the destroyed fat cells and for swelling to resolve.
Post Treatment/ Aftercare: Swelling is a normal and expected part of the process, indicating the deoxycholic acid is actively destroying fat cells. It is often most noticeable after the first session and usually subsides within 1–2 weeks.
The most common side effects are temporary and localized:
-
Swelling: Can be significant, especially after the first treatment. Using cold compresses and sleeping with your head elevated helps.
-
Bruising and Tenderness: Common at the injection site, usually resolving within a week.
