What is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that dissolves submental fat (commonly known as a “double chin”). It contains deoxycholic acid, a molecule that helps break down and absorb fat cells.

Once destroyed, fat cells do not return, making this a long-lasting solution for unwanted fullness beneath the chin.

What are the indications for Kybella?

Kybella is used to treat:

Submental fullness
Mild to moderate double chin
Fat beneath the jawline in patients seeking non-surgical contouring

What should I know before I go?

Treatment is performed in a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. Swelling is expected and can be significant for several days following treatment.

Temporary numbness, firmness, or tenderness may occur. A consultation is essential to determine candidacy and rule out other causes of fullness such as skin laxity.
