Kybella

Target Unwanted Under-Chin Fullness
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for moderate to severe fat beneath the chin, also known as submental fullness. It targets unwanted fat cells to gradually create a slimmer, more defined lower facial profile without surgery.

Targeted Fat Reduction Without Surgery
Kybella contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule that helps break down dietary fat. When precisely injected beneath the chin, it destroys targeted fat cells, which the body then naturally clears over time.
Your provider evaluates the amount and distribution of submental fat before developing a customized injection plan. Multiple sessions may be recommended depending on your starting point and desired degree of improvement.
- Step 1: Meet with your provider to evaluate under-chin fullness and treatment suitability.
- Step 2: The treatment area is carefully examined and marked for precise injection placement.
- Step 3: Kybella is administered through a series of small injections beneath the chin.
- Step 4: The treatment begins disrupting targeted fat cells within the injection area.
- Step 5: Your body gradually clears the affected cells, revealing progressive contour improvement.

- Persistent submental fullness
- Reduced chin or jawline definition
- Fullness resistant to lifestyle changes
- Patients seeking nonsurgical fat reduction
Benefits and Outcomes
Kybella targets a specific source of unwanted under-chin fullness without surgery or liposuction. As treated fat cells are cleared, patients may achieve a slimmer profile and improved lower facial definition.
Specifically targets fat cells beneath the chin to reduce unwanted fullness and create a more streamlined appearance through a nonsurgical injectable treatment.
Reducing excess fullness beneath the chin can enhance the visible transition between the chin, jawline, and neck for improved overall definition.
Provides an injectable alternative for appropriate patients who want to address under-chin fat without incisions, liposuction, or a surgical procedure.
Once targeted fat cells are destroyed and cleared from the body, they can no longer store or accumulate fat in the same way.
Injection placement and the number of sessions are personalized according to your anatomy, amount of submental fullness, and desired contour improvement.
Changes emerge gradually as the body clears treated fat cells, allowing your lower facial profile to become progressively more refined over time.
Post-Treatment Care Tips
Swelling beneath the chin is common after Kybella and may be noticeable temporarily. Results develop progressively as the body clears the targeted fat cells.
Use cold compresses if recommended by your provider to help manage temporary discomfort or swelling.
Follow your individualized instructions for caring for the treatment area after injections.
Allow sufficient time for swelling to resolve before assessing your developing results.
Avoid rubbing or applying unnecessary pressure to treated areas unless specifically instructed.
Avoid strenuous exercise immediately afterward for the timeframe recommended by your provider.
Avoid scheduling important events immediately afterward if visible swelling would be a concern.
Any Questions?
Kybella is FDA-approved to improve the appearance of moderate to severe submental fullness, commonly referred to as a double chin, in adults.
The number varies by patient. Treatment may involve multiple sessions based on the amount of submental fat present and your desired degree of improvement.
Kybella permanently destroys the fat cells it successfully treats. Maintaining a stable weight can help support the appearance of your results over time.
Results appear gradually as your body processes the targeted fat cells. The timeframe varies depending on your response and number of treatment sessions.
Swelling is common and can be significant following treatment. Bruising, tenderness, redness, numbness, or firmness may also occur temporarily.
Not quite! Under-chin fullness can have several causes, including fat and skin laxity. An evaluation helps determine whether Kybella is appropriate for your anatomy.
