Kybella is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to permanently reduce submental fat—commonly known as a double chin. Using a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, Kybella breaks down and absorbs fat cells in the treated area, resulting in a more contoured and defined jawline.
This FDA-approved treatment offers a minimally invasive alternative to liposuction, with no need for incisions, anesthesia, or downtime.
Kybella’s active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.
When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s metabolic processes. Once the fat cells are removed, they cannot regenerate—making the results long-lasting with proper weight maintenance.
Kybella is specifically approved for treating submental fat, but in some cases, it may be used off-label in small areas like:
Consultation with an experienced provider is essential to determine if you're a candidate for treatment outside the chin area.
You may be a good candidate for Kybella if you:
Kybella is not recommended for individuals with loose or sagging skin, as it targets fat—not skin tightening.
Your provider will mark the treatment area and may apply a numbing agent or ice pack for comfort.
Kybella is injected into multiple points beneath the chin using a fine needle. The session typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, and you can resume most normal activities afterward.
Multiple sessions—usually 2 to 4 treatments, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart—are typically needed for best results.
After the procedure, it’s common to experience swelling, bruising, numbness, or mild tenderness in the treated area. Swelling may be more pronounced after the first session and usually subsides within a week.
Avoid strenuous activity, alcohol, and excessive sun or heat exposure for the first 24–48 hours post-treatment.
Most patients begin to notice visible improvement after 2 to 3 sessions, with full results appearing around 8 to 12 weeks after the final treatment.
Once the fat cells are eliminated, they do not return—meaning the results are permanent, as long as a stable weight is maintained.
If you’re looking for a safe, non-surgical way to reduce submental fat and contour your jawline, Kybella fat dissolving injections offer long-term results with minimal downtime.
