What is KYBELLA®

KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable designed to permanently reduce submental fullness—commonly known as a double chin.

Its active ingredient, synthetic deoxycholic acid, mimics a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down dietary fat. When injected beneath the chin, KYBELLA® targets and destroys fat cells. Once eliminated, these cells can no longer store fat, making results long-lasting after reaching your desired contour.

How Our Process Works

Consultation

We’ll examine the area under and around your chin to determine if KYBELLA® is right for you. We’ll tailor your treatment specifically to the amount of fat under the chin area to meet your aesthetic goals.

Kindly inform us if:

  • Have had or plan to have surgery and/or cosmetic treatments on your face, neck, or chin

  • Have had or have medical conditions in or near the neck area

  • Have had or have trouble swallowing, bleeding problems

  • Are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed

  • Are taking any medications, especially blood thinners.

Treatment

During your treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin, and the injection process takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat you have under your chin and your desired profile. Each KYBELLA® treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you may receive up to 6 treatments.

Recovery

After your treatment, you will likely have some swelling, bruising, or numbness under your chin.
