KYBELLA®

Reducing Your Double Chin
Without Surgery

Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable from the makers of Botox. It is used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin, also known as a “double chin.” Patients love Kybella® because it is minimally invasive and has a short recovery time.

How Does Kybella® Work?

Kybella® contains deoxycholic acid. This acid is naturally produced by your body to help absorb fat. Kybella® injections use a synthetic form of this acid as an injection. When the acid is injected, it destroys fat cells beneath the chin area to prevent fat from being stored in this area.

During this procedure, our team will first administer a topical numbing agent to alleviate pain and discomfort. We will then make small, precise injections into the desired area. The deoxycholic acid then works gradually to kill fat cells, which the body metabolizes over the following weeks. Patients typically must undergo two or more of these injection sessions to achieve desired results.

Benefits Of Kybella® Treatment

The main active ingredient is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, a compound naturally found in the body that breaks down dietary fat.

A safe, effective procedure that targets the desired areas without harming healthy tissues

Unlike liposuction or neck lift surgery, no incisions are required for Kybella® treatment.

Most patients see visible results after receiving a series of treatments.

Because treatment destroys the fat cells and they are flushed out, they are gone for good, and you can expect your results to last a lifetime.

By removing excess fat, the transition from the chin to the neck is smoother and more aesthetically pleasing

What to Expect for Kybella® Recovery

Kybella® treatment takes about 20 minutes, during which a member of our team will administer roughly 50 injections. Following your Kybella® treatment, you may experience some swelling, but you should be able to continue with your regular activities. The swelling usually goes away after a few days to a few weeks.

Directly after receiving a Kybella® injection, you can expect:

  • Bruising

  • Swelling

  • Inflammation

  • Pain

  • Redness

  • Temporary numbness at the site of injection

Other side effects include:

  • Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)

  • Skin ulceration
