Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to lessen submental fullness, often called a “double chin.” It contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule that occurs in the body naturally and aids in breaking down and absorbing dietary fat.
How does Kybella® work?
Once injected under the chin, Kybella® permanently destroys fat cells. After being eliminated, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat again, resulting in a more contoured jawline.
What areas can Kybella® treat?
Kybella® is primarily FDA-approved for moderate to severe fat beneath the chin. Off-label, it may also be used in smaller areas, such as the bra bulge, jowls, or along the jawline, depending on the provider’s assessment.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients need 2–4 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. The number of treatments depends on your anatomy, goals, and how your body responds to the treatment.
Is Kybella® permanent?
Yes. Once fat cells are destroyed, they are gone for good. Maintaining results, however, depends on maintaining a stable weight and adopting a healthy lifestyle.
What should I expect during the treatment?
This procedure consists of a series of small injections under the chin and typically lasts 15–20 minutes. Patients may feel mild burning or stinging temporarily, which is normal.
What’s the downtime like?
Swelling is the most common side effect and may last 3–7 days or longer. Bruising, tenderness, and temporary numbness are also possible. Many patients prefer to schedule treatments before a weekend or days off.
Who is a good candidate for Kybella®?
Kybella® is best for those with unwanted chin fullness and good skin elasticity. Patients with significant laxity or larger fat deposits may be better suited for alternative treatments, such as liposuction or skin tightening procedures.
Are there any risks?
Like all injectables, Kybella® carries risks such as swelling, bruising, or temporary numbness. Rare but serious complications include nerve injury or difficulty swallowing, which is why choosing an experienced injector is essential.
How do I get started?
The process begins with a personalized consultation to assess your chin profile and determine if Kybella® is the right option for you.
