Kybella® for Double Chin Reduction
Kybella® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that can improve the appearance of a double chin. It dissolves the fat pocket between your chin and neck through deoxycholic acid, which helps absorb fat.After Kybella® treatments destroy fat cells and remove any fullness under the chin, the profile’s appearance vastly improves.
What Causes a Double Chin?
Fat deposits under the chin (submental fat or double chin) can result from aging, genetics, or weight gain. Kybella® is an excellent treatment option for men and women of all ages who are bothered by this condition.

Am I a Good Candidate for Kybella®?
Ideal candidates for Kybella® are adults with unwanted chin fat seeking a non-surgical double chin reduction option. With good skin elasticity and overall health, Kybella® injections may be effective for you.
Your Kybella® Treatment
Kybella® is injected directly into the area of concern, and the injections take only 15 to 20 minutes. The active ingredient in Kybella®, deoxycholic acid, works to break down and absorb fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by your body.
Patients will experience a stinging and burning sensation during injection, which can be controlled by applying a cold compress to numb the skin.
What to Expect After Kybella® Treatments?
After treatment, patients can resume their day. Expect swelling, redness, warmth, and possible bruising, which may last one to two weeks. Wearing scarves or turtlenecks can help during this period.
Results gradually appear over several weeks as your body processes and removes the fat cells. Most patients see results after two to four Kybella® sessions, with fat cells being eliminated in four to six weeks.
How Often Should You Get Kybella®?
Treatments are spaced a month apart, and the number of treatments required varies from one to four for the average patient, depending upon the amount of fat that needs to be dissolved. Unlike many other injectables, Kybella® treatments do not need to be repeated once you have reached your desired goal.
After fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer grow in that particular area, so your results are considered permanent.
