What Is Kybella? The Non-Surgical Way to Eliminate a Double Chin

A defined chin and jawline can enhance your overall appearance and boost your confidence. However, for many people, excess fat beneath the chin creates the appearance of a double chin, regardless of age or weight. If you are looking for a noninvasive solution to refine your profile, Kybella® may be the answer. Available at The Center of Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, Kybella is an innovative injectable treatment designed to target and permanently reduce fat under the chin, offering results without surgery or extended recovery time.
 

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is an injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, preventing them from storing or accumulating fat in the future.
 

How Does Kybella Work?

The treatment process is simple and typically takes 15 to 20 minutes per session. Using a fine needle, your provider will strategically inject Kybella into the targeted areas beneath the chin. Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions spaced a month apart, though the exact number will depend on the amount of fat and your desired results.
 

What Results Can You Expect?

After your Kybella treatment series, you’ll start to see a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Results typically become visible within 4 to 6 weeks after the final treatment. The best part? Once fat cells are destroyed, they’re gone for good - no retreatment is expected unless significant weight is gained.
 

Since Kybella is non-surgical, there’s minimal downtime. You may experience some swelling, bruising, or numbness under the chin, but these effects are temporary and subside within a few days. Most patients resume normal activities within 24-48 hours.
 

Is Kybella Right for You?

Kybella is ideal for adults who:
 

• Are bothered by fat under the chin (submental fullness)
• Prefer a non-surgical alternative to liposuction or neck lift
• Are in generally good health with realistic expectations

A consultation with our experienced team will help determine if Kybella is the right fit for your aesthetic goals.
