Kybella – Non-surgical Treatment for Double Chin
It is estimated that 70% of people have submental fat, which is commonly called a double chin. Double chins can develop for many reasons – being overweight, from sagging skin due to the effects of aging, genetic factors, or even poor posture. Excess fat under the chin can make you look older, and heavier leaving you feeling self-conscious. And for many people, diet and exercise alone are not enough to reduce a double chin.
Previously, one of the only cosmetic treatments for a double chin was liposuction. Now, there’s a convenient office-based cosmetic treatment that can help you get rid of a double chin without surgery.

What is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved non-surgical cosmetic treatment that specifically targets fat collections under the chin. The treatment involves the injection of a substance called deoxycholic acid into the area under the chin.
What has made Kybella increasingly popular is that it is a minimally invasive injectable treatment. It does not require any cuts to be made in the skin. The treatment is performed in a medical office and takes less than half an hour to complete. There is minimal downtime after Kybella, and you can return to your normal routine soon afterward.
How does Kybella work?
Kybella contains a substance called deoxycholic acid. This is a naturally occurring substance in the human body that is present in bile acid to absorb fats from food.
A synthetic form of deoxycholic acid is injected during Kybella double chin treatments. The acid destroys fat cells, and the body gradually metabolizes and removes them from the chin area.

What should I expect during a Kybella treatment?
You should arrive for your Kybella appointment with a clean face free of any make-up. The procedure itself is pretty straightforward. We will mark the area of the chin with the injection sites. If needed, we can apply a topical anesthetic (numbing cream) or use an ice pack to reduce the discomfort associated with the injections.
Kybella injections are performed with a fine needle at specific locations in the chin area. The locations are decided based on your anatomy, goals, and expectations from the Kybella treatment.

How many Kybella treatments will I need?
The number of Kybella sessions required to get optimum results varies from person to person; however, most individuals need more than one treatment. We recommend waiting at least 6 weeks between Kybella treatments to make sure the body has cleared out most of the fat cells from the previous treatment
What kind of results will I get with Kybella?
Approximately 80% of patients obtain a significant improvement in the appearance of their double chin after Kybella treatments. Notably, once the fat under the chin is destroyed by the Kybella injections, it is gone forever and will not come back. Most patients, therefore, do not require any further treatment after completing the series of Kybella treatments. The results of your Kybella treatment are long-lasting. However, if you gain a significant amount of weight, the remaining fat cells can grow, and the appearance of a large double chin can reappear.
Are there any side effects from Kybella?
It is not unusual for patients to experience some minor discomfort, redness, swelling, and numbness in the treated area. These symptoms are usually temporary and self-resolving. The recovery time after Kybella is minimal. The exact downtime can vary from patient to patient, but most people return to routine activities quickly.
If you have a major event coming up, it is advisable to plan Kybella treatments well ahead of time to give yourself time to recover.
What are the risks of Kybella double chin treatment?
When performed by a licensed and experienced provider, adverse events after Kybella are rare. However, very rarely, complications such as nerve injury and facial muscle weakness can occur, leading to a crooked smile or problems with swallowing. Should you experience any of these symptoms after Kybella treatment, please get in touch with your provider immediately.

Am I a good Kybella candidate?
Kybella is an FDA-approved non-surgical solution for a double chin in adults over the age of 18. Your aesthetic provider will evaluate your chin area during your initial consultation and determine if you can benefit from Kybella and undergo the treatments safely.
Be sure to give our team your complete health history, medications, and allergies. If you have a history of bleeding problems or take medications such as blood thinners, let us know. Also, tell us about any prior surgical procedures in the chin or neck area.
You may not be deemed a suitable candidate for Kybella if you have an active infection of the chin. Also, women who are pregnant or nursing are advised to wait before getting cosmetic treatments like Kybella since the effects of these treatments on infants have not been studied.
Choosing a provider for Kybella
Kybella treatments involve injections into the face. If performed by an unqualified person, it can lead to serious complications. That’s why it’s important to choose a licensed medical provider and an experienced Kybella provider. This will ensure you get the best results from your double chin treatments and also reduce your risk of side effects and complications.
