Eliminate Stubborn Chin Fat

KYBELLA is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that targets and reduces submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. Its active ingredient, synthetic deoxycholic acid, breaks down fat cells beneath the chin, allowing your body to naturally metabolize and eliminate them over time. Once these treated fat cells are removed, they cannot store or accumulate fat again. KYBELLA offers a non-surgical solution for creating a more defined, contoured jawline.

KYBELLA Treats:

  • Submental fullness (double chin)
  • Stubborn fat beneath the chin
  • Excess fullness that softens jawline definition
  • Poor lower facial contour caused by localized fat
  • Genetically inherited under-chin fullness
  • Age-related accumulation of submental fat
  • Mild to moderate fullness affecting the facial profile

The Science Behind KYBELLA

KYBELLA contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule produced by your body to help digest dietary fat. When injected into targeted areas beneath the chin, it disrupts the membranes of fat cells, causing them to break down through adipocytolysis. Your body’s lymphatic system then gradually clears the cellular debris over several weeks, revealing a slimmer, more defined jawline. Once destroyed, these fat cells cannot store fat again.

Advantages of KYBELLA:

  • Non-surgical treatment with no incisions
  • Reduces stubborn submental fat beneath the chin
  • Creates a more defined jawline and facial profile
  • Permanently destroys treated fat cells
  • Customized treatment plans based on your goals
  • Minimal downtime for most patients
  • Gradual, natural-looking improvement
  • No general anesthesia required
  • Can reduce the need for surgical chin liposuction

Your Complete KYBELLA Experience

Treatment

Your treatment begins with a personalized consultation to evaluate your chin profile and determine the ideal injection pattern. The treatment area is cleansed and carefully marked to ensure precise placement. A series of small injections is then administered beneath your chin using a fine needle. The session typically takes 15 to 30 minutes and involves no downtime.

Recovery

You can expect temporary swelling, tenderness, redness, bruising, numbness, or firmness beneath the chin. Swelling is a normal part of the fat-cell breakdown process and may be most noticeable during the first several days. Most side effects improve over the following weeks. Your provider will give you clear aftercare instructions to support a comfortable recovery.

Results

KYBELLA produces gradual improvements as your body naturally clears the destroyed fat cells over 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients need a series of 2 to 4 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, with the exact number based on the amount of submental fullness. Because treated fat cells are permanently eliminated, the results can be long-lasting when you maintain a stable weight.

No. Because KYBELLA is administered through a series of tiny injections, it does not require surgical incisions. The injection sites are small and typically heal without noticeable scarring, making it ideal for patients seeking chin contouring without surgery.

The fat cells destroyed during KYBELLA treatment cannot regenerate or store fat again. However, significant weight gain may cause the remaining fat cells in the area to enlarge. Maintaining a stable weight through healthy lifestyle habits can help preserve your results.
