What is Kybella?
Stubborn double chin fat can be frustrating, especially when diet and exercise don’t seem to make a difference. Kybella changes that by targeting submental fat with deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body naturally produces to break down dietary fat. This FDA-approved treatment destroys fat cells in the targeted area permanently.
Here’s what makes Kybella different: instead of temporarily masking the problem, it permanently eliminates fat cells. Your body’s lymphatic system naturally clears away the destroyed cells over several weeks, revealing a more contoured jawline and defined profile.
Results develop gradually, with most patients noticing improvement 4-6 weeks after each session.
Kybella works best for:
- Double chin elimination – targeting that stubborn pocket of fat under your chin
- Jawline enhancement – creating better definition and contour
- Profile improvement – achieving a more sculpted appearance from the side
- Permanent solution – results that last because fat cells don’t regenerate
If you’ve been considering more invasive options like liposuction, Kybella offers a non-surgical alternative that fits into your regular schedule with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common Concerns
You'll feel stinging and burning during the injections, which can be intense but is brief. Most patients tolerate the discomfort well without numbing, knowing the treatment only takes 15-20 minutes. The post-treatment swelling can also cause some tenderness for several days.
Yes! Once Kybella destroys fat cells, they cannot regenerate. However, significant weight gain could affect your results, as remaining fat cells can still enlarge. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your new contour.
Ideal candidates have moderate to severe submental fat (double chin) with good skin elasticity. If you have excessive loose skin or very mild fat, other treatments might be more appropriate. Joy will assess your skin quality and fat distribution during consultation to determine if Kybella is right for you.
For the first 24-48 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications to minimize swelling and bruising. You can apply ice packs to help with comfort, but avoid massaging the treated area.
Kybella offers a non-surgical alternative with no incisions, anesthesia, or significant downtime. While liposuction provides more dramatic results in a single session, Kybella allows you to gradually achieve your goals with minimal disruption to your routine.
