Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for adults that targets submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. This non-surgical procedure is a safe and effective way to reduce the appearance of excess fat under the chin, resulting in a more contoured and defined jawline.

The active ingredient in Kybella is 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 works to destroy fat cells, leading to a noticeable reduction in fullness over time.

Patients typically require multiple treatments spaced about a month apart to achieve optimal results. The number of treatments needed will vary depending on the individual’s specific anatomy and desired outcome. Most patients experience visible improvement after 2-4 treatments, with results lasting long-term.

Kybella injections are generally well-tolerated, with minimal downtime and side effects. Some common side effects may include swelling, bruising, numbness, or redness at the injection site, which typically resolve on their own within a few days.

As with any medical procedure, it is important to consult with a qualified healthcare provider to determine if Kybella is the right treatment option for you. A thorough evaluation and discussion of your goals and expectations will help ensure a successful outcome.
