What Is Kybella?

Kybella is an injectable treatment that contains deoxycholic acid, a substance that dissolves dietary fat in the body. When injected under skin of the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. Kybella is the first and only FDA approved treatment of its kind for treating moderate to severe submental fat (fat under the chin). Our patients love having a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for treating double chins.

What Should I Expect from My Kybella Treatment?

We perform Kybella treatments in our offices. The treatment takes just a few minutes from start to finish, and you can go home immediately after treatment. Many patients even return to work immediately, but some may require a bit of downtime. Swelling, tenderness, and bruising are common side effects, but typically resolve quickly.

Most patients need multiple treatments to obtain the best results. We can give you a good idea of how many treatments to expect during your consultation. Most patients need 2-4 treatments spaced about a month apart.

How Long Do Kybella Results Last?

Because fat cells do not regenerate, Kybella results are expected to be lasting. Once you achieve your ideal results, the need for retreatment is not anticipated.

Should I Choose Kybella Over Traditional Neck and Chin Liposuction?

It depends on the amount of fat present and the quality of the skin. Before Kybella, liposuction under the chin was the preferred treatment option for patients with mild to moderate submental fat. Kybella is an excellent, non-surgical alternative to liposuction in patients who have excellent skin quality. If excess fat is significant, SAFELipo is still the gold standard. If excess fat and poor skin quality are present, a neck lift is the best option. Downtime with Kybella tends to be shorter, and no incisions are needed but multiple treatments are usually necessary. Ask us if Kybella, SAFELipo or a neck lift is the best option for you.
