For patients concerned about fullness beneath the chin, often referred to as a double chin, Kybella® offers an FDA-approved, non-surgical solution with clinically supported results. Submental fullness can be influenced by a variety of factors, including genetics, weight fluctuations, and the natural aging process, and it affects both men and women. Many individuals report feeling self-conscious about this area, making it one of the most common aesthetic concerns. Kybella® is administered through a series of small injections containing deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally produced by the body to help break down and absorb fat. Once injected, Kybella® targets and permanently eliminates fat cells in the treatment area, preventing them from storing fat in the future. As the body processes these destroyed cells, the chin and jawline appear more contoured and defined. Most patients achieve their desired results in six treatments or fewer.

Kybella® may be a good option for adults that are 18 years old and above who are concerned about persistent fat beneath the chin that does not respond to diet or exercise. This treatment is ideal for individuals seeking a non-surgical approach to permanently reduce fullness in the area without undergoing an invasive procedure.

After receiving Kybella®, some patients may notice temporary effects such as swelling, tenderness, numbness, redness, mild discomfort, or bruising in the treated area. Swelling is often most noticeable within the first few days following treatment and gradually decreases over the next several days or weeks. Sensations like tenderness or numbness may linger for a short time but typically resolve on their own. All reported side effects are temporary and are not considered long-lasting.
