Kybella

Kybella is a prescription medicine that is injected into the fat under the chin (also known as submental fat) to improve its appearance and profile. It is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in this area. Kybella contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected under the chin, it destroys fat cells and prevents them from storing or accumulating fat again. This results in a more contoured and sculpted jawline. It is a non-surgical alternative to procedures such as liposuction or neck lift surgery.

Treatment process

Kybella treatment involves multiple small injections under your chin. The injection process takes about 15 to 30 minutes. The number of injections and sessions will vary depending on your individual needs. You may need up to 6 sessions spaced at least one month apart. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments.

What to expect after the treatment

Your doctor will provide instructions on how to care for your skin. Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area, and avoid strenuous activity for a few days. You may experience some swelling or bruising, which should subside within a week.

Kybella is a non-surgical option for reducing double chin that can provide lasting results with minimal downtime. However, it is not a weight loss solution and it does not treat excess skin or sagging under the chin. You should always maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight.
