Kybella is an injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce fat under the chin, often referred to as a "double chin." Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, helps to break down and absorb dietary fat cells in the targeted area. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they cannot store or accumulate fat again, leading to a more contoured profile over time with a series of treatments.

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a “double chin.” It is composed of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into the submental fat, Kybella disrupts the fat cell membranes, causing them to rupture. The body then naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells over time. This results in a reduction of the fat volume and a more defined jawline.
Good candidates for Kybella are individuals with moderate to severe submental fat, leading to a double chin appearance. It is important to have realistic expectations and be in good overall health before considering this treatment.
Kybella is administered through a series of injections directly into the submental fat area. The exact number of injections required depends on the individual’s specific needs and desired outcome. Treatment sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart.
Recovery after Kybella is relatively minimal. Patients may experience swelling, bruising, redness, or numbness in the treated area, but these side effects are temporary and generally resolve within a week or two. Most individuals can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment.
The number of Kybella sessions required varies depending on the individual’s needs and the amount of submental fat present. Typically, a series of two to six treatments is recommended, with each session spaced about four to six weeks apart.
Results from Kybella are not immediate. The body needs time to process and eliminate the destroyed fat cells. Most individuals start noticing improvement in the appearance of their chin and jawline within two to four weeks after the treatment, with optimal results becoming visible after a few months.
Kybella is generally considered safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional. However, potential risks and side effects can include swelling, bruising, numbness, pain, redness, and difficulty swallowing. Choosing an experienced provider and following post-treatment instructions can help minimize these risks.
