FAQs about Kybella

What is Kybella and what is it used for?

Kybella® is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injectable treatment used to permanently reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. It is made from deoxycholic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in the body and helps break down and absorb dietary fat.

When Kybella is injected into targeted areas, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. Once these fat cells are gone, they cannot return, making Kybella a long-term solution for unwanted fullness under the chin. In some cases, it may also be used off-label in small areas of stubborn fat, depending on provider expertise.

How Does Kybella Work and when will I see results?

The secret ingredient in Kybella injections is Deoxycholic acid. Naturally found in the body, deoxycholic acid helps break down and absorb dietary fat. Kybella uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid to absorb fat and acts as a cytolytic agent, disrupting the cell membranes of fat cells (adipocytes). When injected into the fat beneath your chin, Kybella destroys stubborn fat cells. The body’s immune system then clears away the destroyed fat cells, which are naturally processed and eliminated through the lymphatic system. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store fat, making the results permanent and preventing future fat accumulation in the treated area. Your body then processes these cells naturally, leaving your skin with a more contoured look as a result. The best part? Once those fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good.

Kybella results develop gradually over several weeks as the body processes and removes destroyed fat cells. Most patients see visible Kybella results within 4 to 6 weeks after treatment, with final results typically appearing 1 to 3 months after the last session. Results can also be seen within 6 to 8 weeks, and multiple treatments may be necessary for optimal, long-lasting results if weight is maintained.

What Does Kybella Treat and are there any side effects associated with Kybella?

Kybella is primarily used to treat submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. The injection provides an option for those looking to refine their profile without undergoing plastic surgery. For patients interested in a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan, Kybella can be combined with Restylane to restore volume and smooth fine lines.

Common side effects occur at the injection site and include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, and redness. These are typically temporary and subside within a few days to weeks. Rare side effects, such as nerve injury in the jaw, uneven smile, and trouble swallowing or difficulty swallowing, can occur but are uncommon and usually resolve on their own. Kybella is not recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions, including bleeding problems, difficulty swallowing, or an infection in the treatment area. Our team will review potential side effects and your medical conditions during your consultation.

Am I a Good Candidate for Kybella and how many Kybella Treatments Will I Need to See Results?

Non-surgical fat reduction: No scalpels, no stitches, no downtime like with traditional cosmetic surgery. Kybella is an in-office treatment performed by medical professionals, offering a safe and convenient option for reducing submental fullness.

Minimal discomfort: The procedure involves minimal discomfort during and after treatment, with most patients experiencing only temporary side effects that resolve quickly.

Skin tightening and tissue tightening: Some patients notice added benefits such as skin tightening or tissue tightening in the treated area, leading to a firmer, more contoured, and youthful appearance of the chin and neck.

Permanent results: Unlike a dermal filler, Kybella injections offer a long-term solution. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they don’t come back.

Minimal downtime: Resume your daily activities almost immediately. You might experience some swelling or bruising, but it’s nothing compared to the recovery time of invasive plastic surgery procedures.

Most patients require 2-4 treatments for optimal results. The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat under the chin and the desired level of contouring, with sessions spaced about a month apart.

What are the Benefits of Kybella?

Kybella is fantastic, but it’s not for everyone. Ideal candidates are adults with mild to moderate submental fullness. If you’re tired of seeing that double chin in the mirror and you’re looking for a non-surgical option, Kybella might just be your new best friend. However, a consultation is crucial to determine if this injectable treatment aligns with your goals and health profile. During this initial visit, your medical history will be reviewed to ensure you are a suitable candidate and to provide pre-treatment instructions.

More than one treatment is usually needed to achieve optimal results. Most patients require at least two to six treatments, and how many treatments you need depends on the amount of fat under the chin and your desired level of contouring. Kybella treatments are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Swelling and bruising may occur after each session and can take a few weeks to resolve before visible results appear.
