What is Kybella?

Kybella FAQs
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that targets and reduces submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that breaks down and absorbs fat cells.
How does Kybella work?
Kybella works by injecting deoxycholic acid directly into the fat beneath the chin. This acid destroys fat cells, which are then naturally processed and eliminated by the body. Once the cells are destroyed, they cannot store fat, resulting in a more contoured jawline.
What areas can Kybella treat?
Kybella is primarily designed to reduce fat under the chin (submental fat). However, in some cases, it may be used off-label to treat small pockets of fat in other areas, such as the bra bulge or jowls.
Who is a good candidate for Kybella?
Ideal candidates for Kybella are adults with moderate to severe submental fat who want a non-surgical solution for a more defined chin and jawline. It’s important to have good skin elasticity for the best results.
How many Kybella treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies depending on the amount of fat and your aesthetic goals. Most patients require 2-4 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Some may need up to 6 treatments for optimal results.
What can I expect during a Kybella treatment?
During the procedure, a series of small injections are administered under the chin. The session typically takes 15-20 minutes. You may experience mild discomfort, swelling, or redness, which subsides within a few days.
How long do Kybella results last?
Kybella provides permanent results as the treated fat cells are destroyed and cannot store fat again. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent the development of fat in untreated areas.
Are there any side effects of Kybella?
Common side effects include swelling, bruising, numbness, redness, and hardness around the injection site. These effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days to weeks. Rarely, patients may experience nerve injury leading to a temporary smile asymmetry.
How does Kybella compare to other double chin treatments?
Unlike surgical procedures such as liposuction, Kybella is a non-invasive option that requires no downtime. While CoolSculpting can also target fat in the chin, Kybella specifically destroys fat cells for a more permanent solution.
