What is Kybella?
Kybella (deoxycholic acid) is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing submental fullness — the fat beneath your chin commonly called a "double chin." Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella permanently destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable slimming of the chin profile. Once destroyed, those fat cells can no longer store fat.
How Kybella Works
Your provider maps out a precise injection grid beneath your chin and administers multiple small injections of deoxycholic acid into the submental fat pad. The solution destroys fat cell membranes on contact. Over the following weeks, your body naturally metabolizes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells. Most patients need 2-4 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Each session takes about 20-30 minutes.

Treatment Areas
Am I a Good Candidate?
Kybella is ideal for patients with moderate to significant submental fullness (double chin) who want a non-surgical solution. It works best for patients with good skin elasticity. Patients with very loose skin may be better candidates for surgical options. Kybella is not appropriate for fat in other body areas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kybella
How many Kybella sessions do I need?
Most patients need 2-4 treatment sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Some patients see satisfactory results after 2 sessions, while others with more submental fat may need up to 6 sessions. Your provider will assess your anatomy and set expectations during your consultation.
Does Kybella hurt?
Kybella injections cause a burning or stinging sensation during treatment, and significant swelling for 3-7 days afterward (sometimes called 'bullfrog chin'). This is normal and expected — it means the product is working. We provide ice packs and can prescribe medication to manage discomfort.
Are Kybella results permanent?
Yes — once Kybella destroys fat cells, they cannot regenerate or store fat again. However, significant weight gain can cause remaining fat cells in the area to enlarge. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results.
What is the downtime for Kybella?
Expect significant swelling beneath the chin for 3-7 days after each session. Some patients also experience bruising, numbness, or firmness that can last 2-4 weeks. Most patients plan treatments when they can work from home for a few days.
