KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile. No incisions are necessary and Kybella is a great way to get rid of unwanted fat under your chin area!
What is Kybella?
Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile. The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
What is the treatment like?
It is about a 30 min procedure in the office where a Kybella is injected. The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat you have under your chin and your desired profile. For the best outcome you will need anywhere from 1 to 6 treatments, done 4-6 weeks apart.
Is there downtime?
Bruising and numbness in the area is possible for a week or so. You will experience swelling and tenderness for a couple of weeks under your chin following the treatment.
If you are a good candidate, Kybella is a great way to get rid of unwanted fat under your chin area!
