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!

Kybella Before and After

I have been seeing Kim Guthke as a PA for 15 years for all my medical and cosmetic dermatological needs. Kim Guthke is exceptionally knowledgeable, skilled, compassionate, and forthright. She is determined to get you and your skin the best possible result.

Kim has been our family dermatology PA for 10 yrs.  Skin and doctors, in general, are a sensitive topic for me due to some traumatic past experiences.  Once a year, I happily have a skin check with Kim to care for my 1950’s sunbaked skin.  After my first appointment with Kim, I knew I had found a skilled, trustworthy PA.  I feel at ease no matter what she is helping me with and trust her gentle guidance.  She is kind, calm, sensitive, enthusiastic, compassionate, honest and treats us as family.  Usually I work hard to relax at any doctor’s appointment but am calmed just by her presence.  Kim is loved and appreciated by all her patients.  I have referred many grateful friends who understand how precious it is to find a health practitioner who is skilled, listens and understands people.  Gratefully yours.

“Pauli Morrow is a gem of a human being and dermatologist. As an ex-sun worshiper, I really appreciate her thoroughness on skin checks and assistance around sun damage. Pauli is also a true artist with the needle. I walk out of her office knowing I’m going to be super fresh faced in a naturally enhanced way. I owe Pauli so much when it comes to keeping my skin healthy and looking amazing. I am very lucky to be in such amazing knowledgeable hands for the last 10 plus years. I feel beyond cared for – Pauli is simply the best!

“I have been a patient of Pauli Morrow’s for over 20 years. Words that come to mind when thinking of Pauli are talent, passion, skill, experience and trustworthy. Pauli loves her work and that shows in the way she treats her patients—with an exceptional curiosity, focus, and real interest in caring for others—and in the incredible results I see in my skin after every office visit. It may be slightly over-the-top, but even though I now live several states away, sometimes I still fly across the country for treatments with Pauli because I trust her so much and know her skills are worth the effort and will make a difference every time.”

“Pauli Morrow keeps me looking 10 years younger … oh yeah, and she saved my life. Literally. I’ve been a patient of Pauli Morrow for over 20 years. Cosmetic treatment was my primary goal and she is an ARTIST. She saw me for my general derm checks. She brilliantly zeroed in on a spot on my arm which turned out to be melanoma. Without her seeing this, I would never have had it looked at! I owe her my life. Plus I look fabulous while living it, all thanks to her!!!”
