How Does Kybella® Work?

Kybella® contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down fat. When injected into the submental area, Kybella® targets and destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body's metabolic processes. Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return, making the results long-lasting.

Benefits of Kybella® Injections

Kybella® offers multiple advantages for individuals seeking a non-invasive alternative to surgical fat reduction:

• Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive – Eliminates excess fat under the chin without liposuction or surgery.

• Customized Treatment Plans – Tailored to individual needs for the best possible results.

• Minimal Downtime – Most patients can resume daily activities immediately after treatment.

• Permanent Fat Reduction – Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not regenerate.

• Gradual, Natural-Looking Results – The improvement develops over several weeks, providing subtle, natural contouring.

Is Kybella® Right for You?

Ideal candidates for Kybella® treatment include individuals who:

• Have moderate to severe submental fat (double chin) and want a non-surgical reduction.

• Desire a more contoured chin profile without undergoing invasive procedures.

• Have good skin elasticity, allowing the skin to retract smoothly after fat loss.

• Understand the gradual nature of the treatment and are willing to commit to multiple sessions for optimal results.

• Are in good overall health with no contraindications that could interfere with the treatment.

What to Expect During Kybella® Treatment

A Kybella® treatment session typically follows these steps:

1. Consultation & Assessment

   • A thorough evaluation is conducted to determine if Kybella® is right for you.

   • Your provider will discuss goals, expectations, and the number of sessions recommended.

2. Treatment Plan Customization

   • A personalized injection plan is created based on your facial structure and amount of submental fat.

3. Procedure & Injection Process

   • The treatment area is cleaned and numbed for comfort.

   • Using a fine needle, Kybella® is precisely injected into targeted areas beneath the chin.

   • The number of injections varies based on the individual treatment plan.

4. Post-Treatment Care & Recovery

   • Mild swelling, redness, or tenderness is common and temporary.

   • Ice packs and over-the-counter pain relievers can help with minor discomfort.

   • Most patients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

5. Follow-Up & Additional Sessions

   • Multiple sessions (typically 2-4 treatments spaced one month apart) may be needed for the best results.

   • Your provider will monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan if needed.
