What Is Kybella®?

Kybella® contains deoxycholic acid, a substance that helps break down dietary fat in the body. When injected into selected fat beneath the chin, it destroys fat cells, which the body gradually clears.

Treatment focuses on under-chin fat rather than loose skin. Your provider will assess what is contributing to your fullness and explain the improvement you can realistically expect.

Benefits of Kybella® for Under-Chin Fullness

Targeted Fat Reduction

Kybella® treats selected fat beneath the chin, helping reduce fullness and improve the contour of the area.

A Non-Surgical Approach

Treatment is performed through injections without surgical incisions. Local comfort measures may be used during your appointment.

Gradual Contour Improvement

Changes develop as the body clears treated fat cells. A series allows your provider to assess your response before recommending further treatment.

Lasting Effects on Treated Fat Cells

Destroyed fat cells no longer store fat. However, weight changes, remaining fat cells, and skin aging can still affect your appearance over time.

Is Kybella® Right for You?

Assessing the Cause of Your Double Chin

Under-chin fullness can involve fat, loose skin, muscle anatomy, or a combination of factors. Kybella® targets fat and does not correct every cause of fullness.

Your provider will assess the area before recommending treatment.

Skin Firmness Matters

If you have significant loose skin, reducing fat alone may not produce your desired contour. We will discuss whether another approach better fits your goals.

Approved Treatment Area

Kybella® is FDA-approved for fat beneath the chin in adults. It is not approved for other body areas, and this treatment page focuses specifically on submental fullness.

Your Health History

Tell your provider about previous chin or neck procedures, difficulty swallowing, current medications, and any infection or irritation in the treatment area.

What to Expect During Kybella® Treatment

Your appointment begins with an assessment and marking of the treatment area. Your provider then places a series of small injections into selected fat beneath the chin.

The injection portion typically takes approximately 15–30 minutes, depending on your plan. Allow additional time for consultation and preparation.

Treatment Sensation

Stinging, burning, or tenderness can occur during and after injections. Your provider will discuss comfort measures and explain what to expect.

Your Treatment Series

The number of sessions depends on your anatomy and response. Your provider may recommend several treatments, spaced at least one month apart, with reassessment before each appointment.

Recovery and Your Results

Plan for Visible Swelling

Swelling is expected and can be noticeable, particularly after an initial treatment. Bruising, tenderness, numbness, and firmness may also occur.

Kybella® should not be planned as a treatment with no visible recovery.

Scheduling Around Events

Allow sufficient time before important events, photos, or travel. Recovery varies, and swelling or firmness may persist beyond two weeks.

Follow Your Aftercare Instructions

Your provider will explain how to care for the area and when to resume activities. Attend recommended follow-ups so we can assess healing and progress.

Contact our team promptly if you develop an uneven smile, difficulty swallowing, skin breakdown, or other unexpected symptoms.

Gradual Improvement

Results develop over the weeks following treatment. Your final contour depends on the amount of fat treated, your skin’s response, and the number of sessions completed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kybella® fat reduction permanent?

Kybella® destroys selected fat cells beneath the chin, and those cells no longer store fat. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge with weight gain, and aging or skin laxity can affect your contour. Your provider will explain what lasting improvement may look like for you.

How much swelling should I expect after Kybella®?

Visible swelling is common and can be substantial, particularly after the first session. Tenderness, bruising, numbness, and firmness may also occur. Recovery varies, so discuss upcoming events with your provider before scheduling.

Can Kybella® tighten loose skin beneath the chin?

Kybella® targets fat rather than treating loose skin. If skin laxity is a significant part of your concern, reducing fat alone may not achieve your goals. Your consultation will help determine whether Kybella® or another approach is more appropriate.
