Frequently Asked Questions
We use Kybella to target the area under your chin specifically. If you are interested in fat reduction in other areas of the body, we can help you explore other treatment options that may better suit your needs.
To best prepare for your treatment, we will discuss your medical history and goals during your initial consultation. Additionally, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning medications and supplements to avoid bruising.
The ideal candidate for Kybella is an adult with unwanted fat under their chin—specifically, those looking for a non-surgical way to remove it. The submental fat can be moderate to severe, and Kybella can even work for people who have historically struggled to remove it through diet and exercise.
How It Works
Kybella works to eliminate stubborn fat cells beneath the chin, often referred to as a double chin. It’s a minimally invasive solution that uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in fat digestion. When we inject the acid under your chin it breaks down fat cells and allows your body to naturally remove them.
Benefits of Kybella
Nonsurgical: Compared to other methods which require more invasive techniques, Kybella is an effective alternative.
Minimal Downtime: Most patients only experience minimal discomfort and can return to their daily activities once they’re comfortable enough. That being said, you may experience swelling and tenderness around your jaw and chin area, but this should resolve within a few weeks.
Permanent Results: Once we eliminate the unwanted fat cells under your chin, they cannot return. This is because they are permanently damaged, inhibiting the production of new fat cells under your chin.
