Kybella is an injectable treatment that reduces extra fat under the chin, often called a double chin. It uses a safe, natural substance to break down and permanently destroy fat cells so your body can naturally remove them. Many people choose Kybella because it offers a nonsurgical way to get a more defined jawline and a slimmer profile without liposuction or surgery. Results build over time and last long term as long as your weight stays stable. The treatment is FDA approved and performed in a medical office by trained providers.
Kybella contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a substance your body already makes to help digest fats. When injected into the fat under the chin, it breaks apart the walls of the fat cells. The destroyed cells are then cleared away by your body's natural processes. Once those fat cells are gone, they do not return. Your provider carefully plans the injection sites to create a smoother, more sculpted neck and jaw area.
Here is what to expect from start to finish, so there are no surprises on the day.
01
You meet with a qualified provider who examines the area under your chin, reviews your medical history, and discusses your goals. They will determine if Kybella is right for you and how many sessions you may need.
02
The skin is cleaned and a numbing cream or local anesthetic is applied to keep you comfortable.
03
The provider marks a grid of small dots under your chin and injects Kybella into the fat layer. The session usually takes 15 to 30 minutes.
04
Most people need two to six treatments spaced about one month apart for the best results.
