FDA-approved and in wide use since 2015, Kybella® is the only cosmetic injectable treatment that specifically targets submental fat (excess skin under the chin) and eliminates it. Because a double chin rarely responds to diet and exercise, before Kybella the only way to correct a double chin was to undergo liposuction. The fact that this condition can now be improved non-surgically with convenient injections has made Kybella extremely popular.
During recovery, you may experience bruising, burning, or numbness. A note on swelling: your chin area will take anywhere from a couple of days to two weeks to subside in the swelling. During this time, you may feel as though your under-chin area looks even bigger, but this is part of the process, and you should not be alarmed.
Once the swelling has stopped, you will see your beautifully contoured new neck and profile, and the destroyed fat cells will not return.
The majority of patients see results after 2 to 3 Kybella sessions. During your consultation, we can give you a more specific amount of treatments you’ll need after we examine you, as the number of treatments you’ll need will be determined by how much fat is being removed. Unlike dermal fillers and Botox, with Kybella there is no need for maintenance treatments.
