Solution that is injected directly into the adipose (fat) tissue of the neck to destroy and dissolve fat cells.
The Kybella service is applied through injections of a deoxycholic acid solution in the submental area, that is, under the chin. This acid helps dissolve and eliminate localized fat cells that cause a double chin. During the treatment, which usually lasts between 15 to 30 minutes, the doctor performs a series of injections at specific points in the affected area. The procedure is minimally invasive and generally does not require anesthesia, although a numbing cream may be applied for added comfort.
The results of Kybella begin to be visible after 4 to 6 weeks after the first session, with a gradual reduction in submental fat. Optimal results are usually seen 2 to 4 months after treatment, with significant improvement in chin contour and a more defined appearance. You may need several sessions, typically between 2 to 6, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve the best results. The effects can last indefinitely, as the removed fat cells do not return, but maintenance may be necessary to maintain the desired contour.
Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin, dissolving a “double chin” without surgery. Made from a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid — a molecule your body naturally uses to break down fat — Kybella is a simple, in-office way to sharpen your jawline and profile.
Because the fat cells are permanently eliminated, results are long-lasting once your goal is reached.
Each session takes about 15–20 minutes. You may notice some swelling under the chin afterward — a normal sign the treatment is working. Most clients need two to four sessions spaced about a month apart, personalized to the amount of fullness being treated.
Our physician-supervised team tailors your Kybella plan to your anatomy and goals, so you get a naturally contoured, more defined profile from a trusted, medically led practice near Coral Gables.
Yes. Kybella destroys fat cells under the chin, and once destroyed they cannot store fat again, so results are long-lasting.
Most clients need two to four sessions spaced about a month apart, depending on the fullness being treated.
Expect some swelling, and occasionally bruising, under the chin for several days. Most people continue normal activities.
We numb the area first, and most clients tolerate the quick injections well.
