ABOUT SUBMENTAL FULLNESS
Do you have some extra fullness beneath your chin? Maybe it's something you've had your whole life, something that developed over the years, or something you noticed recently. This is a condition called submental fullness, which some people refer to as “double chin."
WHAT IS KYBELLA?
-
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
-
Treatment can only be administered by a KYBELLA®-trained healthcare specialist. At each treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin, and the injection process takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The exact number of injections will depend on the amount of fat you have under your chin and your desired profile.
-
Since everyone's chin profile is different, the number of treatments varies from patient to patient. Your healthcare specialist will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Each KYBELLA® treatment session is given at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than 6 treatments. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments.
-
KYBELLA® can cause serious side effects, including
Nerve injury in the jaw (which can cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness)
Trouble swallowing
Injection site problems including: bruising, hair loss, open sores (ulcers), damage and tissue cell-death (necrosis) around the injection site. Call your healthcare provider if you develop open sores or drainage from the treatment area.
FAQs

Kybella® injections are generally well-tolerated by most individuals. While discomfort levels can vary, many clients report only mild to moderate sensations during the procedure. To ensure your comfort, a topical anesthetic or ice may be applied before the injections. If you have concerns about pain or discomfort, our practitioners will work closely with you to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
-
One of the advantages of Kybella® is that it typically involves minimal downtime. While you may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising in the treated area, these effects are temporary and generally resolve within a few days. Most clients can resume their normal daily activities immediately after the treatment.
-
Kybella® provides long-lasting results. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they cannot return. However, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent new fat from accumulating in the treated area. With proper care, the results of Kybella can be permanent.
-
Before your Kybella® appointment, it's essential to inform your medical provider about any medications, supplements, or medical conditions you have. Our practitioners will provide you with specific instructions, but generally, it's recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol before the treatment to minimize the risk of bruising. Additionally, it's important to have realistic expectations and discuss your desired outcome during your consultation.
