Kybella® Double Chin Treatment

Double chin is common in men and women and is caused by aging, genetics and less often, weight gain. It detracts from an otherwise balanced and harmonious facial appearance, leading to an older, heavier look. Kybella® is the only minimally invasive treatment available to treat a double chin.

What Is Kybella?

Kybella® is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.” It is not known if Kybella® is safe and effective for use outside of the sub-mental area. Kybella® disrupts the fat cell causing it to destroy the fat cell membrane. The body then metabolizes the fatty contents via the normal metabolic pathways. The fat disappears permanently.

What to Expect During and After Your Kybella Treatment

The area under the chin will first be cleaned. A pen will be used to mark the injection areas beneath the chin and along the jawline. The injections themselves can produce some mild discomfort. A local anesthetic is used to help make the injection process as comfortable as possible.

Some soreness around the injection sites is to be expected. Swelling and bruising are also common and should begin to subside after a around three days but can remain for a few weeks.
