Kybella® is the first FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to permanently eliminate fat cells under the chin. At Blume Skin and Body, our expert providers utilize Kybella to sculpt and contour the jawline, enabling patients to achieve a refined, confident profile with minimal downtime and lasting results.
If you want to eliminate excess fat that is contributing to the appearance of a double chin without the need for surgery and a long recovery, Kybella® is the perfect option! This unique FDA-approved injectable is designed to break down stubborn neck fat with only a few quick treatments. Kybella® is a unique type of injectable made from deoxycholic acid, a chemical that targets fat cells before breaking them down and destroying them. This acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body so there is no risk of an allergic reaction. Kybella® injections can dramatically improve the appearance of a double chin (submental fat) or sagging jowls without the need for double chin surgery or a neck lift procedure.
Kybella works by utilizing deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the submental fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys the fat cells, preventing them from storing or accumulating fat in the future.
The body then eliminates the double chin naturally in a process that carries away these destroyed fat cells, resulting in a more contoured and slimmer chin profile. Multiple treatment sessions may be required to achieve optimal results, depending on the individual’s needs.
A candidate for Kybella is typically an adult who is bothered by moderate to severe submental fat, commonly known as double chins and desires a non-surgical double chin removal with fat-dissolving injections. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have realistic expectations about the treatment outcomes, and are not allergic to any of the ingredients in Kybella. Additionally, individuals should not have an infection in the treatment area and should be committed to following the post-treatment care instructions provided by their healthcare provider.
Kybella® treatment takes less than 45 minutes; the injections themselves only take 15 minutes. First, the treatment area is outlined so that the injections can be placed into specific points for a smooth, proportionate finish. A topical local anesthetic is applied to alleviate discomfort before your provider uses a fine gauge needle to inject Kybella® into various points around the neck and under the chin. The dead fat cells are naturally carried away by the body effectively getting rid of a double chin appearance.
Mild swelling and redness are common immediately after treatment, but this will reduce within 3-7 days. Over time, your jawline will appear more defined and vertical necklines will be smoother. For optimal results, most patients require two Kybella® treatments scheduled a couple of months apart.
Further treatment can also be used for patients with more severe fat buildup. Kybella is not designed to help patients lose weight but to address excess fat. Kybella can not reduce excess skin or sagging skin in the neck area. For severe sagging skin, neck lift procedures may be more suitable.
After each treatment, there is no downtime or recovery. Itchiness, redness, and swelling around the injection site are common but should resolve within 48 hours. Results will gradually develop 4-6 weeks after the Kybella procedure as the deoxycholic acid injection works to dissolve fat under the chin.
