The Top 3 Benefits of KYBELLA®

There’s nothing worse than seeing an image of your face, whether in a photo or on screen (FaceTime or Zoom), and seeing the extra fat below your chin. This flab can be embarrassing and can make you feel self-conscious and even embarrassed for other people to see you. Some people may even obsess over this physical imperfection and try to find the “best angle” for every photo and video of themselves. But that doesn’t have to be the case for you.

Instead of considering surgery, you can use KYBELLA® to destroy fat cells and get rid of your double chin!

Key Takeaways

– Kybella destroys fat cells in the submental (“double‑chin”) area so they cannot store fat again, providing a lasting contour improvement when weight is maintained.

– Visible changes begin in a few weeks, and full results may take months.

– Treatment plans vary, with 2‑4 sessions being typical, but up to 6 may be required.

What Is Kybella?

KYBELLA® is a non‑surgical injectable treatment approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the reduction of moderate to severe fat under the chin (submental fullness)

Its active ingredient is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule that naturally occurs in the body and helps break down dietary fat. By injecting KYBELLA® into the area beneath the chin, the fat cells are destroyed and then eliminated by your body over time.

How Does Kybella Work?

Here’s a breakdown of what a KYBELLA® treatment for a double chin typically involves:

– A consultation where the provider assesses the chin and neck area, evaluates fat volume, skin laxity, and determines if you’re a good candidate for treatment.

– On treatment day, the provider marks a grid beneath the chin (to map injection sites) and may apply a topical anesthetic or ice to minimize discomfort.

– Multiple small injections of KYBELLA® are administered into the fat beneath the chin. Each session generally takes about 15‑20 minutes.

– After injection, the deoxycholic acid in KYBELLA® disrupts the fat‑cell membranes, causing the fat cells to rupture and die.

– Over the following weeks, the body processes and removes the dead fat cells via the lymphatic system. As the treated fat diminishes, a more defined chin and jawline appear.

– Most patients require a series of treatments (often spaced about 4‑6 weeks apart) to reach their desired chin contour.

The 3 Benefits of Kybella for Non-Surgical Fat Removal

As a non-surgical, injectable treatment that eliminates double chins for good, Kybella is ideal for anyone who wants to gain more confidence in themselves and smile in any direction at any time without feeling self-conscious!

Besides giving you a boost in confidence, KYBELLA® has many other benefits, which you can review below:

1. Fat Is Permanently Removed

Once you have had your KYBELLA® injectable, the treated fat is permanently removed. The solution kills the fat cells, and your body is left to do the rest.

Your body naturally metabolizes the dead fat cells and gradually flushes them out of your body over time to reveal a slimmer, more contoured chin structure.

2. Uses an Acid Found Naturally in Your Body

The FDA-approved KYBELLA® injectable is made up of deoxycholic acid, which is a compound that is already in your body. This acid breaks down dietary fat, allowing your body to begin flushing the dead cells from the body. Over time, you will see an improvement in the contour of your chin as well as a more defined jawline.

Some patients may require additional KYBELLA® treatments to reach their desired goals; however, this will be something discussed during your consultation. If needed, additional sessions can be scheduled one month apart.

3. Safe and Gentle Alternative

KYBELLA® is safe, gentle, and is the perfect alternative to a surgical procedure, like liposuction. Some men and women may not have as much excess fat under their chins, or maybe they just aren’t ready for surgery.

Either way, KYBELLA® can help remove the unwanted fat from under the chin in a safe, gentle, and effective way that doesn’t harm any of the surrounding skin or other tissues.

How Soon Will I See Results From Kybella?

Most patients begin to see visible changes about four to six weeks after their first KYBELLA treatment.

Since the treatment works by breaking down fat cells and letting your body process them naturally, the timeline depends on how quickly your system clears the treated area. In many cases, your jawline will appear more defined in eight to twelve weeks, especially if you’ve had more than one session.

How Many Treatments of Kybella Are Needed for Best Results?

The number of KYBELLA sessions required varies based on how much fat is present, how defined a result you’re seeking, and your individual response.

Many providers report that patients with moderate submental fullness achieve good results with 2 to 4 sessions, spaced about 4‑8 weeks apart. However, for heavier or more stubborn fat under the chin, up to 5‑6 treatments may be needed.

Is Kybella Safe?

Yes, KYBELLA is FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by a qualified medical professional for its approved use (under the chin).

How Long Does the Kybella Procedure Take?

Typically, the procedure takes around 45 minutes.

How Long Do Kybella Results Last?

Kybella treatments last forever, as they eliminate submental fat! However, for the best results, you’ll want to maintain good skin care and avoid gaining weight.
