Kybella is an injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid, a synthetic version of a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down and absorbs fat. When injected into chin fat, it targets and destroys fat cells, naturally allowing the body to eliminate them over time. Once those cells are gone, they're gone for good, meaning no yo-yo results and no surgery. FDA-approved specifically to treat submental fullness, Kybella is a minimally invasive way to refine your profile with little to no downtime.
Whether your double chin is genetic or the result of weight fluctuations, Kybella gives you a chance to achieve a sleeker, more contoured jawline without incisions. Why patients love Kybella:
Currently, Kybella is only FDA-approved for the treatment of submental fat (double chin). While research continues, it's not recommended for use in other areas of the body.
Good candidates for Kybella are adults over 18 who are bothered by extra fat beneath the chin and want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction. Suitable patients are close to their goal weight and have firm skin tone for optimal results. You may not be a candidate if you:
Your personalized, private consultation at The Aesthetic Center will allow us to examine your chin and neck area, review your medical history, and determine if Kybella is right for you. We'll also create a customized treatment plan, outlining the number of sessions you may require. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or vitamin E, for about a week before treatment. Also, skip alcohol for at least 24 hours and come to your appointment with clean skin.
Kybella injections are quick and simple. We apply a numbing agent to the area to keep you comfortable, then make a series of small injections beneath the chin. The whole process usually takes 20–30 minutes. Most patients need two to four sessions (one every month or so), though some may need up to six for ideal results.
You may experience swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated area after your session. This is completely normal and usually subsides in a few days. Some people notice a "fuller" look immediately after treatment due to swelling, but this fades as the deoxycholic acid begins to take effect. You'll want to sleep with your head elevated and avoid strenuous activity for 24–48 hours. Use cold compresses for any residual swelling. Most patients begin to see results in less than six weeks after the initial session, with final results appearing after the full treatment course.
At The Aesthetic Center in Darien, CT, cosmetic treatments are personal, empowering, and tailored just for you. Our board-certified surgeons and experienced injectors take pride in delivering results that look refreshed and natural.
