Fat Reduction
Kybella
No surgery. No scars. Just a sharper jawline. Kybella permanently destroys fat under the chin for a defined, confident profile.
What Can Kybella Treat?
Define. Refine. Own Your Profile.
Kybella targets stubborn submental fat — the pocket of fat beneath the chin that diet and exercise often can't fix. It permanently destroys fat cells for a slimmer, more defined jawline.
- Double chin (submental fullness)
- Submental fat below the jawline
- Profile definition concerns
- Fat that persists despite diet and exercise
- Undefined jawline and neck contour
"Your best profile shouldn't require a filter."
Benefits
Why Kybella?
- Non-surgical fat destruction
- Permanent results in treated areas
- No incisions, no stitches, no scars
- Improves jawline definition
- Quick in-office injections
"Permanent fat loss — no surgery required."
How It Works
The Science
Kybella contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body naturally produces to absorb fat. When injected, it destroys the membranes of fat cells in the treated area. Your body then naturally clears the released fat over the following weeks.
Targeted Destruction
Fat cells are permanently destroyed and processed by your body's lymphatic system. Once gone, they can never return.
"Your body absorbs the fat. Your confidence absorbs the rest."

Aftercare
Do This
- Apply ice packs to reduce swelling
- Sleep with your head elevated for the first few nights
- Gentle neck massage as directed by your provider
- Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet
- Attend all follow-up appointments
Avoid This
- Strenuous exercise for 48 hours
- Touching or rubbing the treatment area
- Alcohol for 24 hours after treatment
- Excessive salt intake (can worsen swelling)
- Applying heat to the treated area
Important Considerations
- • Not recommended if you have an active infection in the treatment area
- • Inform your provider if you have difficulty swallowing or have had prior neck or chin surgery
- • There is a risk of nerve injury that can cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness — this is usually temporary
- • Not suitable for patients with known allergy to deoxycholic acid
- • Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding
- • Significant swelling is normal and expected — discuss expectations during your consultation
Results
You will notice gradual improvement as the swelling resolves and fat is cleared. Most patients see visible results within 4–6 weeks. Full results typically appear after 2–4 sessions. Results are permanent — destroyed fat cells do not return.
"No more hiding your profile — let your jawline speak."
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.
How does Kybella work?
When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cell membranes. Once destroyed, those cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. The body's natural processes clear the fat away over the following weeks.
Is Kybella permanent?
Yes. Kybella permanently destroys fat cells in the treated area. Once those cells are gone, they cannot come back. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your results.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients need 2–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the amount of fat and your desired profile definition.
Does it hurt?
You will feel a burning or stinging sensation during the injections. Ice and numbing are used to manage discomfort. The procedure takes about 15–20 minutes.
Is there downtime?
There is minimal downtime, but you can expect swelling, bruising, and numbness under the chin for several days to a week. Most patients return to work within a day or two.
Am I a good candidate for Kybella?
Good candidates have moderate to severe submental fullness, are in good health, and have realistic expectations. A consultation will determine if Kybella is right for you.
Can Kybella be used on other body parts?
Kybella is FDA-approved only for submental fat (under the chin). It is not approved for use on other areas of the body.
How much does Kybella cost?
Cost depends on the number of sessions needed. You will receive clear pricing during your consultation. View pricing here.
Are there side effects?
Common side effects include:
- Swelling under the chin
- Bruising
- Numbness or tingling
- Redness at injection sites
- Mild pain or hardness in the area
These are temporary and most resolve within 1–2 weeks. Swelling is the most common and expected side effect.
