Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable that destroys fat cells. Kybella is made from synthetic deoxycholic acid which is a naturally occurring molecule found in the body that breaks down fat.

Treatment with Kybella is quick and easy. When injected, Kybella immediately starts destroying the cells that store fat, resulting in noticeable swelling in the injected area. The body’s natural healing process begins and within 4-6 weeks you see a noticeable reduction of fat.
Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store fat.

Kybella chin treatments require a series of injections individually tailored to your unique chin profile. The amount of treatments vary from patient to patient and is dependent on both the initial fullness beneath your chin and your aesthetic goals.

For most patients, a series of  2-4 treatments are needed to achieve the desired results. These sessions should be spread out with roughly a month between each treatment. You will likely experience swelling for 3-5 days after treatment, although most people find that the reaction becomes less severe and happens less often with subsequent treatment sessions. When scheduling your treatment, consider planned social or work commitments
