Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to target and reduce excess fat beneath the chin, also known as submental fat, which contributes to the appearance of a double chin. The active ingredient in Kybella, deoxycholic acid, naturally occurs in the body and works to break down and absorb fat cells. Once injected into the treatment area, Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a more defined, sculpted jawline and chin profile. Kybella offers a non-surgical alternative to liposuction for those seeking to eliminate stubborn fat without the need for downtime or incisions.

Who is a Good Candidate for Kybella?

Kybella is ideal for individuals who are looking to reduce moderate to severe submental fat and improve their chin and jawline contour. You may be a good candidate for Kybella if:

• You have excess fat beneath your chin that is resistant to diet and exercise.
• You are seeking a non-surgical option to improve the appearance of a double chin.
• You are in good overall health and have realistic expectations for the treatment.
• You are looking for a treatment that can target fat without the need for invasive surgery.
• You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Recommended Protocols and Aftercare

Protocols:

• Kybella is administered through a series of injections directly into the submental area (under the chin).
• The treatment typically takes 15–20 minutes to complete, depending on the amount of fat to be treated.
• Most patients require 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.
• The number of treatments needed depends on the individual’s fat volume and the desired aesthetic outcome.

Aftercare:

• You may experience mild swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days to a week.
• Avoid applying pressure to the treated area and refrain from massaging the area for at least 24 hours.
• You can resume normal activities immediately after the treatment, but it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise or excessive heat (e.g., saunas) for 48 hours.
• Ice packs or over-the-counter pain relievers can help alleviate any discomfort or swelling.
• Follow-up treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired results.

Kybella provides a safe and effective way to target submental fat and enhance your facial profile. With minimal downtime and long-lasting results, it’s an excellent non-surgical option for those looking to achieve a more youthful and defined appearance.
