Kybella® Non-surgical treatment to melt away your double chin

What is the Kybella®?

Kybella® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile. Since everyone has a unique profile, the number of treatments will be tailored specifically for you. Multiple injections are administered during each treatment and up to 6 treatments are spaced at least 1 month apart.

How Does Kybella® Work?

The active ingredient in Kybella® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat and occurs naturally in the body. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.

What is the Process?

Treatment can only be administered by a Kybella®-trained healthcare specialist. During each 15-20 minute treatment, you will receive multiple small injections under your chin. Dr. Samuels will determine the appropriate number of injections to achieve your desired profile. In clinical studies, 59% of patients received 6 treatments.

What can I Expect After the Treatment?

After your treatment, you will likely have some swelling, bruising, or numbness under your chin. Be sure to inform Dr. Samuels if you develop an uneven smile, facial muscle weakness, or difficulty swallowing.
