How Kybella Works

Kybella consists of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring enzyme that dissolves fat cells permanently. Once injected, it sculpts and slims the jawline for a more youthful, contoured appearance. While submental liposuction remains the gold standard for immediately eliminating fullness beneath the chin through a minor surgical procedure, Kybella offers a minimally invasive, nonsurgical alternative for those who prefer to avoid surgery.

Who Is a Candidate for Kybella?

Ideal candidates for Kybella have localized fat under the chin but minimal loose neck skin, as the treatment targets fat cells and does not tighten skin. In addition to submental fullness, Kybella can be used off-label to treat small fat pockets in areas such as:

  • Bra rolls
  • Inner knees
  • Banana rolls (under the buttocks)
  • Flanks (love handles)
  • Upper back
  • Inner arms
  • Lower abdomen
  • Inner thighs

What to Expect From Treatment

Most patients require at least two treatments spaced one month apart, depending on the amount of fat being treated and their aesthetic goals.

Results appear as the fat is gradually eliminated over 6 to 8 weeks. Downtime is minimal, with common side effects like swelling resolving in 2 to 3 weeks.

Kybella produces permanent fat reduction and refined contours for a youthful, naturally sculpted appearance without surgery.
