Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable to reduce submental fat, or a double chin. Rather than surgery or liposuction, this fast and easy procedure involves a series of injections into the fatty area.
The fat cells are impacted by the Kybella formula, then shed by the body over the following weeks for a slimmer, more attractive facial profile.
During your consultation in our San Diego MedSpa, a thorough examination of your medical history and any current medical conditions you may have will help to determine if you’re a candidate for this procedure. Once cleared, you will be given a series of Kybella injections to the affected area. Each treatment session may require up to 20 injections, depending on the amount of fat, and should only take around 20 minutes to complete.

Kybella is injected directly into the fatty areas under the chin and begins to work by destroying the fat cells located in that region. As the fat cells are destroyed, they are gone permanently, giving you long-lasting results. Since its approval by the FDA in 2015, Kybella has been instrumental in helping people reduce fat and achieving better tones and contours in their chin with an improved facial appearance.
Two to six treatment sessions may be needed to maximize results and thoroughly destroy all fat cells under the chin. These treatments will be spaced one month apart from each other to allow proper recovery of the affected area. In some cases, minor bruising or swelling in the area may occur, but these should be relatively short-lived and disappear within a couple days of the procedure. While the results may not be immediately noticeable, the treatment is working, and you will begin to enjoy long-lasting results shortly after your treatments.
For those who want a non-surgical solution to remove excess fat from under the chin, Kybella® is the perfect solution. There are many benefits to this treatment, which include:
