Keep reading to learn how Kybella® works, how many treatments you may need, and what to expect during your double chin reduction journey.
Kybella® offers a non-surgical, targeted approach to reducing stubborn fat beneath the chin. Here are some of its top benefits:
- Permanent Fat Reduction: Once destroyed, fat cells are gone for good.
- Non-Invasive Double Chin Fat Removal: Kybella® provides a clinically proven way to remove fat under the chin without surgery or downtime.
- Improved Jawline Definition: Creates a slimmer, more contoured lower face.
- Minimal Downtime: Patients can resume normal activity within a few days.
- Boosted Confidence: Eliminating a double chin can dramatically enhance your profile and self-image.
Kybella® is made from the naturally occurring molecule deoxycholic acid, which dissolves and absorbs fat. Injecting Kybella® into the submental area destroys fat cells, permanently eliminating them from the body.
Here’s what happens during your appointment:
- Consultation: A provider will assess your chin profile and create a personalized treatment plan.
- Preparation: The area is marked and numbed for comfort.
- Injection: Kybella® is injected in a grid-like pattern under the chin.
- Post-Treatment: Mild swelling or tenderness is typical and expected. Over several weeks, your body will gradually process and eliminate the treated fat cells.
Kybella® is FDA-approved for treating submental fullness (double chin), but it may also be used off-label to address small, stubborn fat pockets in other areas, such as:
Under the Jawline
Targets stubborn fat below the jaw to enhance facial definition and create a more sculpted neck-to-chin transition.
Along the Jowls
It helps reduce fullness in the lower cheeks, softening the appearance of jowls for a tighter, lifted look.
Bra Bulges
Minimizes small fat pockets near the bra line, smoothing the upper torso for a cleaner silhouette.
Inner Knees
Treats isolated fat deposits around the inner knees, improving leg contours and symmetry.
Note: Always consult a qualified provider to determine if off-label treatment suits you.

KYBELLA Before and After
FAQ's
How does Kybella® work?
Synthetic deoxycholic acid is used in Kybella® to destroy fat cells beneath the chin. Once eliminated, these fat cells can’t return—meaning long-term results.
How many Kybella® treatments are needed?
Most people need 2-4 sessions about 4-6 weeks apart. The total number depends on your anatomy and the desired outcome.
What should I expect during the Kybella® treatment?
Treatment typically lasts 20-30 minutes. After numbing, a series of small injections are placed under the chin. Swelling and mild discomfort may follow, which is temporary and expected.
