The appearance of a double chin can cause self-consciousness for many men and women. Whether genetically predetermined or brought on by age or weight gain, many people wish they could do something about the unwanted fat under the chin without needing surgery.
KYBELLA is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that dissolves unwanted fat cells that cause submental fullness, commonly known as the double chin. Now you can skip the liposuction and treat fat below the chin on your own time.

Good Candidates for KYBELLA
Many men and women seek KYBELLA when they are not happy with the extra fullness under their chin, which creates the double chin look and an unflattering profile. When you want to address unwanted fat under the chin without surgery, KYBELLA could be right for you.
KYBELLA is an excellent option for those who have mild to moderate submental fullness and good skin laxity. Also, if you have a small amount of excess fat you want to address, KYBELLA can give you the subtle improvement in appearance that you are looking for.
While the majority of people wanting KYBELLA are a good fit, there are some things you should consider before receiving treatment. Be upfront about your health history, current medication you are taking and discuss previous facial surgery. Many of these items could affect your results and how your body responds to treatment.
KYBELLA is intended for individuals 18 years and older and has not been approved for other parts of the body.
Your Treatment Appointment
Before getting KYBELLA® injections, you’ll have a private consultation to discuss your appearance goals and whether you are a good candidate for double chin treatment. We offer flexible appointment times that allow you to fit this quick, lunchtime treatment into your schedule with ease.
Your consultation is also the ideal time to ask any questions you may have about KYBELLA® or any other treatment options. For some people, liposuction may prove to be a better option for sculpting the neck and jaw. Those interested in additional nonsurgical facial enhancement may consider injectable fillers to balance facial symmetry and fill in lost volume, or Dysport® to relax facial wrinkles.
At Kaufman & Davis Plastic Surgery, all KYBELLA® injections are performed by our experienced nurses. Once injected, KYBELLA® works to break down dietary fat under the chin by destroying fat cells, which are then eliminated by the body.
What to Expect
A double chin can be one of the hardest features to slim down on your own. For many, submental fullness is genetic. For others, it’s an unwanted reminder of previous weight fluctuations. Hormones and aging can also bring about a double chin where there wasn’t one before.
KYBELLA treatments are delivered through quick injections directly into the pocket of fat, dissolving excess fat cells and leaving you with a more defined neck and jawline.
Your provider will clean and numb the area under the chin and a temporary grid-like pattern will be applied to the treatment area. This will help guide your injector to ensure you receive accurate, even injections while avoiding facial nerves. When KYBELLA is injected, the deoxycholic acid will begin breaking down the targeted fat. The process is gradual, and most people notice improvement after 2 treatments.
Recovery & Results
One of the greatest benefits of KYBELLA treatments is that this noninvasive procedure can be done in as little as 20 minutes and requires no downtime. Most people have between 2 and 6 treatments, spaced about a month apart. Minor temporary bruising or swelling may occur but should fade within a few days to 1 week.
Full recovery takes about 1 month, so it is recommended to wait 1 month before having your next treatment. Multiple treatment sessions are usually necessary. The number of treatments you’ll need will depend on the amount of fat in the chin area and your desired results.
While individual results vary, most people see noticeable improvement after 2 treatment sessions. The changes will be gradual as the Deoxycholic acid works to dissolve the unwanted fat.
After you have completed your KYBELLA treatment plan, you should see better contours along the chin and neck and an improved profile. Full results can take up 6 months to be experienced. However, your results should be long-lasting.
