Stubborn fat (double chin)

The fat in these specific areas is often genetic or hormonal rather than just a result of diet. Submental fat (under the chin) and the “bra bulge” (the pocket of fat near the armpit) are notoriously resistant to traditional weight loss. Kybella is specifically designed to target these pockets, using deoxycholic acid to permanently destroy those fat cells so they can no longer store fat

No, Kybella is a contouring and sculpting treatment, not a solution for weight loss. It is intended for patients who are at or near their goal weight but have localized “pockets” of fat that distort their silhouette. While the fat cells destroyed are gone forever, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key to ensuring your results stay crisp and defined

Since everyone’s anatomy is unique, the number of treatments varies. Most patients see their best results after a series of 2 to 4 sessions, spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart. During your consultation, we will assess the “fullness” of the area and provide a customized plan detailing exactly how many vials we expect you will need

Swelling is the most common reaction after the treatment and is actually a sign that the treatment is working! When Kybella is injected, it causes an inflammatory response as it breaks down the fat cells. This “social downtime” (often called the “bullfrog effect”) is most significant after the first session and usually subsides within a week. As the fat is processed and cleared by your body, the swelling disappears, and the skin begins to tighten

Kybella is primarily a fat-reducer, but the inflammatory response it triggers often results in a mild “tissue tightening” effect in the treated area. However, if you have significant sagging skin after fat removal, we may recommend pairing your Kybella treatments with Sofwave to further lift and firm the area for a truly contoured profile

Yes. Once Kybella destroys the targeted fat cells, they are gone for good. Your body does not grow new fat cells in that area. As long as you maintain a stable weight, your new, sculpted profile should be permanent. This makes it a fantastic non-surgical alternative to liposuction for small, targeted areas

Best candidates are those who struggle with stubborn fat such as “double chin” or “bra bulge” but want non-surgical treatment options. Kybella can permanently reduces those stubborn fat with several sessions, scheduled one month apart
