Get Rid of Your Double Chin Non-Surgically

Some people naturally store fat under the chin, known as submental fullness. This can happen when people have a few pounds to lose but that’s not always the case – for some people submental fullness, the official name for fat under the chin, simply happens. This is frustrating because nothing you do will make it go away, and you can’t seem to escape seeing it everywhere you look.

Kybella is the only FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment for double chin. Made from deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, Kybella destroys fat cells so they can no longer store fat. This safe and effective procedure can permanently reshape your profile.

What is kybella?

Kybella is the only FDA approved non-surgical treatment for heaviness under the chin, or “double chin”. It is made of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

When injected, Kybella destroys fat cells, which are naturally eliminated by the body. Once destroyed, these cells cannot store or accumulate fat again, providing a long-term reduction in submental fullness.

Kybella is not right for every patient, so our skilled team will assess your situation before recommending it. For patients with double chin and excess loose skin, a combination of Kybell and a thread lift might be recommended. Results develop gradually over several weeks, giving a natural, contoured profile without surgery or downtime.

Benefits

Kybella is an injectable treatment that targets fat beneath the chin, also known as submental fullness. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, breaks down and removes fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. Once destroyed, these cells cannot store or accumulate fat again, providing long-lasting results.

In addition to reducing fat, Kybella helps contour and define the jawline for a more balanced facial profile. Key benefits include:

Guide to Your Session

What to Know Before Your Session

Before your appointment, it’s important to prepare to ensure safety and optimal results:

What to Expect During your Appointment

A Kybella treatment is minimally invasive and typically lasts 15–20 minutes. During your session:

A topical numbing cream is applied to the area for comfort.
One to three vials of Kybella are injected, depending on the amount of fat and your treatment goals.
Mild burning, achiness, or tenderness may occur but usually subsides quickly.
Most patients tolerate the procedure well with minimal discomfort.

What to Expect After Your Treatment

After your Kybella treatment, you may see results immediately, but that will not last more than 3-4 days. Long-term results will start to become more apparent over the next 4 weeks. Key points for post-treatment:

Massage the treated area 5 times a day for 5 days to ensure smooth, natural-looking results.
Swelling may last several days, and results appear gradually over 4 weeks.
Some patients may require a follow-up treatment after 4–6 weeks, depending on individual goals.
Avoid strenuous exercise or high-impact activities immediately following treatment.
Results develop gradually, giving a subtle and natural contour to the jawline.
