Kybella uses synthetic deoxycholic acid to break down and absorb fat cells in the chin area, resulting in a more defined jawline. The treatment involves a series of injections spaced a few weeks apart, with gradual results over time. It’s quick and minimizes downtime, offering a convenient option for those seeking to reduce submental fat without surgery.
Kybella offers a non-surgical approach with minimal downtime compared to alternatives like liposuction or neck lift surgery. Consulting with a healthcare provider is essential to determine the best option for your needs and goals.
There are typically four steps to a Kybella treatment:
After the treatment, it is common for the treated area to swell and remain slightly tender for a period of one to two weeks. Despite this, the majority of patients are typically able to resume their normal daily activities the day following the treatment. To conceal any swelling, a scarf or bandana can be used, and any bruising can be masked with cover-up products. It is important to refrain from massaging the treated area after injection, as well as avoiding chemical peels, facials, and laser treatments for a period of 14 days.
Results typically appear gradually over four to six weeks, with multiple sessions often recommended for optimal results. Kybella permanently destroys fat cells, offering long-term improvement.
However, maintaining results may require a healthy lifestyle to prevent remaining fat cells from expanding with weight gain. Consulting with a healthcare professional ensures you receive personalized recommendations tailored to your goals.
Ideal candidates for Kybella include individuals with moderate to severe submental fullness who want to improve their facial profile without surgery. Good candidates have good overall health with realistic expectations and minimal loose skin under the neck.
$500-$3,000 per session. Prices vary depending on geography and package options.
