Kybella FAQs

Kybella is an injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fat, which is the fat that accumulates under the chin, resulting in a "double chin" appearance.

Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the submental area, Kybella targets and destroys fat cells, leading to a reduction in chin fat over time.

Kybella is considered safe when administered by a qualified healthcare provider. It has been approved by the FDA for the treatment of submental fat.

Good candidates for Kybella are individuals with moderate to severe submental fat who are bothered by the appearance of a double chin but do not want to undergo surgery. It's essential to have a consultation with a qualified provider to determine if Kybella is suitable for your specific needs.

The number of Kybella treatments required can vary depending on the individual and the amount of submental fat. Typically, a series of two to six treatments, spaced about four to six weeks apart, is recommended for optimal results.

Some individuals may experience mild discomfort during Kybella injections, such as a burning or stinging sensation. However, discomfort is usually short-lived, and a topical numbing cream or ice may be applied to minimize any discomfort.

Common side effects of Kybella can include temporary swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. These side effects usually subside within a few days to a week.

Results from Kybella injections are typically visible within a few weeks to a couple of months after the treatment series is completed. The fat reduction process continues gradually as the body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells.

Kybella results can be long-lasting, as the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed. However, maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can help prevent the accumulation of new fat cells in the treated area.

Kybella is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of anaphylaxis or other severe allergies, or have an active infection in the treatment area. It's essential to discuss your medical history with your healthcare provider during the consultation.
