A soft area under the chin can make your profile look less defined, even if you’re otherwise lean. Kybella® offers a way to sculpt that area without surgery.
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable made from a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body uses to break down dietary fat. When injected under the chin, it destroys fat cells so they can no longer store fat.
How it enhances facial contour
- Reduces fullness under the chin
- Sharpens the jawline
- Improves the angle between the chin and neck
- Creates a more balanced profile
What treatment involves
Your provider marks the area and places a series of small injections. Sessions take about 15 to 20 minutes. Most people need two to four sessions spaced at least a month apart.
Recovery
Swelling is normal and is usually most noticeable for a few days. Tenderness or numbness may last a little longer. Many patients schedule treatment when they have a quieter week.
Who is a good candidate?
Ideal candidates have moderate fat under the chin, good skin elasticity, and a stable weight. If loose skin is the main concern, other treatments may be better suited.
