Kybella® in Boston, MA
A more defined profile, without surgery
A stubborn pocket of fat under the chin can make your profile look heavier than you are, and it often doesn’t respond to diet or exercise.
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable that breaks down fat cells under the chin. Once those cells are destroyed, they can’t store fat again, so results are long lasting. Our Boston providers plan each treatment around your anatomy and goals.
