FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS KYBELLA?

Kybella is a refined version of a substance called deoxycholic acid, which is naturally produced by your body. Deoxycholic acid’s primary role is assisting with fat absorption.
HOW DOES KYBELLA WORK?

It destroys fat cells wherever it is injected, causing them to be absorbed by the body. When injected into the fat beneath your chin, Kybella causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. This makes Kybella an innovative and ideal new way for patients to gain some of the benefits of liposuction for a double chin without surgery. Prior to approval in May of 2015 by the Food and Drug Administration, Kybella was the subject of medical trials that included more than 1,000 individuals. The results showed that eight out of ten people who received Kybella had a loss of chin fat.
WHY CHOOSE KYBELLA?

Most people who have a double chin feel self-conscious about the fullness. To make matters worse, extra fat in this region may not go away with diet and exercise. A lot of individuals who struggle with double chins avoid liposuction for their problem because they worry about the costs, downtime, and invasiveness. Fortunately, Kybella offers a cutting-edge new way to solve double chins without these obstacles.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?

Many patients experience visible contouring of their chin profile in two to four treatment sessions spaced at least one month apart on average. Once the desired aesthetic response is achieved with Kybella, re-treatment is not expected.
