What is KYBELLA®?

KYBELLA® is a prescription injectable used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat). It’s designed for people who want a non-surgical approach to reducing the look of a double chin.

How Does KYBELLA® Work?

KYBELLA® injections are an effective and FDA-approved treatment for patients who have moderate-to-severe fat below the chin, known as submental fat. The KYBELLA® drug is a synthetic version of a bio acid that the body naturally produces. When injected into the area below the chin, KYBELLA® can successfully eliminate fat deposits by rupturing the fat cell membranes permanently. Patients benefit from a simple and non-surgical method to reduce their double-chin appearance and restore their self-confidence.

01 • Target

Submental fat beneath the chin is assessed and mapped to your anatomy.

02 • Treat

Injections are placed strategically to address fat deposits under the chin.

03 • Refine

Your body gradually processes the treated fat cells over time as part of the post-treatment response.

What to Expect

KYBELLA® is a quick procedure performed in the comfort of our office. As with our other facial injectable treatments, there is almost no social downtime associated with KYBELLA®. Depending on your specific needs and goals, repeated injections may be needed for optimal results.

Patients often start with two injection sessions, typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Further injections may be needed following the initial treatment. Tammy Cabrera, DNP, FNP-BC can recommend the best plan for you and help you pursue the results you’re hoping for.

KYBELLA® is intended for adults with moderate to severe fat below the chin who want a non-surgical approach to improving profile definition. During your consultation, we’ll review health history, anatomy, and aesthetic goals to confirm candidacy and map a plan.
