What to Expect

  • Consultation:

    • Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation where the healthcare provider will review your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and examine the area under your chin to determine if Kybella is appropriate for you.

  • Preparation:

    • The treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical numbing agent or ice
      pack may be applied to reduce discomfort during the injections.

    • Your provider may mark the injection sites under your chin to ensure
      precise treatment.

  • Injection Process:

    • Using a fine needle, the healthcare provider will inject Kybella into the
      targeted fat beneath your chin. The number of injections will depend on
      the amount of fat and your desired outcome.

    • The injection process typically takes about 15-20 minutes.

  • Post-Treatment Care:

    • After the injections, you may experience mild side effects such as swelling, bruising, redness, or discomfort at the injection sites.

    • Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions to help manage these side effects and ensure the best results.

  • Recovery:

    • You can usually resume normal activities immediately after the treatment, although it's advised to avoid strenuous exercise and alcohol for the first 24 hours.

    • Swelling and other side effects typically subside within a few days to a couple of weeks.

  • Follow-Up:

    • A follow-up appointment will be scheduled to assess your progress and determine if additional treatment sessions are needed. Most patients require multiple sessions spaced about a month apart to achieve optimal results.

FAQs

  • Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.

  • The number of treatments varies depending on the amount of submental fat and your desired results. Most patients require 2-4 sessions, spaced about a month apart.

  • Common side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, and discomfort at the injection sites. These effects typically subside within a few days to a couple of weeks.

  • The results of Kybella are long-lasting. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not return. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help sustain the results.

  • Some improvement may be noticeable within a few weeks, but the full results typically develop gradually over several months as the body eliminates the treated fat cells.

  • Kybella is currently FDA-approved only for the treatment of submental fat under the chin. Off-label uses should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
