If you are one of the many who are frustrated with excess fat under your chin, we finally have a safe and effective answer. We can now help contour your jawline non-surgically with Kybella. We treat this area and can sometimes treat the jowls as well with this tool. It’s an important part of our toolkit for facial rejuvenation and balancing. 

Involving little-to-no downtime, it is a wonderful alternative to more invasive procedures.

How does Kybella work?

Kybella is FDA approved for the safe and effective treatment of excess fat under the chin.

The main component of Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a molecule that naturally occurs in your body to help absorb and break down dietary fat.

When injected directly into moderate to severe pockets of fat cells under your chin, Kybella effectively destroys the cells and prevents them from storing or accumulating fat in the future.

To avoid damaging surrounding tissue, it’s critical that you choose an experienced, trained injector for your treatment.

With Kybella, patients can see dramatic results gradually after a few treatments, without down time or surgery. These are scheduled 6 weeks apart. 

What to expect:

During the consultation, your provider will inspect and touch the areas you are concerned with and determine the proper dose for you. She will clean and perhaps mark the areas for injecting.

Sensitivity and tenderness can last several minutes after injections, and you can expect swelling. Sensitivity and numbness can last for several weeks. 

It’s ok to take Tylenol for the discomfort, but avoid massaging or icing the area. Follow up will be scheduled in 6 weeks for additional treatments as needed.
