Kybella

What is KYBELLA?

KYBELLA is the first FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to deal with double chins. When patients are bothered by the fat under their chin but don’t want to undergo surgery, KYBELLA is an excellent option.

Many people struggle with excess padding under the chin, also known as submental fullness. This can be caused by genetics, weight gain, or aging. However it develops, it’s generally undesired, as it can make a person look older and heavier. KYBELLA is specifically designed to remove submental fullness without surgery, helping people look their youngest and thinnest.

How does KYBELLA work?

During each KYBELLA treatment, several small injections will be administered to your chin. The entire procedure usually takes around 20 minutes. The KYBELLA injections contain deoxycholic acid, the manmade form of a substance your body makes to break down and absorb fats.

When injected into the problem area under your chin, it destroys the fat cells in your neck and melts away the fullness of this area. As the fat cells dissolve, your body reveals tighter skin and a trimmer curve to your neck.

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients will require multiple KYBELLA treatments to achieve their desired results. Some patients may see results in as few as two treatments. Manhattan Dermatology offers consultations to patients interested in learning more about KYBELLA. During that consultation, their experienced staff can estimate how many treatments their skin will need.

Treatments are administered at least one month apart.

Is KYBELLA permanent?

Yes! Once you reach your desired chin curve, you should not need any further KYBELLA treatments unless you gain additional weight. KYBELLA destroys fat cells when it is injected into them. Over time, those cells permanently lose the ability to store fat. As long as no new fat cells are created, the results from your KYBELLA treatments will be permanent.

What is recovery like after KYBELLA?

After your KYBELLA treatment, it’s normal to have some bruising, swelling, and numbness under your chin. This will fade as your body reveals a slimmer, more sculpted under-chin area.
