Kybella Benefits
The infamous double chin, medically described as submental fullness, is a common feature in nearly 70% of Americans. Despite its prevalence, people generally report feeling insecure about their neck and chin area due to its fullness.
Kybella’s most significant benefits are its:
- Affordability
- Non-invasiveness
- Short recovery time; and
- Guaranteed results
Kybella Treatment Areas
Kybella is only approved for the neck and chin area. More research must be conducted before the FDA approves it anywhere else.
What To Expect From Kybella Treatment
Based on our findings during your consultation, we will begin the treatment by administering up to 50 injections of .2mL deoxycholic acid spaced one cm apart using a 30 gauge, half-inch needle.
Treatment generally takes anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes to complete, depending on the number of injections and the size of the treatment area.
You may experience slight discomfort during treatment, which will subside in the next few hours. We advise patients to take it easy the rest of the day and apply an ice pack to the treatment area to minimize swelling and bruising and relieve pain.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kybella
How Long Does Kybella Last?
Because our bodies generally do not create new fat cells after the age of 25, your Kybella results can potentially last a lifetime! Once destroyed, fat cells do not return. However, Kybella does not remove all the fat cells in the treatment area. The ones remaining can still enlarge. An overall healthy lifestyle will ensure that your neck area remains slim and double chin-free.
Is One Session of Kybella Enough?
Sometimes, but not always.
Generally, most people need between two to six treatments before they see substantial results. These sessions are spaced one month apart, and results can be seen within one to three weeks of treatment.
Is Kybella Painful?
The pain from the injections themselves is minimal. We use a super tiny needle that is injected into cushiony fat, meaning you’ll only feel a slight pin prick. However, within a few minutes, you may feel a moderate burning sensation as the deoxycholic acid begins destroying fat cells. This sensation only lasts a couple of hours. Afterward, the area may feel “warm” for the next day or two.
Most patients report that the pain is tolerable and manageable with over-the-counter pain medication.
What Kind of Side Effects Can I Expect from Kybella?
Common side effects of Kybella include:
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Soreness
- Redness
- Hardness around the injection area
These side effects are transient, meaning they should go away within a few days to a few weeks.
A rare side effect of Kybella is significant swelling around the chin and neck area, often described as “bullfrog neck.” For individuals who experience this, the swelling generally subsides after weeks. Other rare but serious side effects of Kybella include:
- Nerve injury
- Difficulty swallowing
- Infection
Are Kybella Injections Suitable for Everyone?
Typically, Kybella injections are safe and effective for individuals over the age of 18.
However, Kybella is not recommended for people who:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Are on blood thinners
- Have bleeding disorders
- Are prone to infections
- Have a history of keloid scarring
- Experience difficulty swallowing
Kybella injections are suitable for anyone who:
- Is bothered (unhappy, self-conscious, embarrassed) by fat under the chin
- Doesn’t want to have surgery
- Eats well and exercises but experiences stubborn chin/neck fat
- Feels the condition makes them look slightly older or heavier than they actually are
