Call to Schedule an AppointmentWhat is KYBELLA?
KYBELLA is the first and only FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment that removes your double chin by reducing the fat under the chin without surgery. Kybella contains a naturally occurring ingredient called deoxycholic acid, something your body already produces. This ingredient destroys fat cells. Afterwards, those cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. For years, liposuction or surgery were the only options to eliminate the double chin. However, patients wishing to melt chin fat without surgery can now do so with Kybella.
Benefits of Kybella
Choosing Kybella for your double chin treatment offers numerous advantages:
- Non-Surgical Solution: Kybella requires no incisions or anesthesia, making it a safer alternative to surgery.
- Quick and Convenient Treatments: Each session typically takes 15–20 minutes, allowing you to fit the procedure into your busy schedule.
- Minimal Downtime: Most clients can resume normal activities shortly after treatment.
- Permanent Results: Once Kybella destroys fat cells, they are gone for good.
- Enhanced Confidence: Enjoy a slimmer, more sculpted jawline and an improved facial profile.
At Skin M.D. and Beyond, we ensure that every treatment is customized to meet your needs so you can feel confident knowing you’re receiving personalized care.
Who Is A Candidate For Kybella?
KYBELLA will work for anyone with fullness below the chin. Anyone wishing to reduce their double chin without surgery or liposuction is an ideal candidate for non-surgical Kybella. The best candidates have elastic skin (ie are young enough that the skin will spring back). The drug does not tighten the skin, but there may be some skin contraction, and some patients in clinical trials have reported tighter skin under the chin.
However, individuals with sagging skin may notice more looseness afterward and require a skin tightening procedure such as radiofrequency or a facelift.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Kybella Substitute For Weight Loss?
No, Kybella is not a treatment for weight loss. It is specifically designed to target and reduce stubborn fat under the chin, making it ideal for those at or near their ideal weight but struggle with a double chin. For individuals with a double chin caused by obesity, diet and exercise remain the most effective and recommended solutions.
How Many Treatments Are Required?
Patients should plan on about two to four KYBELLA treatments spaced one month apart. Each treatment will be about 15-20 minutes in length. Many patients have seen reduced chin fat in two treatments, but four to six may be required for fuller chins and necks. These results may last several years, and re-treatment is often unnecessary.
What Are The Possible Side Effects?
KYBELLA has been approved by the FDA and is considered safe. In the clinical trial of 5000 patients, the most common side effects were swelling at the injection site, bruising, pain, temporary numbness, reddening of the skin, and areas of firmness.
The most serious side effect was an injury to a branch of the facial nerve in the jaw area, causing a crooked smile. This occurred when injections were given too close to the nerve. The problem occurred in 4% of participants in the trial and eventually resolved in everyone.
What Is Recovery Like?
There is some inflammation and tenderness after treatment, which may last 3-5 days. Since this is a non-invasive procedure, the recovery time is faster than liposuction and is reported by most patients to be just a few days.
Note to Men: Shaving the treatment area may cause increased sensitivity during the healing process. Wearing a dress shirt with a tie may be uncomfortable for 7-10 days after the injection treatment.
Can Kybella Be Combined with Other Treatments?
For a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation, Kybella can be combined with other treatments, such as Botox or dermal fillers. Dr. Wright’s personalized care ensures that each treatment complements your unique facial structure for optimal outcomes.
