Sometimes, the area under the chin does not match the rest of your features. You may eat well, move your body, and still notice fullness that softens your jawline or shows up in selfies and photos from certain angles.
To help our clients who have fullness around their jawline, aka a “double chin,” we use Kybella. This powerful injectable targets fat cells in the area, supporting a more defined profile and restoring your confidence.
While you have some downtime with this injectable, it has less intensive recovery compared to surgical procedures. This treatment works great for patients who struggle with the appearance of a double chin but want to minimize it without the invasive nature of surgery or liposuction.
How Kybella Works
Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a substance that helps break down fat cells in the treated area once injected.
Once those fat cells dissolve, your body naturally processes them, flushing them out gradually.
Because this process takes time, you won’t see immediate results. You can start to see changes in your chin fullness as you continue with your treatment plan, usually a series of 3 to 6 appointments, with the full results settling in after your final session.
Our Treatment Process
Before you receive treatment, you meet with one of our nurse injectors for a required consultation. During this one-on-one meeting, they ask about your goals, examine the area, and explore how Kybella can support your goals and features.
During treatment, your injector carefully marks the area of concern and places a series of small injections under the chin, which take just a few minutes to administer.
Some of our clients return to their regular schedule after their appointment, but you might experience swelling, tenderness, and soreness as the area heals. Your provider gives you detailed post-care instructions to help the injection work most effectively and enhance healing and recovery. To be safe, expect a downtime of 3 to 5 days as swelling subsides and the injection takes effect.
We want to help you feel more confident from every angle. With the right plan, our fat-reducing injectable can support a cleaner-looking jawline and a more balanced profile that helps you love your reflection again.
Important to Note
Kybella is not a weight loss treatment, and it does not treat fat at a large scale. We use it for clients who are close to their target weight but still struggle with fullness under the chin.
Submental fullness is nothing to feel ashamed about, as it can happen due to genetics, natural aging, and weight gain. However, we also understand if you want sharper definition without surgery, in which case, Kybella makes a great option.
