What Is Kybella?

Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to destroy fat cells under the chin. This treatment enhances the appearance of a person’s profile, reducing submental fullness and getting rid of their double chin. Kybella’s formula contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid. This substance is found naturally in the body. It is responsible for breaking down dietary fat cells so that they can be absorbed and expelled from the body. Kybella utilizes the power of deoxycholic acid to target fat underneath the chin and destroy it permanently.

The Kybella Injection Process

All of our Kybella treatments are performed at our plastic surgery and laser center located in the New York area. In order to mark where the injections will be made, a temporary tattoo will be used in the area underneath the chin. This resembles a grid and allows Dr. Shafer to make precise injections. A numbing solution is also applied to the area to reduce any discomfort caused by the injections.

What to Expect

In most cases, it will take more than one Kybella treatment session to fully achieve the patient’s desired results. The exact number of treatments will vary from patient to patient and will heavily depend on the size of the area and the amount of fat that needs to be eliminated.

After a treatment has been performed, a degree of bruising and swelling may occur in the region but should not persist past a few days. Since Kybella is a non-surgical treatment, there is no recovery period, though some patients may need a few hours of downtime immediately following their treatment.
