What is Kybella and how does it work?
Kybella is an injectable form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down and absorbs dietary fat. When injected directly into the submental (under-chin) area, Kybella destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. Once those fat cells are removed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat—making results permanent with proper weight maintenance.

What can I expect during the procedure?
The treatment takes 15–20 minutes. After mapping the treatment area, a series of small injections are made under the chin. A numbing agent or ice pack is typically used to minimize discomfort. You may feel a warm or tingling sensation for a few minutes after the injections.

What is the recovery and downtime?
Swelling, tenderness, and mild bruising are common and can last 3–7 days, sometimes up to 10 days. Swelling is a sign that the fat cells are breaking down and being processed by the body. Most patients return to regular activities within 1–2 days but may delay social events for a few days due to visible swelling.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Results develop gradually over 4–6 weeks as your body metabolizes the destroyed fat. Most patients require a series of 2 to 4 treatments spaced one month apart for optimal contouring. Once fat cells are eliminated, results are long-lasting and do not require maintenance unless weight gain occurs.
