FAT DISSOLVER
KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile.
HOW DOES KYBELLA WORK?
The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR KYBELLA?
Adults over the age of 21 who are medically healthy and who are not allergic to the active ingredients in the formula of this treatment are generally ideal candidates. This treatment is ideal for those who have a moderate amount of unwanted fat beneath the chin, particularly those who have struggled to get rid of this fat with traditional means.
Additionally, candidates for this treatment are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding. The best candidates are those who would prefer to use a non-surgical treatment to reduce under-chin fat, especially if they are not qualified or interested in cosmetic surgeries such as liposuction. We will determine your candidacy for this treatment at your consultation, either in person or virtually.
WILL I NEED TIME TO RECOVER?
After KYBELLA® treatment, you will likely have some swelling, bruising, or numbness under your chin. Be sure to inform your healthcare professional if you develop an uneven smile, facial muscle weakness, difficulty swallowing or injection site problems such as bruising, hair loss, open sores (ulcers), and damage and tissue cell-death (necrosis) around the injection site. Call your healthcare provider if you develop open sores or drainage from the treatment area.

- Nerve injury in the jaw (which can cause an uneven smile or facial muscle weakness)
