What Is Kybella?

Kybella is a prescription medicine used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.” It is not known if Kybella is safe and effective for use outside of the submental area.

The active ingredient in Kybella® is deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath your chin, Kybella causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

What Can I Expect During My Kybella Appointment?

At the beginning of your appointment, your health care provider will clean the chin and neck area, then apply a temporary grid or markup to the area to guide evenly dispersed injections. The appointment will take between 15 minutes to a half-hour and topical anesthetic is usually not necessary. The size and shape of the grid, and the number of injections, depend on the fullness of your chin fullness.

You may experience some swelling and soreness at the injection site, but you can return to normal activity—except rigorous exercise—the same day. Exercise can be resumed 24-48 hours afterward and any discomfort can be calmed using a cold compress or ice pack.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

A Quintessa licensed provider will customize your Kybella treatment regimen, including how many treatments you need, based on your desired chin profile. Many patients experience visible results in 2 to 4 treatment sessions. During these sessions, your provider will administer Kybella into the fat under your chin using multiple injections. Up to 6 treatment sessions may be administered spaced no less than one month apart.

Kybella FAQs:

How Long Does Kybella Last?

At Quintessa, Kybella offers long-lasting results—once fat cells are destroyed, they can’t return. Most patients enjoy a slimmer chin contour long-term, though future weight gain may affect the overall appearance.

What Is the Best Age for Kybella Treatment?

Kybella is an FDA-approved treatment for adults 18 and older, but most Quintessa patients are in their 30s to 50s, looking to reduce stubborn under-chin fat that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella?

Good candidates are healthy adults with moderate to severe submental fullness. If you’re bothered by a double chin and want a non-surgical solution, our experts at Quintessa can help determine if Kybella is right for you.

Is One Session of Kybella Enough?

While some patients see improvement after one session, most need 2–4 treatments for optimal results. At Quintessa, we create a customized plan based on your chin profile and goals.

Does Kybella Slim Your Face?

Kybella targets and permanently reduces fat under the chin, which can create a slimmer, more defined jawline and enhance overall facial balance.

What Can I Expect During My Consultation for Kybella at Quintessa?

At Quintessa, your Kybella consultation is led by a licensed aesthetic provider under the guidance of Dr. Andrew Campbell, our double board-certified facial plastic surgeon. We’ll assess your chin profile, explain how Kybella works, and build a custom plan to help you achieve a slimmer, more sculpted jawline.
