What is Kybella?

In 2015, the FDA approved Kybella for non-surgically improving the appearance of unwanted fat beneath the chin. The injectable treatment contains deoxycholic acid, a compound responsible for fat metabolism found naturally within the human body. When injected, Kybella works to dissolve and destroy fat cells, and a common added benefit is a tightening effect on the surrounding skin. Today, Kybella is commonly used not only for neck contouring and eliminating a double chin, but for various body sculpting treatments as well, including the dreaded “armpit roll”!

Why consider Kybella treatment at PERK Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills?

Sometimes a double chin is the result of the aging process, while other times, it is an inherited genetic trait that we probably wish we’d never received. Unfortunately, dieting and exercise do little to contour this difficult-to-reach area. Luckily, there are several solutions to help do away with frustrating submental fat.

The first is a surgical neck lift, but this comes with certain risks and substantial downtime, not to mention scarring. The second option is treatment with Kybella, an injectable that is FDA approved to help reduce stubborn fat pockets beneath the chin.

Body treatments with Kybella

In addition to reducing a double chin and defining the jawline, Kybella can be used to contour the following areas of the body, including the following:

  • Back
  • Inner knees
  • No downtime
  • Lower buttocks
  • Armpits
  • Breasts

Kybella injections around the breasts can safely and non-invasively slim and tone small unwanted fatty regions, such as the bra roll, which is typically unreceptive to diet and exercise. Kybella is injected into the fatty tissue, where it works to sustainably emulsify stubborn fat and leave you with a more streamlined breast contour. This treatment works in the same way for the back, inner knees, lower buttocks, and armpits.

  • No downtime

How does Kybella work? 

Kybella is made from deoxycholic acid, a compound found naturally in the human body. Deoxycholic acid is responsible for fat metabolism. It destroys the cell membranes of fat cells, eradicating them and flushing them out as waste. When injected into the double chin area, Kybella accomplishes this same goal, delivering a more elegant and refined silhouette as well as a better self-image.

Who is a candidate for Kybella?

Candidates for Kybella would like to address a double chin or other small fatty pockets that are difficult to budge without surgical treatment. Candidates meet the following requirements:

  • Are healthy, both emotionally and physically
  • Have small pockets of excess fat or a double chin
  • Do not smoke

  • Small fat pockets do not reduce with diet and exercise
  • Have realistic expectations about what can be achieved with Kybella injections 

How many Kybella treatments are required to create visible changes?

Each patient has a different amount of submental fat and will respond differently to Kybella, so the number of injections is tailored to your specific case. In general, it will take between one and four 30-minute sessions spaced about six weeks apart to see comprehensive improvement.

What is the recovery like for Kybella?

For 2-3 days, there may be some minor swelling at the injection site. This is normal and will pass quickly. 

How long do Kybella results last?

Results from Kybella are considered to be long-term. The fat will not return as long as you maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
