Kybella Injections

Get Started

Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to address submental fullness, which occurs when excess fat accumulates beneath the chin and can be challenging to get rid of with diet and exercise alone.

Kybella injections have become a popular treatment option for individuals who want a non-invasive approach to double chin reduction and don’t want to deal with the downtime typically associated with surgical procedures.

Questions & Answers with Dr. Aker

How much downtime can I expect after Kybella Treatment?

Downtime is generally minimal. Most patients can resume their usual routine on the same day as the treatment, with some limitations in strenuous activities. Swelling, bruising, and redness are common but temporary side effects that may affect social plans for a few days.

Will I experience pain or discomfort during the Kybella procedure?

Discomfort during Kybella treatment is typically mild and temporary. We may use topical anesthetics or recommend other pain management techniques to enhance your comfort during the procedure.

Can Kybella be combined with other facial procedures, and is there a recommended timeline between treatments?

Kybella can be effectively combined with other procedures for enhanced results, but discussing your goals first is essential. We can advise you on the compatibility of Kybella with other treatments and recommend the best timeline for achieving optimal outcomes.

How long do the results of Kybella treatment last, and will I need additional sessions for maintenance?

Results vary among individuals, and while some may achieve significant improvement after one session, others may need multiple sessions for optimal results. Lifestyle factors can affect how long the results last, so patients may require maintenance sessions to keep them up.

Does Kybella impact facial expressions?

Kybella is designed to target submental fat specifically. When performed by a skilled professional, the treatment should not affect the natural movement of facial muscles

Can I develop further submental fat after Kybella Treatments?

Kybella treatments permanently reduce existing submental fat but don’t prevent potential weight gain or the development of new fat cells in various body areas, including the submental region. Ensuring a healthy lifestyle through a balanced diet and regular exercise maintains results.

The Specifics

Kybella Details

How does Kybella work?

When injected into the fat beneath your chin, Kybella destroys fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

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.

Fat cleared from the treatment area is processed through your body’s natural metabolism.

Before receiving Kybella, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: Have had or plan to have surgery on your face, neck, or chin; have had cosmetic treatments.

Consultation Process and Assessment

The consultation is an opportunity to openly discuss patient goals, express reservations, and build confidence in the provider’s expertise. Here is what happens during a Kybella consultation at John Aker Aesthetics:
  • Assessment of Submental Fat: We will assess the amount and distribution of submental fat to determine the appropriate treatment plan.
  • Overall Health Evaluation: A comprehensive evaluation of the candidate’s general health will be conducted to ensure suitability for Kybella treatment.
  • Discussion of Goals and Expectations: Discussions include a dialogue about the candidate’s aesthetic goals and expectations, ensuring alignment with achievable outcomes.
  • Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, we will create a customized treatment plan laying out the number of Kybella sessions needed for optimal results.

Is Kybella right for you?

Here are characteristics that typically define ideal candidates for Kybella treatment:
  • Presence of Double Chin: Ideal candidates have noticeable submental fullness that they wish to reduce.
  • Overall Health: Good general health is essential to ensure a successful treatment. Significant medical conditions can complicate the process or increase the risk of complications.
  • Understanding of Results: Ideal candidates understand the expected outcomes of Kybella treatment and have realistic expectations regarding the degree of improvement.
  • Avoidance of Surgery: If you’re looking for a non-surgical and minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures for submental fat reduction, Kybella could be the right choice.
  • Skin Elasticity: Individuals with relatively good skin elasticity are often ideal candidates, as the skin is more likely to adapt to the changes in the submental area after fat reduction.
  • Skin Health:  To ensure proper healing, it’s important to be free from skin infections or conditions in the treatment area.

Treatment Procedure

Kybella is administered through precisely targeted injections directly into the submental fat. The injection sites are strategically chosen to address specific areas of submental fullness, allowing for a customized approach tailored to individual facial anatomy and desired outcomes.
A treatment session typically lasts about 15 to 20 minutes. Patients with little excess chin fat will need around 20 to 25 injections in a single Kybella session, while others with more submental fullness may need closer to 50 injections to achieve significant results.
While one session can yield noticeable results for some individuals, we may recommend a series of treatment sessions for optimal outcomes, usually spaced at least one month apart. The total number of sessions depends on factors such as the amount of submental fat and individual response to the treatment.

Recovery and Results

Kybella Treatment is performed on an outpatient basis. Since it is non-surgical, patients can typically return home on the same day as the treatment.
Anticipate temporary side effects, including swelling, bruising, and redness at the injection sites. These effects typically subside on their own within a few days.
Avoid strenuous physical activity to reduce the risk of increased swelling and bruising, and handle the treated area with care. Use mild skin care products and refrain from aggressive rubbing or massaging.
Attend follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and be able to make adjustments to the treatment plan if necessary.
Most importantly, maintain your results by practicing a holistic, healthy lifestyle, incorporating a balanced diet, regular exercise, proper sleep, and other healthy habits.
