At Cosmetic and Reconstructive Specialists of Florida in Fort Lauderdale, our experienced aesthetic specialists offer Kybella as a non-surgical solution to help you define your jawline and reduce unwanted fullness beneath the chin.
How Kybella Works
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed specifically to target and reduce fat under the chin. Its active ingredient, synthetic deoxycholic acid, is a molecule your body naturally uses to break down and absorb dietary fat. When Kybella is injected into the submental area, it permanently destroys fat cells. Once those cells are gone, they can no longer store or accumulate fat.
Kybella is particularly appealing if you want noticeable sculpting without surgery, anesthesia, or incisions. Most patients begin to see improvement over a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart, with results continuing to refine as swelling resolves and the body clears the treated fat.
Who Is the Ideal Candidate?
Kybella works best for people who:
- Have mild to moderate fullness under the chin
- Prefer a non-surgical contouring option
- Maintain a stable weight
- Want permanent fat reduction with minimal downtime
You may not be a candidate if your concern is primarily loose or sagging skin, as Kybella does not tighten tissue. In that case, our aesthetic specialists may recommend pairing your treatment with skin-tightening technologies or exploring other procedures that better match your goals.
What You Can Expect During Treatment
Your appointment begins with a thorough evaluation, so our team can assess your anatomy and customize your injection pattern. Each session typically lasts 15–20 minutes. You can expect swelling afterward, especially after your first treatment, as the product begins breaking down fat. This swelling is a normal and expected part of the process.
Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions, though the total depends on how much fullness you want reduced. Because the fat cells are permanently destroyed, the results you achieve are designed to last as long as you maintain a stable weight.
Is Kybella Right for You?
Choosing the right approach for submental fullness starts with understanding whether your concern is fat, skin laxity, or a combination of both. At Cosmetic and Reconstructive Specialists of Florida, our aesthetic specialists will help you determine whether Kybella is the most effective option for your goals — and design a personalized plan to achieve natural-looking refinement.
