Kybella®:

Patients frequently ask what they can expect the first time they are treated with Kybella®.

Kybella is a naturally occuring enzyme (deoxycholic acid) indicated for improvement of the appearance of moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat in adults.

It is injected below the chin to destry fat cells that contribute to "double chin."

/

A single treatment consists of between 20 and 50 small injections below the chin one centimeter apart. Up to six treatments may be administered at intervals no less than one month apart. Since fat cells are destroyed in the process, the treatments should not need to be repeated once a desired outcome is achieved.

Kybella should not be used on patients with excessive skin laxity (turkey neck).

Three out of four patients will experience bruising and swelling of the tissue under the chin after treatment with Kybella. This must be understood and planned for relative to timing of treatment before a planned event. (Wedding, Holiday Party, Beach Trip, etc.)
