Kybella® is one of the best known and most popular injectable treatments for reducing submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. A double chin has a significant effect on the overall appearance of your face. Both from the front and in profile, your facial contour may look less chiselled than you’d like if you have fullness beneath your chin.
This non surgical treatment is FDA approved and works by using a synthetic version of a naturally occurring acid in the body to break down and destroy fat cells. Once those cells are eliminated, they cannot return—meaning results are long lasting. Often times Kybella requires more than one treatment and multiple vials depending on aesthetic goals.
Kybella® is a go to option for both men and women who want a sharper, more contoured jawline without surgery or downtime. With a series of quick in-office sessions, Kybella® helps restore confidence from every angle.
Jowls and Chin
Refine your profile with Kybella®—the only FDA approved injectable treatment that permanently reduces submental fullness, also known as a double chin. At Facial Aesthetics, our expert team of certified aesthetic nurse specialists and physician assistants has been delivering advanced injectable treatments since 1992. We are recognized nationally for our skill, safety, and natural-looking results.
Kybella® is made from deoxycholic acid, a molecule that occurs naturally in the body and aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected under the chin, Kybella® targets and destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. Once those cells are gone, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, making your results long lasting.
At our medical spa, we treat submental fullness, or fullness beneath the chin and along the upper neck. This concern can be caused by genetics, age, or weight fluctuations and is often resistant to diet and exercise. Kybella® is a non-surgical solution designed to contour the jawline, restore balance to the lower face, and improve overall facial definition.

After your Kybella® treatment, it’s important to follow proper aftercare instructions to maximize the effects and minimize any side effects:
Kybella® is an injectable treatment made from a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in your body. This acid works by targeting and breaking down fat cells in areas where stubborn fat has accumulated, such as under your chin. You might have heard this fat referred to as “submental fullness” or a double chin.
Kybella® is designed to permanently destroy these fat cells, leaving you with a more defined and contoured jawline. The treatment is non-surgical, making it a popular option for those looking to address excess fat without the downtime or invasiveness of traditional liposuction.
With a series of carefully administered injections, Kybella® gradually eliminates the fat, giving you noticeable, long-lasting results and helping restore confidence in your profile.
In your body, deoxycholic acid is naturally found in bile, where it helps break down dietary fat, making it easier for your body to process and dissolve. So, how does this affect the fat under your chin? Let us explain…
When Kybella’s synthetic version of deoxycholic acid is injected into the fat beneath your skin, it works just like the natural acid in your digestive system. It breaks down the fat cells. Over time, your body processes and eliminates these destroyed fat cells as waste, leaving you with a more defined and sculpted jawline.
The best part? It’s a gradual process that gives you long-lasting results without the need for surgery.
Most clients start seeing results within 1-3 months, with repeat treatments often required after one month. Maximum effects are typically visible after about six months, and those results tend to last for years.
The great thing about Kybella is that the results are often permanent. The fat cells that are destroyed and eliminated are gone for good, and your body won’t grow new fat cells. However, if you gain weight, the remaining fat cells under your chin could enlarge. Even so, studies show that most patients are still happy with their results years later.
Like all injectables and other cosmetic treatments, KYBELLA does come with a slight risk of certain side effects. Possibilities including swelling, bruising, numbness, redness and hardening of the treatment area. Our aesthetic injectors will discuss these risks with you and make sure you are fully informed. Most of these things – if they do occur – resolve themselves in a couple days.
