It has been some time since my last visit to Jacksonville Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery. I was extremely impressed with my past visits. The practice has added new members and continues with the excellent and personal service with the patient. Very happy with the experience. Would like to see the addition of Mohs and IG-SRT.

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to target and eliminate fat beneath the chin. Its active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down and absorbs dietary fat.

When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells. The body metabolizes and eliminates these cells over several weeks. Once the fat cells are gone, they do not return, making this a permanent solution for many patients.

Why Do People Choose Kybella in Jacksonville?

People often prefer non-invasive treatments that offer real results without downtime. Here’s why Kybella is so popular among our Jacksonville patients:

• No surgery – no scalpels, sutures, or scars
• Minimal downtime – most return to normal activities within a few days
• Gradual, natural-looking results
• Customizable treatment plans
• Long-lasting results – once fat cells are gone, they don’t come back

What to Expect During Your Kybella Treatment

1. Your Consultation

Every treatment at Jacksonville Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery begins with a personalized consultation. During this visit, your provider will:

• Assess your chin and jawline
• Review your medical history
• Discuss your aesthetic goals
• Determine if Kybella is the best fit for you

If you’re a candidate, we’ll create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

2. The Procedure

On treatment day, here’s what you can expect:

• We’ll numb the area under your chin with a topical anesthetic for comfort.
• Using a specially marked injection grid, we’ll carefully administer multiple small injections of Kybella under the chin.
• The process takes 15–20 minutes.

After the session, you can drive yourself home and resume most activities.

3. Aftercare & Recovery

Some mild swelling, bruising, or numbness is expected and normal. Swelling typically peaks around 24–48 hours after treatment and gradually subsides.

Tips to ease recovery:

• Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
• Avoid vigorous exercise for 1–2 days
• Sleep with your head elevated the first night

Most patients return to work or social activities within 2–3 days.

How Many Kybella Treatments Will I Need?

The number of treatments depends on the amount of fat and your desired outcome. On average, most patients need 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Each session builds on the last, gradually contouring and slimming the jawline. You’ll start noticing visible results after your second treatment, with continued improvement over several months.

Is Kybella Right for You?

Kybella is ideal for patients who:

• Are bothered by moderate to severe fat under the chin
• Want a non-surgical solution
• Are in good general health
• Have firm skin and realistic expectations

Kybella is not a weight-loss treatment, and it’s best for localized fat. If you have significant loose skin or want broader facial sculpting, we may recommend combining Kybella with other cosmetic treatments.

Why Choose Jacksonville Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery?

We’re not a med spa—we’re a physician-led practice that combines dermatology expertise with an eye for aesthetics. Our providers are experienced in facial anatomy and injectables, ensuring your Kybella treatment is safe and effective.
