Kybella: The Non-Surgical Way to Eliminate a Double Chin

🧪 What Is Kybella and How Does It Work?

Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable designed to reduce moderate to severe fat below the chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down dietary fat.

When Kybella is injected directly into the fat beneath the chin, it permanently destroys fat cells, resulting in a visibly slimmer and more contoured jawline.

Once the fat cells are gone, they cannot store fat again—making the results long-lasting.

📍 Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella?

You’re likely a good candidate if you:

• Have persistent submental fat (double chin) that doesn’t go away with diet or exercise
• Prefer a non-surgical option with minimal downtime
• Are over 18 and in generally good health
• Want natural-looking results over time

🔍 At Jacksonville Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, your Kybella consultation includes a personalized facial analysis by a board-certified provider to ensure the treatment is right for you.

📆 What to Expect During and After the Procedure

💉 During Treatment:

• A topical numbing agent is applied
• Small injections are made under the chin in a precise grid pattern
• The session takes around 20–30 minutes

⏳ After Treatment:

• Swelling is normal and can last 3–7 days (this is the product working)
• Mild bruising, numbness, or redness may occur
• Most patients return to normal activities the next day

🔁 How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Kybella is customized to your anatomy and goals.

• Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions
• Each session is spaced 4–6 weeks apart
