Reduce your double chin without surgery. Kybella targets and removes stubborn fat under the chin with lasting results. Contact us today to schedule.
A double chin, also known as submental fullness, can be a persistent concern for many individuals. It may be related to genetics, weight fluctuations, or natural aging. At Jacksonville Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery (JDC), we offer Kybella, a non-surgical injectable treatment that helps reduce fat beneath the chin and improve jawline definition—with no need for surgery.
🧪 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:

🔁 How Many Sessions Will I Need?
