Kybella is a breakthrough injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fullness, an area often called a double chin. These simple injections reduce the fat under your chin without surgery or downtime.
Kybella permanently destroys fat cells beneath your chin for a sleeker, more defined profile. Treatments are quick, customized to your anatomy, and deliver gradual, natural-looking results over time. With Kybella in Southlake, you can achieve a sharper jawline and renewed confidence without invasive procedures.
Kybella® is the first FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing submental fat, also known as fat under your chin. The treatment uses synthetic deoxycholic acid, a bile acid derivative.
When injected into the subcutaneous fat layer beneath the chin, the active ingredient disrupts adipocyte membranes, causing cell lysis. In other words, it breaks the membranes and destroys the fat cells. Fat cells are then processed through your body’s natural metabolic and lymphatic systems.
Once fat cells are eliminated, they cannot store or accumulate fat again. A stronger, leaner chin is an excellent reason why a Kybella treatment sessions in Southlake could be just what you need!
Your nurse injector will map the targeted injection zone beneath the chin, often using a one-centimeter grid pattern to ensure systematic delivery of small volumes of Kybella.
Before beginning the injection series, you will receive a topical or local anesthetic. Kybella is injected using multiple, fine-needle injections into the submental fat pad, with a typical treatment session lasting roughly 15 to 20 minutes.
The number of injections and the total dose are calibrated to your submental fat volume and jawline anatomy. You may receive up to six treatment sessions, at least one per month, to achieve optimal results.
Typically, you can manage your recovery after Kybella injections with little to no downtime. However, we have some handy tips that can help maximize your outcomes!
Immediately after your Kybella treatment in Southlake, you may experience swelling, bruising, numbness, or firmness under the chin. These are common side effects from the injections and typically go away within the first 11 days.
In the first hour after your treatment session, placing a cold compress or ice pack on the treated area helps reduce discomfort and swelling. You should elevate your head when sleeping for the first several nights to minimize fluid accumulation in the treatment zone.
We urge you to avoid vigorous neck movements, major exertion, or heavy exercise for 24 to 48 hours to minimize swelling. Ask your esthetician about using a mild analgesic, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol). However, you should avoid anti-inflammatories or blood-thinning supplements.
Results unfold gradually over several weeks as your body metabolizes the disrupted fat and remodeling occurs. You may need follow-up treatments to reach the profile you desire.
Whether you require one session or a few, we tailor the Kybella injection map, dose, and follow-up schedule to your anatomical structure and aesthetic goals.
