What is Kybella?
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to eliminate submental fat—the stubborn fat beneath the chin commonly known as a "double chin." The active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella permanently destroys fat cells. Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, providing long-lasting results. Most patients require 2-4 treatment sessions spaced at least one month apart to achieve optimal contouring and definition.
Dr. Kim uses a precise grid technique to ensure even distribution of Kybella across the treatment area. The number of injections and vials needed depends on the amount of submental fat and your aesthetic goals. During your consultation, Dr. Kim will assess your neck profile, skin elasticity, and overall facial anatomy to create a customized treatment plan.
