Excess fat under the chin can be stubborn, even with a healthy diet and exercise. This fat, known as submental fat, can create the appearance of a double chin, making the face look less contoured. Kybella is a non-surgical, FDA-approved treatment that permanently dissolves fat cells under the chin, helping to refine and enhance your profile.
At Advanced Body and Laser Center (ABLC) in Visalia, we offer Kybella to help patients achieve a slimmer, more sculpted jawline without surgery. If you want to reduce unwanted chin fat and improve facial definition, Kybella could be the perfect solution.
Kybella is a non-invasive injectable treatment designed to reduce fat beneath the chin. It uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid to break down fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. This treatment provides a permanent solution for submental fat without the need for liposuction or surgery.
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that targets and dissolves unwanted fat under the chin. It contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down dietary fat in the body. When injected into the submental area, Kybella effectively destroys fat cells, which are then metabolized and removed through the body’s natural processes. Once these fat cells are gone, they cannot store fat again, making Kybella a long-term solution for double chin reduction.
Kybella works by breaking down and absorbing fat cells in the treated area. When injected beneath the chin, it disrupts the membrane of fat cells, causing them to dissolve. Over time, the body naturally flushes out these destroyed fat cells, leading to a gradual slimming effect in the submental region.
Most patients see visible improvements after two to four treatments, but some may need up to six sessions for optimal results. The best part? Once the fat cells are eliminated, they do not return, making the results permanent with a stable weight.
Kybella is primarily used to treat submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. However, it may also be used off-label to target small pockets of fat in other areas of the body, such as:
Jawline contouring: Improves definition along the jawline.
Jowls: Reduces excess fat for a firmer lower face.
Small fat pockets: Some providers use Kybella to treat areas like bra bulges or fat under the arms.
At ABLC, we offer Kybella to patients looking for a non-surgical solution to stubborn chin fat. Our skilled providers customize each treatment plan based on your unique facial anatomy and goals, ensuring natural-looking and balanced results.
Kybella is most commonly used to treat:
Double Chin (Submental Fat): The primary FDA-approved use of Kybella.
Jawline Definition: Creates a more sculpted and contoured jawline.
Jowls: Helps reduce fat in the lower face for a firmer appearance.
Kybella is a great option for individuals looking to reduce stubborn fat beneath the chin without surgery. However, not everyone is an ideal candidate.
Kybella is best for:
1.) Adults with mild to moderate submental fat who want a more sculpted jawline.
2.) Those with good skin elasticity ensuring the skin tightens after fat loss.
3.) People seeking a non-surgical alternative to liposuction or other fat-reduction procedures.
4.) Individuals at or near their ideal weight who struggle with localized fat beneath the chin.
Kybella may not be suitable for:
1.) Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals due to lack of safety data.
2.) People with loose or sagging skin, as fat reduction could worsen laxity.
3.) Patients with an active infection in the treatment area.
4.) Individuals with a history of difficulty swallowing or bleeding disorders should consult their doctor before treatment.

On the day of your appointment, the treatment area will be cleansed and marked to ensure precise injection placement. A topical numbing cream or ice pack may be applied for comfort.

After treatment, mild swelling, redness, or numbness in the area is common and may last a few days. Swelling is a normal part of the process, as the body is breaking down and eliminating fat cells. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
