If you’ve been struggling with stubborn fat beneath your chin, also known as submental fullness or a “double chin,” Kybella offers a non-surgical solution to eliminate that fat for good. This FDA-approved injectable treatment is specifically designed to target and destroy fat cells under the chin, providing a slimmer, more defined jawline without the need for surgery. At LaBella Skin Aesthetics, we offer Kybella to help you achieve a contoured, youthful appearance with minimal downtime. In this blog post, we’ll explore what Kybella is, how it works, and the incredible benefits it offers for eliminating unwanted chin fat.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an injectable treatment that uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the submental area (the area beneath the chin), Kybella destroys fat cells, permanently reducing fullness and creating a slimmer, more sculpted chin and jawline.
Unlike surgical procedures like liposuction, Kybella is non-invasive and requires no incisions or anesthesia, making it an ideal option for clients looking to reduce chin fat without undergoing surgery.
How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella works by injecting synthetic deoxycholic acid into the targeted area beneath the chin. This acid breaks down and destroys fat cells in the treatment area, preventing them from storing or accumulating fat in the future. Once the fat cells are destroyed, the body naturally processes and eliminates them, resulting in a noticeable reduction in chin fullness.
Because Kybella permanently destroys fat cells, the results are long-lasting, and most clients do not require additional treatments once their desired results are achieved. However, the number of treatments needed varies from person to person, depending on the amount of fat under the chin and the desired outcome.

Benefits of Kybella for Reducing Chin Fat
Kybella offers a range of benefits for clients looking to improve their profile and eliminate stubborn fat beneath the chin:
Non-surgical and minimally invasive: Kybella is an injectable treatment, meaning there are no incisions, stitches, or anesthesia required, making it a much less invasive option than surgical alternatives.
Permanent results: Once Kybella destroys the fat cells under the chin, they cannot regenerate. This means the results are permanent, as long as you maintain a stable weight.
Minimal downtime: Kybella treatments involve little to no downtime, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. Most clients experience mild swelling or redness after treatment, but these effects typically subside within a few days.
Customized treatments: The number of Kybella treatments needed varies depending on the individual. Our team at LaBella Skin Aesthetics will create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve your desired results.
Enhanced jawline definition: By eliminating fat under the chin, Kybella can help create a more contoured, defined jawline, improving your overall facial profile.
What Can You Expect During a Kybella Treatment?
At LaBella Skin Aesthetics, your Kybella treatment will begin with a consultation to assess your needs and develop a personalized treatment plan. During the procedure, your provider will cleanse the treatment area and mark the precise injection points under your chin.
The actual injection process is quick, usually taking about 15-20 minutes. A series of small injections will be made into the fat beneath the chin. You may feel a slight burning or tingling sensation as the deoxycholic acid begins to break down the fat cells.
After your treatment, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated area, but these effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. Most clients are able to return to their normal activities within a day or two.
How Many Kybella Treatments Will You Need?
The number of Kybella treatments required varies depending on the amount of fat under the chin and your desired results. Most clients see noticeable improvement after 2-4 treatment sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. In some cases, up to six treatments may be needed to achieve the desired level of fat reduction.
Each treatment session will progressively reduce the amount of fat under the chin, and once the desired results are achieved, no further treatments are needed, as Kybella provides permanent fat reduction.
Is Kybella Right for You?
Kybella is an excellent option for individuals who are bothered by excess fat under the chin and want a non-surgical solution. It’s particularly suitable for those who have not been able to reduce their double chin through diet and exercise alone.
If you’re in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have moderate to severe submental fullness, Kybella could be the perfect solution for achieving a more contoured, defined jawline. At LaBella Skin Aesthetics, we’ll work with you to determine if Kybella is right for you and create a treatment plan tailored to your goals.
