Kybella (Deoxycholic Acid Injections)
Permanently dissolve submental fat without surgery
Kybella (deoxycholic acid) is the only injectable approved to permanently reduce submental fat — the double chin. Each injection session destroys fat cells beneath the chin, and once eliminated, those cells cannot store fat again. Most patients achieve their desired contour in 2–4 sessions.
Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected precisely into submental fat, it destroys the membrane of fat cells permanently. The result is a progressively slimmer chin and jawline profile over 4–6 weeks per session.

How many Kybella sessions will I need?
Most patients see satisfactory results in 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Up to 6 sessions can be performed for more significant submental fullness.
