Kybella at a Glance

  • What It Targets: Stubborn submental fat (a.k.a. double chin)
  • Treatment Type: Quick, minimally invasive injectable
  • Comfort Level: Numbing agents make it virtually painless
  • Why It’s Loved: No surgery, no scars, and permanent results
  • Downtime: Minimal—most patients are back to their routine the same day

What is Kybella?

If you’ve been feeling self-conscious about your profile or jawline, Kybella might be exactly what you’ve been looking for. This game-changing injectable treatment uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body, to break down and absorb fat cells. Once these fat cells are eliminated, they’re gone for good—leaving you with a smoother, more contoured look. Think of it as the ultimate shortcut to defining your jawline, all without the need for surgery or extended downtime.

What issues does Kybella address?

A double chin isn’t always about weight—it’s often due to genetics, aging, or stubborn fat that won’t budge. Kybella is specifically designed to target:

  • Submental Fat: The fat pocket beneath your chin
  • Lack of Jawline Definition: By removing excess fat, Kybella enhances facial contours
  • Non-Surgical Alternatives: It’s perfect for those who want noticeable results without going under the knife

Benefits of Kybella

Kybella is more than just a cosmetic treatment—it’s a confidence booster. Here’s why patients love it:

  • Permanent Fat Loss: Once those fat cells are gone, they’re not coming back.
  • No Surgery Needed: Say goodbye to invasive procedures and hello to injectables.
  • Convenient: Treatments take as little as 15–30 minutes.
  • No Downtime: Go about your day right after your appointment.
  • Enhanced Confidence: A more sculpted profile can do wonders for your self-esteem.

Am I a Candidate for Kybella?

If you’re looking for a non-surgical way to address stubborn fat beneath the chin—commonly called a double chin—you might be the perfect candidate for Kybella. This FDA-approved injectable treatment is designed for adults who want to enhance their jawline and achieve a more sculpted profile.

For the safest and most effective results, it’s important to share your full medical history with your provider. Be sure to mention:

  • Any past or planned surgeries on your face, neck, or chin
  • Cosmetic treatments you’ve had in the same areas
  • Medical conditions near your neck or jaw, including trouble swallowing
  • Bleeding disorders or medications that affect blood clotting
  • Whether you’re pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding

Your safety is our priority, so we’ll work together to determine if Kybella aligns with your goals and health needs.

What Are the Possible Side Effects of Kybella?

Like any cosmetic treatment, Kybella comes with potential side effects, but most are mild and temporary. Common reactions include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, or firmness in the treatment area—these usually subside within a few days. Although rare, more serious side effects like trouble swallowing or nerve injury in the jaw (which could lead to an uneven smile or muscle weakness) can occur. Rest assured, when administered by an experienced provider like Dr. Steven Bloch, the risk of complications is minimized.

Kybella Consultation and Preparation

Your journey with Kybella starts with a one-on-one consultation at Body by Bloch. During this time, Dr. Bloch will carefully evaluate your concerns, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a customized treatment plan tailored just for you. Preparation is easy: avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin or fish oil for a week before your appointment to minimize bruising. Otherwise, it’s smooth sailing.

Kybella Procedure

The beauty of Kybella is its simplicity. After applying a numbing agent to ensure your comfort, Dr. Bloch will inject the treatment area with Kybella using a fine needle. The entire process takes around 15–30 minutes. Depending on your goals, you may need a series of treatments spaced about a month apart to achieve optimal results.

Kybella Recovery

One of the many perks of Kybella is the lack of downtime. While you might experience mild swelling, redness, or tenderness, these side effects typically resolve within a few days. You can easily fit a Kybella appointment into your busy schedule—there’s no need to put your life on hold.

Kybella Results

Results don’t just happen overnight, but they’re worth the wait. Most patients notice a visible improvement four to six weeks after their first session, with final results emerging after completing the full treatment plan. Best of all, the fat cells destroyed by Kybella are gone permanently, giving you long-lasting results as long as you maintain a stable weight.

Kybella Aftercare

Want to keep your newly contoured look for years to come? Follow these simple tips:

  • Maintain a healthy diet and stable weight
  • Stay hydrated to reduce swelling post-treatment
  • Avoid excessive salt or alcohol immediately after your session

Dr. Bloch will provide personalized guidance to help you enjoy your results for as long as possible.
