What is KYBELLA Treatment?
KYBELLA is a medication prescribed by your doctor or plastic surgeon to eliminate excess fat beneath the chin. It’s an injection of deoxycholic acid, a molecule that occurs naturally in the human body. Deoxycholic acid assists the body with breaking down and absorbing dietary fat.
Technically referred to as submental fat and often called a “double chin” by patients, excess fat under the chin can have many causes. In some people, submental fat is present throughout their lives. For others, it only occurs in older age.
Some of the leading causes of submental fat under the chin include:
- Aging
- Weight gain
- Genetic factors
How do KYBELLA injections work?
Deoxycholic acid is a substance found in the body that helps break down fat. When injected beneath the chin, it targets and breaks down submental fat at the injection site to help the body naturally get rid of it. Once fat cells are broken down and absorbed by the body, they can no longer store fat. This process minimizes the presence of under-chin fat. Your doctor may advise multiple treatments to reach your desired results. At least one month should separate each treatment, and you shouldn’t undergo more than six treatments in total.

Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa Reviews
Dr. Watt is amazing. Incredible surgeon! I also want to say Tori Blair is a superb aesthetician. She has transformed my face and always has the best options for me. She doesn’t push what’s most expensive or not needed, she evaluates my skin each time and offers me what I need at the moment. Tori deeply cares about her patients. She is so great at her job, I could go on and on. If your looking for knowledgeable aesthetician please ask for her and let her work her magic! The whole office is awesome.
Incredibly happy with my entire experience and results with Dr. Watt. He gave me exactly what I asked for with my breast surgery and honestly even better than I could have imagined. I’m truly obsessed with my results and so thankful I found him. Also had an amazing diamond glow with Alicia, she was kind and super knowledgeable!! I highly highly recommend him and his team!!!!
Post surgery - pleased with results Dr and staff attentive and caring great explanation of what you expect. Pre surgery - amazing!! Unbelievable how caring and patient Alexa was so kind and compassionate.
I’m getting emotional just writing this as Dr Watt has changed my life! He is an amazing surgeon takes pride in his work! His staff is just as amazing and a hugh shout out to his nurse Alex, she was my rock during everything. Just an all around amazing experience. My only regret is that I should have done this 10 years ago!
I just want to take the time to personally thank Dr. Watt and his amazing staff. I knew from the moment I visited Dr. Watt’s website and read thru all his credentials, experience, and personal reviews that he was the surgeon for me. I spent a lot of time and effort researching surgeons and when I met and had my consult with Dr. Watt my experience from start to finish has been beyond my expectations and my surgery results are absolutely perfect! I’m blown away by the outcome of my results and I am only 5 weeks post surgery, I barely have any scars which was and is completely unexpected. I’m so excited to see the final results as the healing continues and the subtle changes take effects in the months ahead. Thank you again Dr. Watt for your personalized expertise and for taking the time to attentively listen to all my wants and expectations. You are truly a master at your craft! I recommend anyone who is considering breast surgery of any kind to consult with Dr. Watt so you too can get the results of your dreams! Thank you to all the amazing women in your practice also who made my experience just as equally special. Each and every person I interacted with from office staff, nurses, and anesthesiologists were kind, sensitive, and professional. A genuinely special group of humans you all are! I had a truly AMAZING experience from start to finish and I won’t forget it! 😊❤️🥰

About UsKYBELLA® FAQs
How does KYBELLA work?
Deoxycholic acid, the active ingredient in KYBELLA, works to break down and destroy fat cells in the submental area. After the fat cells are eliminated, these cells cannot regenerate. Therefore, additional treatments shouldn't be necessary as soon as you have reached your desired outcome. However, the remaining cells can still grow in size, that is why it's important to maintain a healthy weight to preserve your results.
Can KYBELLA be used to treat other areas of the body?
No, it cannot. Currently, KYBELLA may only be used to treat the area below the chin to effectively reduce the appearance of a double chin. KYBELLA hasn't been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for any other areas of the face or body.
Am I eligible for a KYBELLA treatment?
There are a few factors that could make you ineligible to receive a KYBELLA treatment. You must be at least 18 years old, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you should not have any infection in or around the treatment site. Before your treatment begins, you are encouraged to be open about your medical history and health concerns with your injector so that they can determine if you may be at risk for an adverse reaction from the treatment.
How many treatment sessions will I need?
In your initial consultation, a customized treatment plan will be developed to address your needs and cosmetic goals. Usually, patients receive between two and four KYBELLA treatments before achieving their goals. KYBELLA appointments must also be spaced about 30 days apart. You should not get any more than six injections in total.
