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
I’m very happy that I found Watt Plastic Surgery and Dr. G.I felt very comfortable with Dr. G during consultation and decided to move forward with my mommy make over. Everything went well and I love my results. Dr. G and staff truly listen and care for you and your well being. I never felt rush during any of my visits and they always made sure to answer all of my questions.
If I could choose more than 5 stars I would! I had a lift done with an implant and c section scar revision back in May and from consultation to surgery to post op appointments I have felt so supportive and comfortable. I was never really sure about what I wanted but knew I wanted my breasts fixed after breastfeeding for four years. Dr. Watt was so kind and knowledgeable and helped guide me through the entire process. I fully trusted his expertise to give me the results that I was looking for and he did exactly that. I had some inspiration photos and at my 3 month post op I look exactly how I envisioned. Everything is perfect. The nurses are so communicative and helpful with pre and post surgery questions and never made me feel like a burden when I asked. Everyone is just incredibly nice there. In a place where you’re pretty vulnerable, I never once felt uncomfortable and didn’t feel like I was just another patient. Dr. Watt took his time with me figuring out what I wanted my end results to be and never felt pressured.Worth the money spent, worth the time waiting to get in 1000% I cannot recommend enough!
Dr. Watt and his team were amazing! They educated me on what was the best option for my body and were available for every question I had, pre-op and post-op. I highly recommend Watt Plastic Surgery!
I had been considering a breast lift and augmentation for years, but it's a big decision and I never felt quite ready. After my consultation with Dr. Watt, I immediately felt comfortable, supported, and completely confident in moving forward. I scheduled my surgery shortly afterward, and it was one of the best decisions I've made.I am absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out. The surgery, the recovery, and the final outcome couldn't have gone better. Everything was seamless from start to finish. After years of not feeling completely happy with my breasts, I finally feel confident and love the way they look.I'm also incredibly impressed with the entire Watt team and the environment they've created. Everyone is professional, kind, welcoming, and genuinely invested in making patients feel comfortable. There's a reason I'm in the office so often!I can't recommend Dr. Watt and his team highly enough.
Such an amazing staff. I split my lip and Watt managed to fit me into their busy schedule the same day. The facility is so clean and beautiful. Everyone was so nice and caring. Would definitely go back.

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.
