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. ALEXANDRA GIRARDOT, D.O. Was amazing along with the staff… through all my set backs… I couldn’t be happier.
Best of the best! I had surgery with Dr. Watt, Dr. G did my earlobe repair & I am thrilled with my results. The staff from the second you walk in to when you leave is exceptional. 10/10 recommend to anybody.
Watt Plastic Surgery is the best! During my consult, surgery, and follow up appointments the whole team was very caring and informative! Between researching all the plastic surgeons in the greater Tampa Bay area and my actual care/results I know I was in the best hands! Thank you Dr. Watt and team!
I have been to Watt Plastic surgery for a number of different things and all my experiences with the providers have been amazing. Dr. Watt did my breast augmentation and I couldn’t be more happy with the results. He listened to all my concerns and made sure we were both on the same page throughout the entire process! I also went to Jaime for lip filler and she gave me the exact natural results I was looking for! Jaime also recommended I see Alicia for a Moxi treatment for some scars I had and after 2 treatments my skin is looking brand new! I am so thankful for the team at Watt Plastic Surgery for making me look and feel my best :)
I'm a WPS girl forever! It's my one-stop shop for all things beauty. I had a breast lift and scar revision with Dr. Watt, and now I exclusively go to his office for Botox, Sculptra, filler, and laser hair removal. From the moment I walked into the office for my surgery, I felt like I was already part of the family. Dr. Watt and his incredible staff made me feel so comfortable and cared for every step of the way.I also see Jess for all things face--I've been going to her for six years now! She's amazing, conservative, and always knows exactly what I need to achieve a natural, refreshed look. For laser hair removal, I see Yolanda, who is equally incredible. She makes me feel so comfortable, and we just chat about life during my appointments.After three horrible experiences elsewhere, I had lost hope--until I found Dr. Watt and his team. I am forever grateful for them. He changed my life, and I finally love my breasts again. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my beauty needs. I wish you could give more than 5 stars in a review!

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.
