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. Girardot is the absolute best! From the consultation to many months post-op she has been there through every step. I truly am going to miss seeing her and her team on a regular basis. They are all so caring. I cannot say enough great things about Watt Plastic Surgery.
The best surgeon in Tampa! I had been looking for a good surgeon for years and I was afraid to have surgery but when I went to Dr. Watts my worries went away. He is super professional. The staff at the clinic is excellent. All the girls are super friendly and helped me a lot with all my questions. The nurses and the anesthesiologist are excellent. Super friendly too and they always explained everything to me in detail. They also had a nurse who spoke Spanish and explained everything in detail to my family. So if you are afraid of the language it doesn't matter because they will find a way to communicate. Lastly, I want to say that I loved my results. The recovery was super fast. I went for an areola reduction and breast augmentation. It wasn't expensive at all and I loved my results.
I cannot say enough about Dr. Watts and his team through my journey . My results are amazing and he gave me exactly the vision I was looking for. My husband and I had visited three other surgeons before we chose Dr. Watts. I had a tummy tuck, breast lift and implants with minor lipo. I traveled all the way to Miami to see a surgeon before Dr. Watts and the experience was horrible. I felt like I was just another number and yes it was cheaper but I did not feel comfortable with the quality of care . Ladies choose Dr. Watts you will not be disappointed best results and personal care . Thank you Dr. Watts - Tanya Houser

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.
