At Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Tampa, FL we offer Kybella as an advanced treatment for excess fat beneath the chin. Learn more about the benefits of this treatment below.
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. Reach out to our Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa team to learn more about this injectable treatment.
Watt Plastic Surgery & Med Spa Reviews
I had my breast augmentation in December 2025 by Dr Watts, and I genuinely couldn’t be happier with my results! My breasts have healed beautifully. My confidence has absolutely soared, and I finally feel comfortable wearing certain clothes and feel feminine and put together for the first time. It’s amazing what a nice set of boobies can do for a girl lolAfter losing around 50 pounds, I finally decided to do something I had wanted since I was a little girl. All my friends seemed to develop breasts growing up, and I never did. Even when I gained weight, they never really grew. I went from a sad little A cup to a D cup after surgery and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the outcome!Beyond my results, the entire team was incredible. The doctors, anesthesiologists, nurses, and everyone else involved made this such a positive experience. I’m so grateful I chose this practice and would absolutely recommend them to anyone considering breast augmentation. Thank you for helping me feel more confident and beautiful in my own skin! 💕
I had my breast augmentation with Dr.Girardot and could not have imagined a better experience.The whole staff at Watt has been so nice throughout the whole process and made me feel so comfortable. My results came out amazing, Dr.Girardot really has a way of choosing the perfect implant. I came in with a few pictures and trusted her to make the best choice for my body and I feel amazing!! I couldn’t be any happier!
I was very skeptical about getting breast augmentation because my biggest fear was that my breasts would look unnatural. I had wanted to have the surgery for years, but I was always too afraid to actually go through with it.Then my best friend found Dr. Watt after hearing so many great things about him. She had her surgery with him first, loved her results, and eventually convinced me to finally do it too. I’m SO glad I did!It’s been 5 months now, and my breasts look incredibly natural. I was already getting compliments after just one month, and my husband is completely obsessed with the results. 😂 Most importantly, I feel like they fit my body perfectly and don’t have that obvious “implant” look that I was so afraid of.The entire team was wonderful. I absolutely loved my anesthesiologist and nurse, and Dr. Watt is seriously a magician. I felt well informed about what to expect throughout the entire process. I won’t say the recovery was easy—the first two weeks were definitely the hardest—but everything I experienced was within what I had been told to expect.If you’re considering breast augmentation but are nervous like I was, I can’t recommend Dr. Watt enough. I only wish I had done mine sooner!
Dr Girardot is amazing . I met her following another surgical consult that didn’t go as planned. She listened to my concerns and what my goals were and executed perfectly. She explained everything along the way, was very easy to communicate with, and called me following surgery and during my post op recovery to check in on me. I can’t recommend her and her team enough. I am very happy with my outcome and the overall process from her team. Thank you all
I am truly impressed with Dr. Watt and his entire team. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the professionalism, warmth, and genuinely positive culture of the practice.Today, Nurse Practitioner Alex expertly administered my Botox with exceptional attention to detail. She was not only highly skilled, but also took the time to ensure I was comfortable, understood the treatment, and completely satisfied with the results. She made the entire experience enjoyable.A couple of weeks ago, NP Morgan performed my Halo laser treatment, and I was equally impressed. Her expertise, thoughtful approach, and personalized guidance made me feel incredibly well cared for throughout the process.It is clear that Dr. Watts has built a team of experts, talented professionals who genuinely care about their patients and take pride in what they do. I highly recommend this practice to anyone considering cosmetic treatments. Outstanding professionals, exceptional care, and a truly positive experience. Kudos to Dr. Watts and his team!

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.
