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 and his staff are the best. You will get world class services from every member of the team. He provide clear and realistic expectations of the procedures to ensure your results are exactly what you want. Dr Watt and his staff are very attentive and responsive to ensure you are supported from start to finish.
I would like to write a review for Meghan Murphy, PA and Cassy B, MA for being incredibly knowledgeable, gentle, caring and kind! Meghan has given me Botox in my forehead area, dissolved my lip filler that I had previously done by someone else… then today she filled my lips again and I couldn’t be more happy with the results and also happy that I found an injector I trust. Meghan, Cassy and everyone at Watt Plastic Surgery is great with 10/10 bedside manner and customer service. Very pleased!
First and foremost, I would give Dr. Watt more than 5 stars if possible. Pre-kids, my breasts were full, perky, and I liked the way they looked. After having children/breastfeeding/pumping, my breast shrank in size and looked deflated. I knew I wanted to have breast augmentation but was nervous that I wouldn’t find the right surgeon to attain the look I wanted. I found Dr. Watt through Lauren West and so happy I did. I looked at the photos on Instagram and his website and knew that he could achieve the look I wanted. I was fortunate to schedule a consultation and even more fortunate that my consultation was moved up. After meeting Dr. Watt and his staff, it was an easy decision to move forward. I had my surgery and was back to work in 3 days. Surgery was quick, post-op relatively painless, and already have seen amazing results 4 weeks post-op. I have referred all of my friends to Dr. Watt and highly recommend for anyone considering breast augmentation. I’m so happy with the result: natural looking, larger breasts that make my body look more proportional.
Worth the wait! I couldn’t be happier with my results or my experience with Dr. Watt and his team. Dr. Watt and his team were incredibly friendly and accommodating from pre op to post op, always answering any questions I had. I plan to return to them for any future procedures! So thankful for such a positive experience and new found confidence thanks to Dr. Watt!
Loved Dr. Watt and his staff. Results are perfect.

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.
