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 was so nervous thinking about undergoing surgery that was elective BUT I also knew how unhappy I was with my breasts after breastfeeding two kids. I am in the healthcare field and heard about Dr. Watt on multiple occasions so I knew I had to check him out. From the very first consultation, I felt comfortable and could tell Dr. Watt knew what he was doing. I am 5 weeks post op breast augmentation and I could not be happier! He knew exactly what was right for me and gave me back the confidence I needed after having two babies. 10/10 would recommend!
Very happy with results!
I didn’t know where to start with plastic surgery and what I wanted done. I did a TON of research and found Watt Plastic surgery a few years ago. I made my appointment for a consultation and first off staff was super friendly and sweet, second, everything was so clean, lastly, I felt safe. Dr. Watt answered all my questions allowed me time to decide without any pressure. After surgery, when I had questions and called the help line, Dr. Watt called me directly! ON A SUNDAY!! That’s better patient care than my kids pediatrician!! Lol! I will ALWAYS go to them with any cosmetic surgery or beauty needs (lip filler, facials, etc.) and they’re also honest. They want you to be happy with your results! I give them a 10 out of 10!!! Recommending family and friends to go!
From the moment I called to schedule a consultation to walking in for that consultation all the way to my 1 month post op appointment, I felt so much love and care from each and every single member of this team. Dr. Watt really listens to you and knows how to give you exactly what you are envisioning. He gave me the confidence I always wanted and I get compliments every single day on my new look. I will ALWAYS recommend Dr. Watt and his team for any cosmetic surgery or medspa treatments.
I cannot say enough good things about Dr.Watt and all of the amazing ladies that work at his practice. My first procedure was back in August (lipo 360) and my second a little less than a week ago (Mommy Makeover with Breast Lift, internal bra and reverse tuck). Both planned for over a year and intentionally done on seperate dates. From my consultation, to pre-op and then surgery day it has been such a warming experience. Every single person at Dr.Watts makes you feel so great about yourself during times when you may not feel that way about yourself. I would reccomend Dr. Watt and his team 1000 times over again. The results are already life changing and I can’t thank Dr.Watt and his amazing team of ladies enough! <3

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.
