A well-defined jawline is often associated with youth, attractiveness, and confidence. However, many people struggle with submental fullness—commonly known as a double chin—regardless of their age or weight. This stubborn fat under the chin can be caused by genetics, aging, or weight gain, and it often resists diet and exercise.
Fortunately, Kybella offers a non-surgical solution to eliminate excess fat under the chin and sculpt a more contoured jawline. At Valencia Medical Center, we provide Kybella treatments for both men and women who want to achieve a slimmer, more defined profile without surgery.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to permanently eliminate fat cells under the chin. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the submental area (under the chin), Kybella targets and destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time.
Once these fat cells are removed, they do not return, making Kybella a long-lasting solution for reducing a double chin.
Why Choose Kybella for Double Chin Reduction?
✅ Non-Surgical & Minimally Invasive
Unlike liposuction or neck lifts, Kybella requires no incisions, no anesthesia, and no downtime, making it an attractive option for those who want a quick and effective solution.
✅ Permanent Results
Once Kybella destroys fat cells, they do not regenerate. With the right diet and lifestyle, results can be maintained permanently.
✅ Customizable Treatment
Every patient’s chin and jawline are unique. Our specialists at Valencia Medical Center customize your Kybella treatment plan based on your aesthetic goals and the amount of fat being targeted.
✅ Boosts Confidence
A defined jawline can enhance facial harmony and give both men and women a more youthful, sculpted appearance. Many patients report feeling more confident after their treatment.
Who is a Good Candidate for Kybella?
✔️ Individuals with mild to moderate submental fat (double chin)
✔️ Those who want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction
✔️ People who maintain a healthy lifestyle but struggle with stubborn fat under the chin
✔️ Men and women seeking a more contoured and youthful jawline
✔️ Patients with good skin elasticity to allow for proper tightening post-treatment
If you have loose or sagging skin rather than excess fat under your chin, our experts at Valencia Medical Center can recommend alternative treatments such as skin tightening procedures to achieve your desired results.
What to Expect During Kybella Treatment
1️⃣ Consultation – Your journey begins with a consultation at Valencia Medical Center, where our specialists assess your chin and jawline and discuss your aesthetic goals.
2️⃣ Treatment Plan – Based on your needs, we determine the number of Kybella injections required. Most patients need 2-4 sessions, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, for optimal results.
3️⃣ The Injection Process – A topical numbing agent is applied to minimize discomfort. The Kybella solution is then injected into precise areas under the chin. The procedure takes about 15-20 minutes.
4️⃣ Post-Treatment Recovery – Some mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur, which typically subsides within a few days to a week. There is no required downtime, and most patients can return to normal activities shortly after.
5️⃣ Final Results – Over the next 4-6 weeks, your body will naturally break down and eliminate the fat cells, revealing a more sculpted and defined jawline.
Comprehensive Q&A About Kybella
❓ How many Kybella treatments will I need?
Most patients require 2 to 4 sessions, with each session spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. However, the exact number of treatments varies based on the amount of fat and your desired results.
❓ How soon will I see results?
While some patients notice improvement after one session, the most dramatic results typically appear after 2-3 months, as the body gradually eliminates the destroyed fat cells.
❓ Is Kybella painful?
Most patients report mild discomfort during the injections, but a numbing cream is applied to minimize any pain. After treatment, you may feel some mild swelling or tenderness, which resolves within a few days.
❓ Are there any side effects?
The most common side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, and temporary numbness under the chin. These side effects are generally mild and resolve within a week.
❓ How long do Kybella results last?
The results of Kybella are permanent as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle. Since fat cells are destroyed, they do not return. However, significant weight gain may cause remaining fat cells to expand.
❓ Can men get Kybella?
Absolutely! Kybella is an excellent treatment for both men and women who want to achieve a chiseled jawline and get rid of stubborn chin fat.
❓ Is Kybella better than liposuction for a double chin?
Both Kybella and liposuction are effective. Kybella is a great non-surgical alternative for those who want to avoid anesthesia and downtime. However, if you have a large amount of excess fat, liposuction might provide faster results. Our team at Valencia Medical Center can help determine the best option for you.
❓ How much does Kybella cost?
The cost of Kybella varies depending on the number of sessions required and your treatment plan. During your consultation at Valencia Medical Center, we will provide personalized pricing and discuss financing options.
❓ Can Kybella be combined with other treatments?
Yes! Many patients choose to combine Kybella with skin tightening treatments or fillers to enhance their jawline contour further.
