Kybella® · Double Chin Treatment
Fullness under the chin is one of the few places diet and exercise routinely can’t reach — for many people it’s simply inherited. Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable that permanently dissolves submental fat, no surgery and no scalpel — administered by a physician who will first tell you honestly whether it’s right for your anatomy.

How It Works
Kybella’s active ingredient is deoxycholic acid — a synthetic version of a molecule your body naturally produces to break down dietary fat. Injected in a precise pattern under the chin, it destroys fat cells on contact. Your body then clears them naturally over the following weeks.
And because a destroyed fat cell cannot regrow, the result is permanent — the contour that emerges is yours to keep.
The only FDA-approved injectable for dissolving under-chin fat — treated in 15–20 minute sessions, no surgery, no general anesthesia.
Your Treatment Journey
01
Your physician assesses the fat, your skin’s firmness, and your neck anatomy — and tells you honestly whether Kybella will flatter your profile or whether something else would serve you better. $50 for new patients, applied in full to your treatment; complimentary for established patients.
02
A grid of small injections placed in about 15–20 minutes. Most patients need 2–4 sessions spaced at least a month apart, mapped out for you in advance — no open-ended series.
03
As swelling resolves and your body clears the treated cells, the new profile emerges over the following weeks — and because those fat cells are gone for good, the result is permanent.
Your series length and total investment are quoted at your consultation, before you commit to anything.
$50 consultation for new patients — applied in full to your treatment, refunded with 48 hours’ notice. Complimentary for established patients.
Prefer to spread your series into monthly payments? Flexible financing is available through Cherry and CareCredit, with 0% APR options for qualifying plans — see financing details or ask our team at your consultation.
Honest Medicine
Kybella works by breaking down fat cells, and your body’s response is swelling — most pronounced after the first session, sometimes lasting one to two weeks. Numbness, bruising, and temporary firmness are common too. We’ll help you schedule around photos, events, and anything you don’t want a swollen chin for.
If skin laxity, rather than fat, is what’s shaping your profile, removing volume can actually make looseness more visible. That’s exactly what the candidacy check is for — and if you’re not a good candidate, we’ll tell you so and talk through what would actually help, even when it isn’t something we sell.
The fat cells Kybella destroys never come back. But the fat cells that remain in the area can still enlarge with significant weight gain — so your result lasts best alongside a stable weight. If weight is part of the picture, our medical weight loss program can work on it with you.
The area under the chin houses the nerve that controls your smile. Injected precisely, Kybella is safe; injected carelessly, it can cause temporary smile asymmetry or trouble swallowing — uncommon, and almost always resolving, but the reason anatomy training matters. Kybella is not used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with infection at the injection site, or without review of prior neck surgery or swallowing difficulties.
Common Questions
Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable for reducing moderate-to-severe fat under the chin. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a synthetic version of a molecule your body already makes to break down fat. Injected into the submental area, it destroys fat cells — and once those cells are gone, they can’t store fat again.
Most patients need two to four sessions spaced at least a month apart, though up to six are FDA-approved. The number depends on how much fat is present and how your body responds — your physician maps out a realistic series at your consultation, before you commit to anything.
Yes — the fat cells Kybella destroys are gone for good and cannot regrow. One honest caveat: significant weight gain can enlarge the fat cells that remain in the area, so results last best alongside a stable weight.
Plan for real swelling — it’s part of how Kybella works, it’s most pronounced after the first session, and it can last one to two weeks. Numbness, bruising, and firmness in the area are also common and temporary. Most patients return to work quickly but schedule sessions away from big events and photos.
Treatment starts at $1,400 per session, with your exact series and total quoted at your consultation. The consultation is $50 for new patients, applied in full to your treatment, and refunded if you cancel with 48 hours’ notice — complimentary for established patients. Financing is available through Cherry and CareCredit.
The best candidates have moderate-to-severe fat under the chin with reasonably firm skin. If loose skin — rather than fat — is the main driver of your profile, removing volume can make laxity more visible, and an honest physician assessment will tell you that before you spend anything. Kybella isn’t used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with infection at the injection site, or without review of prior neck surgery or swallowing difficulties.
