It can be a problem area where diet and exercise can’t help, even in those that are in otherwise good shape with little fat elsewhere on their body. This can be due to a prior history of loss and gain weight, or other causes that predispose patients like genetics, the natural aging process, jaw size, and their natural neck anatomy.

What is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment made up of something called deoxycholic acid. It is identical to a natural acid that the body uses to break down dietary fat in the treatment area. This makes it a perfect cosmetic treatment plan for dissolving unwanted or stubborn submental fat.

Treatment with Kybella

Kybella is an injectable treatment used in the office setting. It requires little prep or time to perform and consists of several small injections for 30 minutes. You may feel a slight stinging sensation at the injection site, but most patients do not require any anesthetic. However, a topical or local anesthetic is available for those who would like to feel more comfortable during the procedure.

Dr. Thompson is very professional, nice and knowledgeable. He will answer all of your questions, and provide you with the best course of action. Highly recommend!

Faqs About Kybella

Are results permanent? 

This is one of the main benefits of Kybella: the results are permanent. The destroyed fat cells that are treated by Kybella do not grow back. However, it is normal for a few fat cells to remain in the area and, if a patient regains weight, there is a risk that those cells will become larger and contribute to a fuller chin.

How many treatments will be required?

Each person is unique. Therefore, each person will require different amounts of injectables to achieve the desired result. Dr. Thompson has specialized training in facial plastic surgery and always strives for natural-appearing outcomes without unwanted complications. It’s important not to be overly aggressive with the treatment to avoid adverse, irreversible complications. Typically, a series of injections are spaced out over time to allow the results to be visualized before proceeding with additional injections.

Are there risks?

Kybella is very safe in the right hands. There may be minor bruising or swelling associated with the treatment. If used incorrectly, or if too much of the product is applied too quickly, it may result in more significant complications like scaring/banding of the skin or nerve injury. That is why it’s vital to seek a specialist trained in facial plastic surgery who has experience using Kybella and understands the critical anatomy in the head and neck.
