Kybella®
in Manitowoc, WI
Struggling with stubborn fat under your chin that won’t go away despite diet and exercise? Kybella® is an FDA-approved, non-surgical treatment designed to reduce a double chin and help you achieve a more defined, sculpted profile.
How does Kybella® work?
The active ingredient in Kybella® is synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella® destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness under the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment is not expected once you reach your desired aesthetic goal.
Though fat reduction is permanent, most patients need up to six Kybella® treatments, six to eight weeks apart. So you may not start seeing the results you want for several months.
BOOK NOWWhat can Kybella® treat?
Kybella® is designed to treat excess fat beneath the chin, which can occur due to factors like genetics, aging, or weight gain. Common concerns addressed by Kybella® include:
- Double chin: Reduces fullness under the chin for a sleeker appearance
- Chin contouring: Creates a more defined jawline
- Sculpted profile: Helps improve your overall profile and self-image
Who is a candidate for Kybella®?
Kybella® is ideal for adults with moderate to severe chin fat (double chin) who want a non-surgical solution to improve their profile. It’s important to have good skin elasticity to achieve the best results. Kybella® is not suitable for those with loose skin, significant sagging, or certain medical conditions.
A consultation with your Forefront provider will determine if Kybella® is right for you.
What is a Kybella® session like?
Before starting treatment, your Forefront healthcare specialist will examine the area under and around your chin to determine if you are a candidate for Kybella® treatment.
During your appointment, your doctor will cleanse your chin area and mark lines on your skin to guide precise injections.
Using a fine needle, the doctor injects Kybella® into the fat beneath your chin. Depending on how much chin fullness you have, you may get anywhere from 20–50 small, quick injections in the area. Most patients report a slight burning sensation after each injection that can last a few minutes.
After treatment, patients may experience swelling or redness, but these side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a few days. You should be able to resume normal activities immediately, though your provider may advise you to avoid strenuous activity for a few days until any swelling subsides.
What results can I expect from Kybella®?
Kybella® delivers long-lasting results by permanently destroying fat cells in the treated area. Patients typically begin to see improvements after 5-6 weeks after treatment, with full results visible a few months after completing the treatment plan.
Once the fat cells are destroyed, they do not return, so results are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight.
