Kybella

Each patient is unique, with different goals and needs, but here is what you can expect during a Kybella treatment:

Consultation: Before the procedure, you’ll have a consultation with your provider. They will assess your chin area, discuss your goals, and determine if you’re a good candidate for Kybella.

Preparation: The treatment area will be cleaned and numbed with a topical anesthetic.

Injections: Your provider will inject Kybella into the areas of excess fat under your chin. The injections are typically described as feeling like small pinpricks.

Treatment Time: The procedure usually takes about 15-20 minutes.

Recovery: There may be some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites after the treatment. These side effects are generally mild and should subside within a few days.

Kybella is primarily approved for treating the submental area, which is the area under the chin. It’s designed to reduce excess fat in this specific region.

Typically, most patients are ideal candidates for Kybella. If you are seeking cosmetic improvement, without surgery, you are a great candidate for this treatment. While Kybella is a nonsurgical procedure, patients who do not meet the requirements could experience nerve injury and subsequent facial muscle weakness. We believe it is better to reschedule cosmetic treatments rather than rush into them. Feel free to contact our professionals if you have any questions before or on the day of your treatment.

A Kybella injection destroys fat cells and will deliver visible results in 2 to 4 months. Along with your Kybella treatment, a healthy lifestyle can also help you get faster, better, and long-lasting Kybella results.

Kybella can cause temporary swelling and bruising, which typically resolve within a week. To minimize side effects after your treatment we recommend the following:

• Avoid medications, supplements, or activities that could aggravate swelling or bruising before and after treatment

• Avoid NSAIDs, herbal supplements, smoking, and alcohol

• Arnica can help reduce bruising, but consult your doctor first

• Shave your chin before treatment.

While Kybella is effective for reducing fat, it has limitations and may require multiple treatments. Avoid intense activity or excessive heat for a few days after treatment.
