The Truth About Kybella: Non-Surgical Double Chin Treatment
If you’ve ever felt self-conscious about a double chin, you’re not alone. This common concern often persists even with diet and exercise, leaving many clients frustrated. At Cosmetic Injections by Yulia in Greenfield, MA, I offer Kybella, the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently reduces submental fullness (the “double chin”). As an aesthetic nurse injector and business owner, I’m here to share the truth about how it works, what to expect, and why it might be right for you.
What Is Kybella?
Kybella is an injectable treatment made from deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in the body that helps break down fat. When injected into the area under the chin, it destroys fat cells permanently. Once those cells are gone, they can’t return, meaning your results are long-lasting.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella?
Kybella is best suited for clients who have:
Moderate to mild fullness under the chin
Good skin elasticity (to “snap back” after fat reduction)
A desire for a non-surgical option instead of liposuction
It’s important to note that Kybella targets fat only, not skin laxity. During a consultation, I’ll evaluate whether Kybella or another treatment may be the best fit for your goals.
What to Expect During the Treatment
Preparation: The area is marked for precision, and a numbing agent is applied for comfort.
Injections: Kybella is carefully injected into the treatment area in a grid-like pattern.
Time: The whole procedure takes about 30 minutes.
Recovery and Results
Downtime: Swelling is very common (and a normal part of the process), typically lasting about 1–2 weeks. Some clients also experience mild bruising or tenderness.
Sessions: Most people need 2–4 sessions, spaced at least 6 weeks apart, for optimal results.
Permanence: Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not come back. Results are considered permanent with a stable weight.
Common Myths About Kybella
Myth: Kybella results are instant.
Truth: Results appear gradually over several weeks as your body processes the destroyed fat cells.Myth: Kybella is painful.
Truth: Most clients describe it as mildly uncomfortable, with swelling being the most noticeable after-effect.Myth: Kybella works for everyone.
Truth: It’s highly effective for the right candidates, but not ideal for clients with significant skin laxity or large fat deposits.
