Kybella Contours Submental Fullness Non-Surgically Resulting in a Slimmer Tighter Chin
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness or “double chin.”
Kybella is an injectable product that is placed directly into the submental fat pocket. It starts to dissolve the fat cells immediately, resulting in a slimmer chin and tightening of the surrounding tissue. Though treatments are customized for each patient, most people will enjoy visible results after one to two treatments, and full results are seen with an average of four treatment sessions. There is minimal to no downtime, side effects or discomfort with Kybella and the results are long-lasting.
Talia Emery, M.D. and her team of medical professionals were among the first in the country to perform the Kybella treatment.

FAQ’s About Kybella
WHAT IS SUBMENTAL FULLNESS?
Submental fullness due to submental fat, sometimes referred to as ”double chin,” is a common, yet undertreated facial aesthetic condition. It can detract from an otherwise balanced and harmonious facial appearance leading to an older and heavier look.
Submental fullness can impact a broad range of adults, and is not limited to people who are overweight. This condition can impact men or women of average weight and can be caused by aging, genetics and weight gain. It is often resistant to diet and exercise alone.
According to a 2014 survey by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), over 2/3 of consumers are bothered by submental fullness – nearly as many as those bothered by lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
HOW DOES KYBELLA WORK?
Kybella is a formulation of deoxycholic acid, a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into subcutaneous fat, Kybella causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. After the aesthetic response is achieved, re-treatment with Kybella is not expected.
HOW IS KYBELLA ADMINISTERED?
Kybella is administered by injections into the fat under the chin.
Treatment with Kybella is customized by the physician to the patient’s aesthetic goals for an improved chin profile.
IS KYBELLA SAFE?
Kybella has been the focus of a global clinical development program involving over 20 clinical studies with more than 2,600 patients worldwide, of which over 1,600 have been treated with Kybella.
WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS WITH KYBELLA?
The safety profile of Kybella is well characterized. Side effects may include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness or formation of small areas of firmness.
