Frequently Asked Questions.
Submental fullness due to fat beneath the chin can impact a broad range of both male and female adults. Some possible causes are aging, weight gain, and genetics.
When injected into the fat beneath your chin, KYBELLA® destroys fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat. The active ingredient in KYBELLA® is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Fat cleared from the treatment area is processed through your body’s natural metabolism.
During your consultation, your provider will help determine how many treatment sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal treatment goals. Up to 6 treatments may be administered, spaced no less than 1 month apart.
KYBELLA® is given during an in-office visit. The injection process may take 15 to 20 minutes. Your provider will give you a series of injections into the fat under your chin at each treatment session.
For most patients, downtime occurred most commonly after the first treatment session. You should be able to resume your normal daily activities, but are likely to have swelling, so keep your social plans and work commitments in mind when scheduling your treatment. After treatment, apply ice or a cold pack to the treatment area for 10 to 15 minutes, as needed.
