Many people seek a slim face and a defined chin as a beauty goal, yet the presence of submental fat (i.e., a double chin) can often interfere with this aesthetic aspiration.
Several factors, including weight gain, stress, and aging, can contribute to the appearance of a double chin, and reversing this isn’t always easy.
Fortunately, contemporary and non-surgical fat-dissolving treatments like Kybella are becoming increasingly popular due to their low risk of side effects and minimal invasiveness.
If foregoing surgical and costly double chin removal procedures for a less invasive treatment sounds like a good plan, the Kybella Fat Dissolver treatment is the best choice for you.
How Does Submental Fullness Lead to a Double Chin?
Submental fullness refers to excess fat stored under the chin area, leading to the appearance of a “double chin.” Excess chin fat can be caused by many factors, including weight gain, lifestyle, stress, or simply the natural aging process.
Although this is a common insecurity for many, submental fat reduction can be tricky. As a result, many patients would go under the knife for the classic “chin lipo” procedure, leading to uncomfortable side effects and costly treatment bills.
Thankfully, contemporary submental fat-dissolving treatments like Kybella allow patients to experience successful double chin reduction without the need for surgery.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is a popular dermal filler made from deoxycholic acid. It’s a minimally invasive submental fat reduction treatment that dissolves excess fat upon injection.
The deoxycholic acid in Kybella is a naturally occurring substance in the body that breaks down and absorbs fat. When injected into the chin area, Kybella begins dissolving the excess fat that causes the appearance of a double chin.
Over time, the deoxycholic acid successfully breaks down and absorbs submental fat, leading to a sharper and more defined chin and jawline area. The best part? Fat cells dissolved by Kybella do not regenerate, leading to longer-lasting results after just a couple of treatments!

The Treatment
Upon arrival, our friendly practitioner will address any further questions or concerns to ensure you’re entirely at ease before the treatment.
They will apply a numbing agent to the area, mark the relevant injection sites, and gently inject Kybella into small sections under the chin. To further minimize any discomfort, don’t hesitate to ask for short breaks or ice packs.
Patients can expect the treatment to last around 15-20 minutes, depending on the amount of submental fat.
Once the treatment is over, our injector will provide detailed aftercare instructions and help you schedule a follow-up appointment if necessary.
Post-Treatment Care
As a rule of thumb, patients can expect side effects like slight discomfort, swelling, and bruising. There’s no need to worry – these side effects are expected and resolve within a few days.
Although more detailed aftercare instructions will be presented at the facility, you can refer to these points as general guidelines:
- Avoid strenuous activities for the first 24-48 hours.
- Keep your head elevated to minimize swelling.
- Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and discomfort.
Patients may require 2-6 Kybella treatments spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.
