KYBELLA® is a revolutionary treatment to reduce fat under the chin, also known as submental fullness. This fat can be hereditary, or it can be the result of age or excess weight. Regardless, it can add years and pounds to your face whether you want it to or not. KYBELLA® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your facial profile without liposuction or surgery.

Candidates

Ideal candidates for KYBELLA® are men and women who have excess fat under their chin. Candidates are also in good health and have realistic expectations of their results. During your consultation, Dr. Ariel Ostad will be able to determine if you are truly a candidate for KYBELLA®, and he will design a treatment plan based on the goals you wish to achieve. Depending on the amount of submental fat you have, Dr. Ostad may recommend three to four sessions for the best results.

Procedure

KYBELLA® dissolves fat internally by utilizing its active ingredient: synthetic deoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is a natural molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fats. It is created naturally within the body in the digestive tract. KYBELLA® is a synthesized version of this same element. Precisely injected into targeted locations, it disrupts the walls of fat cells, causing them to spill their lipid content. The destroyed fat cells and residual deoxycholic acid are harmlessly cleared by the circulatory and lymphatic systems over time.

Recovery

Because KYBELLA® is an injectable, non-surgical treatment, downtime is extremely minimal, and you can return to normal activities right after treatment. However, patients will experience some bruising, swelling, numbness, tenderness, redness, or firmness, in the injection site for a few weeks after the procedure, but it is temporary.
