Are you bothered by a double chin that stems from aging, genetics, or weight gain? If so, you don’t have to undergo surgery to resolve it. Kybella is an FDA-approved treatment that can reduce the excess fat below your skin and give you a healthy, youthful appearance. Let’s dive deeper into what Kybella is and how it works.

How Kybella Works
Kybella is an injectable that contains a synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body. Essentially, deoxycholic acid breaks down and absorbs dietary fat. If you opt for a Kybella treatment, you can expect one of our expert providers to inject it into the fat beneath your skin. It will safely and effectively get rid of fat cells and leave you with a slimmer contour on your face.
Immediately after the injection process, we’ll thoroughly clean the area and apply a cold compress. This will minimize any swelling you may have.
In most cases, we recommend two to three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. The greatest benefit of Kybella is that it kills fat cells permanently. So they won’t be able to store fat and the need for additional treatments will not be necessary.
At Renew MD, we consider Kybella a permanent solution to a double chin. Since this is a non-invasive treatment, you can return to work and your daily responsibilities as soon as you’d like. Most patients report that Kybella restores their confidence and allows them to look and feel their best.
Good Candidates for Kybella
If you eat healthily and exercise but are concerned by moderate to severe fat beneath your chin, you may be a good candidate for Kybella. However, if your underlying goal is weight loss and you don’t make your health a top priority, Kybella is not right for you. If you’re in search of a weight loss treatment, we’d be happy to recommend an alternative option. We do not suggest Kybella for anyone who is under 18 years of age.
