If you want to get rid of your double chin without having to undergo a risky surgery, then kybella is the treatment you’re looking for!
Whether you want to understand how kybella works or how effective this treatment is, after reading this post, you will get all the answers you’re looking for.
So, without further ado, let’s dive right in.
What Exactly Is Kybella?
Kybella is a non-surgical treatment in which injections are targeted at the fat present beneath your chin. During the procedure, a series of deoxycholic acid injections is used to reduce the fat cells.
If you have tomophobia, then the good news is that no incisions are required during the procedure
How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella injections use a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid (a bile acid naturally produced by your body for absorbing fat). Once you get injected, the bile acid destroys fat cells so that the area beneath your chin can’t store fat.
Since it seems like a simple procedure, some people think they can do it themselves. But kybella treatment isn’t as simple as it seems because if the acid injected is even a few centimeters away from the target, then you can end up killing important cells of your body.
That’s why this is a job best left to the professionals.

Is it Safe?
Although kybella is generally considered safe, as it is the only FDA-approved treatment for double chins, there are still some side effects.
Some common side effects include:
- Pain
- Swelling
- Bruising
- Redness
- Numbness
Is it expensive?
The cost for treatment varies depending on your location. In the United States, the average cost of kybella treatment is between $1,200 to $1,800.
Is it effective?
Kybella injections are the only FDA-approved treatment for melting double chins. As for effectiveness, different people see different results.
Most patients report seeing visible results and those aged 18-25 with lots of fat beneath the chin are the ones who see the best results.
People who should stay away from kybella treatments are the ones who have a facial surgery scheduled, have an infection, or are pregnant.
Is a single session enough?
As with most facial treatments, the number of sessions required depends on your conditions. Some people achieve their desired results from only a single session. While others have to go through multiple treatments to reach optimal results.
We recommend consulting your healthcare providers for coming up with a plan to achieve your ideal results. They will design a treatment plan according to your specific needs.
In most cases, patients require multiple treatments to achieve their desired results. According to recent studies, a big percentage of patients achieved clearly visible results after 2-4 treatments.
But to melt their double chin to their desired extent, 5-6 treatments were required in 60 percent of cases.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Once the deoxycholic acid destroys fat cells in your submental area, then the results will last. At this point, no further treatment is required, as the fat cells can no longer store fat.
