Kybella

The benefits of Kybella are:

• Reduces fat in the double chin
• No surgery
• Quick, can be done on your lunch break
• Minimal discomfort

The cost of Kybella will depend on how much of the medication you will need and how many treatments you will need. Because Kybella is non-invasive, you will need more than one session. The best results are seen after the 2nd and 3rd treatment (and beyond, if desired).  

At your consultation, you will receive a quote regarding the cost.

Swelling, bruising

This is expected and is temporary. After your first Kybella treatment, the swelling can last a number of days. With subsequent treatments, however, most of our patients have a lot less swelling. 

Numbness

The under-chin area can remain numb for a while but should go back to normal with time. 

Lack of desired effect

Just like anything in life, different people respond differently. Some people have a better response to Kybella than others. It may be necessary to have more treatment sessions than you originally planned. Kybella’s results may not be as dramatic an effect as liposuction of the chin so it’s important to have realistic expectations. People with extra skin of the neck will need neck lift surgery and will probably not be happy with Kybella alone.

Q: How long will my Kybella session take?
A: The session will be short and easy. You should be able to finish the treatment in 15-30 min. 

Q: How long will the results of Kybella last?
A: The fat cells that are killed by the Kybella medication will be permanently gone. But, if you gain weight afterwards, the remaining fat cells will get bigger and your double chin can return. 

We recommend that you “protect your investment” by maintaining a stable or decreased weight after surgery.

Q: Is Kybella painful?
A: Most of our patients do not find it painful. You may experience some burning sensation with the injections.

Q: Will I be able to go to work right after my Kybella?
A: It depends on the amount of swelling, but we usually recommend that you do your Kybella at the end of the work day and go straight home afterwards. 

Q: How long will it take to see the results?
A: You will likely see the results between 4-8 weeks.
