Fat Dissolving
Kybella
At GFaceMD, we offer Kybella®, an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to permanently dissolve unwanted fat beneath the chin, along the jawline, and specific areas of the body. Whether you’re concerned about a “double chin”or want to achieve a more defined silhouette, Kybella® offers a safe, non-surgical solution with long-lasting results.
Kybella® uses a naturally occurring molecule called deoxycholic acid, which helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into targeted areas, it destroys fat cells, resulting in a slimmer and more sculpted profile over time. Once those fat cells are eliminated, they can’t return, making your results long-lasting with proper maintenance and a healthy lifestyle. For many clients, a series of treatments leads to a noticeably more contoured and confident appearance, without the need for surgery or invasive procedures.
Kybella FAQs
What is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to permanently reduce small pockets of fat using deoxycholic acid.
What is the downtime after Kybella®?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience swelling, tenderness, or mild bruising in the treated area for several days, especially after chin treatments. Swelling is a sign that the body is breaking down fat cells and typically resolves within a couple weeks. Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities right away.
What areas can Kybella® treat?
While Kybella® is effective for treating small, stubborn pockets of fat in the face and body, including:
- Double chin
Bra area (underarm bulge)
Upper back (“bra roll”)
Upper arms
Abdomen
Knees
Ankles
These areas are often resistant to diet and exercise, and Kybella® provides a precise, injectable option to refine contours without invasive procedures.
Who is a good candidate for Kybella®?
Kybella® is ideal for individuals who have mild to moderate fat deposits under the chin or in small areas of the body that are resistant to exercise and healthy eating. It’s best suited for patients looking for a non-surgical option to refine and contour their appearance. During your consultation, our providers will evaluate your anatomy and determine if Kybella® is the right treatment for your goals.
How many Kybella® treatments will I need?
The number of treatments varies depending on the area treated and the amount of fat present. Most patients require a series of 2–4 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan to achieve your desired result.
