Kybella Neck Treatment

KYBELLA^® is an injectable treatment that is FDA-approved for the reduction of excess fat under the chin. Composed of deoxycholic acid, a natural compound found in the body, KYBELLA is injected into fat deposits that create the appearance of a “double chin” or unwanted fullness under the chin.

Once injected, KYBELLA works to break down fat cells, which are then gradually removed from the body. KYBELLA is typically used to treat excess fat that has accumulated in the submental, or under-chin, area.

A KYBELLA procedure visit typically includes numbing the treatment area, marking the injection site sites and administering the injections. Patients arrive about an hour before treatment so a topical numbing cream can be applied. Once the area is numb, the cream is removed and the treatment site is marked with a grid to guide the injections.
