Kybella® - Sanford, FL
KYBELLA is a non-surgical option to treat excess fat under the chin, commonly referred to as a “double chin”. KYBELLA is an injectable solution that treats submental fullness or a “double chin” by permanently destroying fat cells, and thus improving the chin and neck profile. The size of the treatment area determines the number of vials needed at each treatment, and typically requires three to six treatments total, each at least four weeks apart. Good candidates are individuals who have excess fat under the chin and good skin elasticity. The resulting fat loss is permanent

KYBELLA® F.A.Q.s
KYBELLA® is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a bile salt that is made by our liver and stored in the gallbladder to digest fat. It works by disrupting the fat’s cell membrane. The fat is carried away by our lymphatic system and eliminated from the body.
Good candidates for treatment with KYBELLA® are individuals who have excess fat under the chin, good skin elasticity, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding
While fat destruction is almost immediate, it takes up to four weeks for the lymphatic system to eliminate the dead cells from the treatment area.
The number of vials needed is determined by the size of the treatment area. Most patients need 2-4 treatments of KYBELLA®, each 4-6 weeks apart, for best results. 2-3 vials per treatment are the average amount needed. Each vial is $550. The total number of vials and the anticipated number of treatments will be determined at your consultation.
Fat cells get larger in size with increased calorie intake and smaller with calorie restriction. They do not regenerate, therefore, fat loss in the treated area is permanent.
Swelling following treatment is expected and indicates that the fat cells are destroyed and gradually resolves over four weeks. Numbness in the area is common following treatment and may take several weeks to resolve. Bruising may occasionally occur and typically resolves within 7-10 days.
