How Kybella Works
Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath your chin, it destroys fat cells permanently.
Step 1: Injection
Multiple small injections target submental fat (15-20 minutes).
Step 2: Cell Destruction
Deoxycholic acid breaks down fat cell membranes.
Step 3: Natural Elimination
Your body naturally processes and eliminates destroyed fat.
Step 4: Permanent Results
Once destroyed, those fat cells cannot store fat again.
Important: The "Bullfrog" Phase
Kybella causes significant swelling for 2-3 days. Your chin will look larger before it looks smaller. This is normal and means the treatment is working.
- Plan for 2-3 days of visible swelling per session
- Avoid scheduling before important events or photos
- Swelling resolves within 7-10 days

Frequently Asked Questions
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients need 2-6 sessions, spaced 4 weeks apart. Some see results after 2 treatments, others may need up to 6 for optimal results.
Are results really permanent?
Yes. Once fat cells are destroyed, they cannot store fat again. However, remaining fat cells can enlarge with significant weight gain, so maintain a healthy lifestyle.
What about nerve damage I've heard about?
Temporary numbness is common. Nerve injury causing uneven smile or difficulty swallowing is rare and typically temporary when it does occur. Proper injection technique by trained providers minimizes this risk.
When will I see results?
Visible improvement begins around 6-8 weeks after your first treatment. Maximum results appear at 12 weeks. Because multiple sessions are needed, full results take 3-6 months.
