Kybella™

At Supriya Aesthetic Dermatology, we recognize that reaching your aesthetic goals is about more than just appearances—it’s about empowering you to look and feel your absolute best.
What is Kybella™?
Kybella is a brand name for an injectable treatment used to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin (submental fat), commonly known as a double chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella causes the destruction of fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body over time. This results in a more contoured jawline and reduced fullness under the chin.
How Does Kybella™ Work?
Kybella™ is a groundbreaking injectable treatment that targets and eliminates fat cells in the subcutaneous layer beneath the chin. The active ingredient in Kybella™, deoxycholic acid, disrupts the cell membrane of fat cells, causing them to rupture. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, leading to a permanent reduction in submental fullness.
Each treatment session is performed in-office by a qualified healthcare provider and typically lasts between 20 to 30 minutes. The treatment area is carefully photographed and marked to ensure precise targeting of the fat deposits. Patients may receive numbing cream or local anesthesia to enhance comfort during the procedure. The technique used for Kybella™ injections is similar to that of other cosmetic injectables like BOTOX®, Juvederm®, and Restylane®. Multiple injections are administered to achieve optimal results. Patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, or discomfort at the injection sites, but these side effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few days to weeks.
What Areas Can Be Treated
With Kybella™?
Kybella™’s ability to target specific areas of localized fat makes it a versatile option for individuals looking to refine their body contours without the need for invasive surgery. This innovative treatment allows for precise and customizable fat reduction, providing a non-surgical alternative to traditional liposuction. Whether you have stubborn fat under the chin, around the bra line, on the back, or in other challenging areas, it can help sculpt and contour your body to achieve a more streamlined and defined appearance. Some of the specific areas that can be effectively treated with Kybella™ include:
Flanks (Love Handles)
Kybella™ injections can be used to reduce fat deposits on the sides of the torso, commonly known as love handles, to enhance overall body shape and definition.
Upper Arms
Excess fat in the upper arms, often referred to as "bat wings," can be addressed with Kybella™ to improve arm contour and achieve a more toned appearance.
Inner Thighs
Kybella™ can help reduce fat deposits on the inner thighs, improving thigh contours and addressing concerns about thigh fullness.
Submental Area (Double Chin)
Kybella™ is FDA-approved for reducing excess fat under the chin, helping to contour and define the jawline for a more youthful profile.
Bra Fat
Stubborn fat deposits that accumulate around the bra line can be targeted with Kybella™ injections to achieve a smoother, more contoured back and upper torso.
Back Fat
Areas of fat on the upper and lower back that are resistant to diet and exercise can be treated with Kybella™, resulting in a more streamlined silhouette.
Knees
Fat accumulation around the knees can be a concern for some individuals. Kybella™ injections can help reduce fat in this area to create a smoother appearance.
By offering a non-invasive, versatile solution for targeted fat reduction, Kybella™ empowers individuals to achieve their desired body contours with minimal downtime and discomfort. This treatment not only enhances physical appearance but also boosts confidence, allowing individuals to look and feel their best without the need for surgical intervention.

FAQs
To help you better understand Kybella™ treatments at Supriya Aesthetic Dermatology, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions:
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during Kybella™ injections, as Dr. Supriya Tomar numbs the area with lidocaine. The lidocaine injection may cause a brief burning sensation, but the Kybella™ injection itself is generally well-tolerated. Alternatively, a topical numbing cream can be used, though this may result in slightly more discomfort during the procedure.
Some injection-related side effects include swelling, bruising, and pain. In clinical trials, some patients also experienced temporary numbness, redness, or small areas of firmness. These side effects are generally self-limited and resolve without intervention.
Most patients require between two to six treatments of Kybella™ to achieve their desired outcome. Treatments are spaced at least four weeks apart, and results are assessed four to twelve weeks after each session. Once the desired aesthetic response is achieved, re-treatment is typically not necessary.
Kybella™ provides long-lasting results by destroying fat cells. Once eliminated, fat cells can no longer store or accumulate additional fat. Thus, re-treatment is not expected after achieving the desired aesthetic outcome.
Kybella™ is a nonsurgical treatment for reducing fat under the chin. If you can pinch your double chin and feel fat or see it in a selfie with your chin tilted down, you might be a candidate. For a definitive assessment, schedule a consultation with Dr. Supriya Tomar.
Just like any other injectable treatment, the cost of Kybella™ depends on the number of vials used to treat the area. When you come in for your consultation with Dr. Supriya Tomar, she will assess the treatment site and the degree of submental fullness. We also offer financing options such as CareCredit.
