What Is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable that contains deoxycholic acid, a substance that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into targeted areas, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.

Once these fat cells are removed, they cannot store or accumulate fat again, making the results long-lasting. At SOMA, Kybella is administered with precision to improve contour while maintaining natural facial balance.

What Kybella Can Treat

Kybella is specifically designed to address fat beneath the chin, but its effects can significantly impact overall facial balance.

Submental Fat

The primary use of Kybella is to reduce fat under the chin, creating a more defined and streamlined contour.

Jawline Definition

By reducing fullness in the lower face, Kybella can enhance the appearance of the jawline and improve overall facial structure.

Profile Refinement

Improvement in the chin and neck area can create a more balanced side profile.

Your Consultation

Your consultation at SOMA is designed to be detailed and individualized, focusing on your facial structure and treatment goals. You will meet with a qualified provider who will evaluate the amount and distribution of submental fat, as well as skin quality and elasticity.

This helps determine whether Kybella is the most appropriate option. The consultation also includes a discussion of how many sessions may be needed and what kind of results to expect.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella?

Kybella is ideal for individuals who are bothered by fullness beneath the chin and want a non-surgical treatment option. Candidates are typically in good overall health and have moderate submental fat with good skin elasticity. Those seeking gradual improvement without surgery often benefit most from this treatment. Patients looking for a permanent reduction in fat cells in the treated area are strong candidates.

What to Expect During Your Kybella Treatment

Injection Process

A series of small injections are placed beneath the chin to target fat cells. The number of injections depends on the treatment area and individual needs.

Controlled Treatment Plan

Most patients require multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.

Precision and Safety

Each injection is placed carefully to ensure effective fat reduction while maintaining surrounding structures.

Kybella Recovery

Recovery after Kybella treatment involves a short period of swelling as the body begins to break down fat cells. In the initial phase, swelling, redness, and tenderness under the chin are common. Swelling can be more noticeable in the first few days and gradually improves over time. Most patients can return to normal activities shortly after treatment, though some may choose to allow a few days for swelling to subside.

Long-Term Results

As the body processes the treated fat, the area beneath the chin becomes more defined. Results develop gradually over several weeks and continue to improve with additional sessions if needed. Once fat cells are eliminated, they do not return, making the results long-lasting.

A Gradual and Targeted Approach

Kybella is designed to create improvement over time rather than immediate change. This allows for controlled refinement and natural-looking results.

At SOMA, Kybella is often used as part of a broader facial contouring plan, ensuring that the jawline and surrounding areas remain balanced and proportionate.
