Kybella contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a substance that breaks down and absorbs dietary fat. When injected into the area under the chin, it permanently destroys fat cells. Over time, the body flushes them out, creating a more sculpted appearance. Once removed, those fat cells cannot return.

Medically reviewed by our trusted team of providers.
Kybella is FDA-approved specifically for treating moderate to severe fat beneath the chin. While some providers explore off-label use, we believe in prioritizing safety and only use it in areas with extensive clinical research and support. For other face and body contouring needs, we offer other treatments that may be more appropriate.
Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements in the days before your visit. Refrain from alcohol the day before your treatment, and notify our team if you’ve had prior procedures in the treatment area. Wear a loose collar or shirt to avoid irritation after your appointment.
Post-treatment swelling is common and can last from several days to several weeks. You may also experience mild bruising or tenderness. These effects indicate the treatment is working and typically resolve on their own. Avoid strenuous activity and follow all aftercare instructions provided by our team.
No, because once the treated fat cells are destroyed and flushed out of the body, they do not regenerate. However, maintaining a stable weight helps preserve your results. If you’re concerned about other signs of aging, Midtowne Wellness and Aesthetics offers additional treatments to further refine your profile. This includes smoothing treatments like neurotoxins and/or dermal fillers.
We assess your concerns during a detailed consultation. If your under-chin fullness results from fat rather than sagging skin or structural issues, you’re likely a good candidate. If another treatment better matches your goals and unique needs, we’ll help you find the right match.
