Refining the
Profile
A targeted injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fullness and support a more defined jawline contour.
Understanding Kybella®
Kybella® (deoxycholic acid) is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells in the treatment area under the chin to improve your profile. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.
When injected into the fat beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, resulting in a noticeable reduction in fullness. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store or accumulate fat.
Clinical Protocol
Precision & Safety
We prioritize a comprehensive assessment of your cervical anatomy to ensure Kybella is the appropriate option for your specific type of submental fullness.
Anatomical Mapping
We utilize a precise grid technique to mark the treatment area, avoiding vital structures while targeting fat deposits.
Conservative Planning
We advocate for a staged approach, treating over multiple sessions to ensure a gradual, natural transition.
Medical Oversight
All treatments are performed by licensed professionals with specific training in submental contouring.
Indications for Treatment
Kybella is specifically indicated for the improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat.
Submental Fullness
Reducing the appearance of a "double chin" caused by genetic fat distribution or aging.
Jawline Definition
Improving the visual definition of the jawline by reducing the fat pad beneath the chin.
Profile Refinement
Creating a more balanced profile view by addressing submental convexity.
The Process
Treatment Timeline
Kybella requires patience and planning. It is important to understand the recovery process and treatment series schedule.
The Series
Most patients require a series of 2-4 treatments, spaced at least 1 month apart, to achieve their desired aesthetic outcome.
Swelling
Swelling is common and expected after treatment. It is typically most pronounced after the first session and may last for a week or more.
Results
Reduction is gradual. As the body processes the treated fat cells, the profile improves over the weeks following each session.
