How Kybella (Deoxycholic Acid) Works
Kybella® works through a process called adipocyte lipolysis. The active compound is a synthetic match to the body’s natural bile acid, which breaks down dietary lipids.
When introduced beneath the skin, it permanently ruptures the phospholipid bilayer of fat cell membranes. Because adult bodies cannot grow new fat cells, those cleared from the submental space are gone for good, leaving you with a permanently slimmer profile.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that contours and improves the appearance of submental fullness. Utilizing a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat, Kybella targets and eliminates fat cells beneath the chin area, resulting in a more defined jawline without the need for surgery.
Why Patients Love Kybella
- Permanent Results – Once fat cells are destroyed, they don’t return

- Improves Jawline Definition – Great for refining the profile
Why Local Patients Choose Strella
When treating the neck area, precise anatomical knowledge is everything. Patients looking to improve neck bands or dynamic muscle movement may also benefit from Dysport or Xeomin injections.
- Surgeon Oversight :Our clinic operates under the direct medical supervision of Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Benjamin Lam.
- Elite Registered Nurses :Your injections are performed by Jodi, RN (former ICU Nurse) or Kim, RN (former Acute Care Nurse), bringing clinical precision and a remarkably gentle touch.
- Natural-Looking Contours :We customize your treatment map to match your unique facial structure, completely avoiding a "frozen" or uneven look.
What to Expect
Before Your Appointment
Avoid blood thinners and alcohol 24–48 hours before. You may be advised to take Arnica to reduce swelling.
During Treatment
Kybella is injected in a grid pattern under the chin. The process takes about 15–20 minutes. You may feel warmth or pressure.
Aftercare
Swelling and puffiness are common and can last 3–7 days. Results develop gradually as the body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells over several weeks.
Your 30-Minute Treatment Timeline
We respect your time. Our structured clinical protocol is fast, comfortable, and fits seamlessly into your busy schedule
- The Pinch Test & Numbing Minutes 1-10 :We check the area to make sure you have the right type of pinchable fat for Kybella. Then, we apply a strong topical numbing cream and ice to make the treatment as comfortable as possible
- Precision Injections Minutes 11-25 : Your nurse marks a temporary grid guide under your chin to ensure even results. Kybella® is gently injected into the target fat layer, staying safely away from critical nerves.
- Post-Care & Next Steps Minutes 26-30 : If your double chin is actually caused by loose, sagging skin or vertical neck bands rather than fat, a fat-dissolver won't give you the look you want. If that's the case, we will walk you through our advanced skin-tightening treatments (like FaceTite™ or CoolSculpting®).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kybella and how does it work?
Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable for double chin (submental fat). Its deoxycholic acid permanently destroys fat cells under the chin, which your body clears naturally over the following weeks — no surgery or incisions needed.
How many Kybella sessions will I need?
Most patients need 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Your provider will confirm the right number for you at the consultation.
Is the swelling bad after Kybella?
Swelling is expected — it is actually a sign the treatment is working. It usually peaks in the first couple of days and settles within 3–7 days.
Does Kybella hurt?
Most patients find it uncomfortable rather than painful. Expect warmth or pressure during the 15–20 minute treatment, with mild tenderness for a few days afterward.
Are Kybella results permanent?
Yes. Once destroyed, the fat cells do not come back. Keeping a stable weight helps maintain your defined result long-term
What is the downtime after Kybella?
Minimal — you can return to normal activities the next day. Just plan for visible swelling under the chin for about a week.
Who is a good candidate for Kybella?
Adults with a double chin caused by excess fat who want a non-surgical solution. If loose skin (rather than fat) is the main concern, your provider may recommend a different option.
