Kybella® FAQs

What is Submental Fullness?

Submental fullness is a frustrating and common condition defined by extra fat along the chin and jawline. It’s also known as the 'double chin' or 'turkey neck.' Submental fullness is often resistant to exercise and healthy eating, so cosmetic treatments like Kybella offer the most efficient way to remove excess fullness.

Will my chin profile change in ways people notice?

Yes, many patients see improved jawline definition, reduced shadowing under the chin, and a more balanced facial structure. Results are subtle yet transformative, especially when viewed from the side profile.

How soon will I see results?

Most patients notice improvement within a few weeks after their first treatment, with optimal results becoming visible after multiple sessions.

Can I still get Kybella if I’ve had previous chin surgery or fillers?

Yes, your provider will review any previous chin surgeries or filler treatments to determine the safest injection plan and ensure the best possible results.

What happens if I gain weight after my Kybella treatment?

The destroyed fat cells don’t return, but remaining fat cells can expand with weight gain. To maintain your result, staying within a healthy weight range is important.

Can lifestyle factors like alcohol or sleep quality affect how well Kybella works?

Absolutely. Hydration, restful sleep, and avoiding alcohol right before and after treatments help the body’s healing and fat-elimination process. Healthy habits support more consistent and lasting results.
