Kybella Treatment – Double Chin Reduction:
Say goodbye to your double chin and hello to a more sculpted, defined jawline with Kybella Treatment at New Blossom Medical Aesthetics. This FDA-approved injectable treatment offers a revolutionary non-surgical solution for eliminating stubborn submental fat—the persistent fat beneath the chin that creates an unwanted double chin appearance. Located in Hialeah Gardens, FL, our experienced medical team, led by Marisol, APRN, and Mario, MD, provides expert Kybella injections that deliver permanent fat reduction and dramatic profile improvements without surgery, incisions, or lengthy downtime.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is a groundbreaking, FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to target and permanently destroy fat cells beneath the chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a bioidentical form of a naturally occurring molecule in your body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. This powerful yet safe compound has been extensively studied and proven effective for reducing submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin.
Unlike diet and exercise, which can shrink fat cells but not eliminate them, or surgical procedures that require incisions and significant recovery time, Kybella offers a non-invasive middle ground that permanently destroys targeted fat cells. Once these fat cells are eliminated, they cannot return, store, or accumulate fat, providing long-lasting contouring results that can dramatically improve your profile and boost your confidence.
How Kybella Works
The science behind Kybella is both simple and elegant. When injected into the fat beneath your chin, the synthetic deoxycholic acid in Kybella works by disrupting the cell membrane of fat cells, causing them to break down and release their contents. The destroyed fat cells are then naturally processed and eliminated by your body’s lymphatic system over the following weeks. This process is permanent—once fat cells are destroyed by Kybella, they cannot regenerate or accumulate fat in the future.
The treatment process involves strategically placing multiple small injections beneath the chin in a precise grid pattern. The number of injections varies based on the amount of submental fat present and your aesthetic goals. Most patients require 2-4 treatment sessions spaced at least one month apart to achieve optimal results, though some may see their desired outcome with fewer sessions while others may benefit from additional treatments.
Benefits of Kybella Treatment
Kybella offers numerous advantages for individuals seeking to eliminate their double chin and achieve a more defined jawline. The treatment permanently destroys fat cells for long-lasting results, provides a non-surgical alternative to liposuction with no incisions or general anesthesia, is FDA-approved with proven safety and efficacy, creates a more contoured and youthful jawline profile, and improves facial proportions and overall appearance.
Additional benefits include customizable treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, relatively quick treatment sessions (typically 15-30 minutes), minimal downtime with most patients returning to normal activities within days, natural-looking results that develop gradually over weeks, improved self-confidence and satisfaction with your appearance, and prevention of future fat accumulation in treated areas. Many patients report that eliminating their double chin makes them look younger, slimmer, and more attractive in photos and mirrors.
The Treatment Process
Your Kybella journey at New Blossom Medical Aesthetics begins with a comprehensive consultation where we assess your chin profile and the amount of submental fat, discuss your aesthetic goals and expectations, review your medical history and suitability for treatment, explain the procedure, expected results, and treatment timeline, and create a personalized treatment plan with the recommended number of sessions.
On the day of your Kybella treatment, the area beneath your chin is cleansed and marked with a precise injection grid. A topical numbing agent or ice may be applied to enhance comfort, though Kybella itself contains lidocaine to minimize discomfort. Using a very fine needle, our experienced injector administers multiple small injections of Kybella into the targeted fat deposits. The entire procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes, and while you may feel some pressure or mild stinging during injections, most patients tolerate the treatment well.
Results Timeline and Expectations
One of the unique aspects of Kybella is that results develop gradually and naturally over time as your body processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells. Most patients begin to notice improvements within 4-6 weeks after their first treatment session, with continued improvements over the following 2-3 months. The gradual nature of results means changes appear natural rather than sudden or obvious.
Because individual responses vary based on the amount of submental fat and your body’s metabolism, most patients require 2-4 treatment sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve their desired outcome. Some patients with minimal fat may be satisfied after just one or two sessions, while those with more significant submental fullness may benefit from additional treatments. Once your final results are achieved, they are permanent—the destroyed fat cells cannot regenerate, and the fat will not return to the treated area.
Recovery and Downtime
While Kybella is non-surgical and requires no incisions, it’s important to have realistic expectations about the recovery process. Immediately following treatment, you can expect swelling, redness, bruising, numbness or tingling, and firmness in the treated area. These side effects are normal, expected, and temporary, typically resolving within 1-2 weeks. Swelling is usually most pronounced during the first few days and gradually subsides over 7-14 days.
Most patients can return to work and normal activities within 1-2 days, though you may want to schedule treatments when you can allow a few days for swelling to subside. We provide comprehensive post-treatment care instructions to help manage side effects and optimize your results, including applying ice packs to reduce swelling, taking over-the-counter pain medication if needed, sleeping with your head elevated, avoiding strenuous exercise for a few days, and being patient as results develop over the following weeks.
Ideal Candidates for Kybella
Kybella is an excellent option for adults who are bothered by moderate to severe submental fat (double chin), have good skin elasticity in the chin and neck area, are at or near their ideal body weight, prefer a non-surgical fat reduction option, have realistic expectations about results and treatment timeline, and are committed to attending multiple treatment sessions if needed. Kybella is not suitable for individuals with infections in the treatment area, difficulty swallowing, or certain medical conditions affecting the neck area.
During your consultation, we’ll carefully evaluate your chin profile, assess your skin quality, and determine whether Kybella is the right treatment to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Long-Lasting, Permanent Results
One of the most compelling advantages of Kybella is that results are permanent. Once fat cells are destroyed by the treatment, they cannot regenerate or accumulate fat in the future. This means that maintaining a stable weight after achieving your desired results will ensure your improved chin profile lasts indefinitely. Unlike temporary solutions that require ongoing maintenance, Kybella provides a long-term solution to submental fullness.
