Kybella Injections for Double Chin at Six Locations: Philadelphia on Rittenhouse Square, Lemoyne, Chester Springs, Newtown, and Lancaster, PA.
If you’re bothered by a double chin, you’re not alone. According to a 2018 survey conducted by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), when asked what drives them to cosmetic surgery 73% of respondents said they were bothered by excess fat under their chin and/or neck.*
Kybella is an FDA-approved nonsurgical treatment that contours and diminishes patients’ submental fullness (double chins). The treatment only takes 15-20 minutes, and it’s customizable so you can achieve your skincare goals. Kybella was created to reduce the size of your double chin and reveal your beautifully-contoured face and neck.
The Kybella procedure involves injecting a synthetic product similar to keoxycholic acid (a naturally occurring molecule that helps metabolize fat) directly into the fat below the chin. This serum causes the membrane of the fat cells to rupture, releasing the fat into the body so it can be destroyed naturally.
We all want that amazing profile where our chin is beautifully sculpted and our slim neck can be seen. We work hard at our diet and exercise routine to achieve this look, but sometimes that double chin just won’t go away. Kybella double chin treatments can address that stubborn submental fat.
We also have other effective treatments for double chins.

Kybella in the Greater Philadelphia Area
With the prevalence of social media, the desire to enhance your appearance is greater today than it ever has been. If you’ve ever had a picture taken at an undesirable angle, you may have noticed areas of your face or chin that make you feel self-conscious.
Modern medicine has introduced cosmetic procedures like liposuction that can enhance your appearance. But, are there alternative options that are less invasive than plastic surgery? The answer is yes!
Kybella is an injectable treatment that can treat your double chin. It’s an innovative new treatment option that is available to help you maintain a youthful appearance.
In this article, you’ll learn more about what Kybella can treat, what to expect from the procedure, who can benefit from the treatment, and what kinds of costs are involved.
Kybella Injections
The FDA approved Kybella in 2015 to treat submental fullness, also known as a double chin. This excess fat on the neck and under the chin can affect men and women of any age. Even if you lead a healthy lifestyle, it can be difficult to remove fat deposits from this area with diet and exercise alone.
How Kybella Works
Deoxycholic acid is the primary ingredient in Kybella injections. Deoxycholic acid is an artificially manufactured form of a natural bile acid found in your body. This substance helps break down and absorb fat molecules through a process called cytolysis. During this process, the membranes of the fat cells are destroyed and metabolized by the body.
The deoxycholic acid needs to be carefully injected into the specific fat cells in the neck and chin that are meant to be destroyed. You should consult an experienced medical provider who’s knowledgeable about the Kybella process and the face’s structure.
What Does Kybella Treat?
Kybella injections treat moderate to severe submental fullness, also known as a double chin. This includes excessive and large fat cells that have gathered under the chin. Besides destroying the fat cells themselves, Kybella can also treat laxity, or loose skin, in the neck.
Currently, Kybella treatments for reducing excess fat are only approved for submental fullness.
Who is Kybella For?
Kybella treatments can be for healthy men and women. If you are struggling with excess fat beneath your chin and want a more sculpted face and jawline, Kybella may be a good option for you.
You may have heard of this fat called “stubborn” fat. These fat cells can persist even after you lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle with diet and exercise.
If you’re considering Kybella treatments, schedule a consultation with a skilled medical provider. Your providers should ensure that your submental fullness is being caused by fat cells and not a different underlying condition.
Other medical conditions including thyroid disorders, swollen lymph nodes or glands, or surgeries on your neck, chin, or face should also be discussed with your medical provider before choosing Kybella.
Benefits of Kybella
Perhaps the best part of Kybella is that the results that you’ll see are permanent even though it’s a nonsurgical treatment. The procedure requires no anesthesia or downtime, so you’ll be able to return to your regular routine on the same day.
Kybella won’t destroy all the fat cells that are present in the neck, and the remaining fat cells can expand. This can cause a bulge under the chin to reoccur. Patients should lead an active lifestyle and avoid weight gain to help maintain their desired results after Kybella treatments.
Benefits of Kybella Double Chin Treatment
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that can smooth and minimize your double chin.
Kybella was developed to reduce the moderate fat in the upper neck and lower chin area. Since it eliminates the selected fat cells, they never return.
The Kybella procedure typically only takes about 15-20 minutes. You may feel the prick of the needle, but it’s otherwise a relatively painless treatment.
Is Kybella Safe?
Kybella has been proven to be a safe and effective treatment for double chins. Kybella should be administered by an experienced medical professional who uses the genuine brand-name product manufactured by Allergan.
Allergan also makes other trusted and widely-used cosmetic products, including Botox. The manufacturer maintains very high safety standards for its products. Kybella has been FDA-approved for several years.
As with any medical procedure, there is a potential for side effects. The most common side effects you may experience include minor swelling, redness, tenderness, and bruising at the injection sites.
You may also experience a sensation of “fullness” around the neck and under the chin as your fat cells absorb the injection. These side effects should subside within a few days after your treatment.
Kybella Treatment
Kybella treatment sessions are minimally invasive and there is no preparation or recovery time involved. After an initial consultation with your medical provider, the providers will map your chin area to target your unwanted fat.
The provider will then inject these areas with the Kybella solution using a small needle. To help ensure your comfort, they may offer a numbing solution or cold compresses to apply to the targeted areas of the body. The treatment process should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
Neck Rejuvenation Results
You may start to see the results of a Kybella treatment within the first few weeks of your first session. Still, your provider may recommend multiple treatment sessions to achieve your desired results.
Most people need at least two Kybella treatments, although four or six sessions may be necessary. These treatments are usually spaced four to eight weeks apart.
With Kybella treatments, you can contour and control your stubborn submental fat and maintain a youthful face with a chiseled jawline.
Kybella Cost
Many prodivers in the Philadelphia area offer Kybella. If you live in Pennsylvania and you’re interested in learning more or are curious about the cost of the treatment, the best option would be to request a consultation with a an experienced Medspa.
Their office can give you a quote based on your aesthetic goals. You may also be able to set up a treatment plan with scheduled payments.

Kybella FAQ
What makes a good candidate for Kybella?
Kybella is a good choice for people who want to get rid of their double chin without surgery. The ideal candidate is someone who has a moderate amount of fat under their chin and good skin elasticity. Kybella is not meant for people who have loose skin or a very large amount of fat under their chin.
Who should not get Kybella?
You should not get Kybella if you have thyroid or other problems with your neck, you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or you are allergic to any of the ingredients in Kybella.
What are the do's and don't's after Kybella?
The best way to maximize your Kybella results is to avoid doing anything that could stretch the skin or cause swelling. This means avoiding rigorous workouts and intense facial massages for at least two weeks after treatment.
You should also avoid sun exposure and any skincare treatments that contain Retin-A, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid. Instead, focus on using gentle skincare products that will soothe and protect your skin.
Finally, it’s also important to drink plenty of water and eat a healthy diet in order to help your body heal and rejuvenate after its Kybella treatment.
Can Kybella work after one treatment?
The answer to this question depends on a variety of factors, such as your unique physiology and where you have the Kybella administered. Some Kybella patients may only need one treatment session to achieve their desired results, while others may need multiple sessions.
What's the difference between Kybella and Liposuction?
Kybella is a non-surgical treatment that uses injections to dissolve fat under the chin, while liposuction is a surgical procedure that removes excess fat from the body. Liposuction is typically used to target areas like the stomach, hips, thighs, and buttocks, while Kybella is specifically designed for reducing chin fat.
Kybella is a less invasive option than liposuction, and it doesn’t require any downtime.
What is recovery like for Kybella injections?
The recovery time for Kybella injections is about two weeks. You may experience some swelling and bruising after the procedure, but both should go away within a few days. You can return to work and resume your normal activities immediately after the injections.
How long do results from Kybella injections last?
The results from Kybella injections usually last several years to a lifetime. However, results may vary from person to person. Some people may need to undergo additional treatments to maintain their results.
