Why Does a Double Chin Form?

Double chins—also called submental fullness—can appear due to genetics, aging, or weight changes. Even people at a healthy weight may carry extra fat under the chin. Unfortunately, this area is often resistant to diet and exercise. That’s where Kybella comes in.

How Kybella Works

Kybella is made of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down fat. When injected into the submental area, it destroys fat cells so your body can eliminate them. Once those cells are gone, they don’t come back—making Kybella a permanent solution for double chin reduction (as long as your weight stays stable). We use Health Canada–approved Kybella for safe, effective results.

Common Treatment Areas

  • Fat under the chin (double chin)
  • Mild jawline fat (in select cases)

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil) for 5–7 days if approved by your doctor
  • Refrain from alcohol 24 hours before your appointment
  • Come with a clean face (no makeup, lotions, or skincare)
  • Let us know if you’ve had any cosmetic treatments in the chin/jaw area recently

Aftercare Advice

  • Expect some swelling, firmness, or mild tenderness for a few days
  • Sleep with your head elevated the first night
  • Avoid touching or massaging the area
  • Skip hot yoga, saunas, or intense workouts for 48 hours
  • Apply cold compresses as needed for swelling

Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella?

Kybella is a great option if you:

  • Are bothered by fat under your chin
  • Want a non-surgical, permanent solution
  • Are at or near your ideal weight
  • Have good skin elasticity

Note: Kybella is not recommended for clients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have significant loose skin or medical conditions affecting healing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kybella

How many Kybella sessions will I need?

Most clients need 2 to 4 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, depending on how much fat is being treated.

Does Kybella hurt?

You may feel a stinging or warming sensation during the injection. We apply a numbing cream beforehand to keep you comfortable.

Is the fat gone forever?

Yes! Once Kybella destroys fat cells, they are gone for good. As long as your weight remains stable, results are permanent.

Will I need time off?

There’s usually some swelling and tenderness for a few days, but most people go back to their regular routine the same day or the next.

Can I combine Kybella with other treatments?

Absolutely. Many clients combine Kybella with TempSure Envi (radiofrequency skin tightening) for more definition under the chin and along the jawline.
