- Kybella Faqs
The surgeons at Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center offer Kybella®, a revolutionary way to decrease moderate to severe amounts of excess fat cells under the chin (submental fat) without surgery. Like the rest of the body, the chin can accumulate pockets of stubborn fat that cannot be reduced by a healthy diet and exercise. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that permanently breaks down and destroys dietary fat beneath the chin.
What is Kybella?
Commonly known as a “double chin,” excess submental fat can be reduced with Kybella injections by a plastic surgeon without the time, expense, and pain of neck liposuction. Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment and nonsurgical procedure that can completely eliminate the subcutaneous fat under the chin. Patients will need multiple Kybella treatments to achieve their desired results, but the change is permanent.

What is the Kybella Procedure Like?

Kybella for Double Chin Vs. Neck Liposuction
Kybella is an alternative to surgical neck liposuction and other surgical procedures for patients who only need to remove fat under the chin. If the patient wants fat removed from the rest of the neck, surgical neck liposuction is the best option. The doctor will help every patient determine their best treatment plan after listening to their concerns and goals in the initial consultation.

Recovery from Kybella Treatment
After the treatment, patients may have temporary swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, or redness in the treatment area. Most side effects improve within several days to a week, though mild swelling can persist a bit longer depending on the individual and the extent of treatment.
Patients can typically return to normal daily activities shortly after their appointment, although it is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol for the first 24 to 48 hours. As the body naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells over time, gradual improvement in the chin contour becomes more visible.
Candidates for Kybella
Most patients looking to address unwanted fat cells underneath the chin are good candidates for Kybella. That said, we recommend you be in good overall health, have realistic expectations of treatment, be a nonsmoker, have good skin elasticity, and follow a healthy lifestyle.
