Kybella (Allergan) — deoxycholic acid injection
How It Works
How Kybella Works
See Beyond Beauty uses Kybella's deoxycholic acid to permanently eliminate submental fat. The injected acid triggers adipocyte lysis, rupturing the phospholipid membrane that holds each fat cell together.
This membrane disruption releases the stored fat contents, which your body's lymphatic system naturally metabolizes and eliminates over the following weeks. Once destroyed, those fat cells cannot regenerate.
Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable specifically designed for submental fat reduction. Our medspa often incorporates Kybella into our comprehensive facial contouring approach — combining it with Botox masseter slimming and jawline fillers for a defined, sculpted profile.

Your Treatment
What to Expect
See Beyond Beauty guides you through each stage of your Kybella treatment with precision and care.
Profile Assessment
Your provider examines your submental area from multiple angles, assessing the volume of fat and skin laxity. We discuss realistic outcomes and the number of sessions likely needed.
Treatment Mapping
Your provider marks a precise grid of injection points beneath your chin using a customized template. This ensures even distribution and optimal results.
Injection
Kybella is injected through multiple small injections into the submental fat. Each session takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Recovery & Monitoring
Swelling is expected and most pronounced in the first 48 to 72 hours. We schedule follow-up assessments to monitor your progress and determine if additional sessions are needed.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Kybella sessions will I need?
Most patients see optimal results with 2 to 4 sessions, though up to 6 are possible. Your provider will assess your progress at each visit. Many patients notice visible improvement after just 2 treatments.
Is the fat reduction permanent?
Yes. Kybella destroys fat cells, and destroyed fat cells cannot regenerate. As long as you maintain a stable weight, your results are permanent.
Why is there so much swelling?
Don't let the temporary swelling discourage you — it means the deoxycholic acid is actively triggering adipocyte lysis beneath your chin. The swelling peaks at 48 to 72 hours and gradually resolves over 1 to 2 weeks. Many patients describe it as looking like a bullfrog temporarily, but this inflammation is your body processing the destroyed fat cells.
Can Kybella tighten loose skin under my chin?
Kybella reduces fat but does not tighten skin. If you have significant skin laxity, your provider may recommend combining Kybella with a skin-tightening treatment like FaceTite, Ultherapy, or Morpheus8 for optimal results.
Is Kybella painful?
You will feel a stinging or burning sensation during injection that subsides within minutes. We use ice and comfort measures to minimize discomfort. Most patients find the brief discomfort well worth the permanent results.
