Have you ever avoided taking a selfie because of that pesky double chin sneaking into the shot? It can really take a toll on your confidence, especially when you see it in photos or catch a glimpse in the mirror. You pinch it, work out, and try different angles, but nothing seems to get rid of that extra fullness. But what if there was a way to get rid of your double chin without surgery? Introducing Kybella, the first and only FDA-approved treatment for double chin removal.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to target and eliminate fat cells beneath the chin, also known as the submental area. Unlike surgery, Kybella offers a non-surgical solution to achieving a more sculpted jawline.
Kybella is your answer to a stubborn double chin. The best part? There is no downtime and
How Does Kybella Work?
The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in your body that aids in breaking down dietary fat. When Kybella is injected into the submental area, it disrupts the fat cell membranes, causing them to gradually break down and be eliminated by your body’s natural processes.
This results in a noticeable reduction of fat under the chin, leaving you with a more defined jawline and a slimmer profile. Now, you don’t have to worry about looking fat or finding the best angles in your selfies. No more double chin to draw attention away from what you truly want to highlight – your beauty!
Does Kybella Treatment Hurt?
While the idea of injections sounds scary for many people, the Kybella treatment is actually incredibly tolerable. Some patients feel nothing during Kybella injections while others experience some temporary discomfort or stinging sensation.
The needle used for Kybella is a 30-gauge 0.5-inch long needle. For comparison, a standard blood draw needle is usually 21-25 gauge, so the Kybella needle is much thinner. To reduce discomfort, a topical anesthetic is often applied before the injection to numb the area. Benefits of Kybella
When diet and exercise no longer work, Kybella injections can help. This nonsurgical double chin treatment offers plenty of benefits, including:

Kybella vs. CoolSculpting and Neck Liposuction
Besides Kybella, other popular double chin treatments include CoolSculpting and neck liposuction. These treatments also work for double chin removal, but each has its own advantages and drawbacks. For you to easily compare these three treatments, see the comparison table below.
Kybella | CoolSculpting | Neck Liposuction | |
Procedure | Injection | Non-invasive cooling | Surgical fat removal |
Anesthesia | Local anesthetic | Topical anesthetic | General anesthesia |
Downtime | No downtime required | No downtime required | Several days to weeks |
Results | Visible reduction in 2-4 months | Visible reduction in 2-4 months | Immediate results |
Treatment Time | 15-20 minutes | 35-60 minutes | 1-2 hours |
Number of Treatments | Multiple sessions (typically 2-4) | Multiple sessions (typically 2-4) | One-time procedure |
Permanence of Results | Permanent destruction of fat cells | Permanent destruction of fat cells | Permanent removal of fat cells |
Best for | Moderate fat reduction, good skin elasticity | Mild to moderate fat reduction | Significant fat reduction, loose skin |
As you can see, all three options help reduce fat under the chin, but they differ in terms of invasiveness, downtime, and results. Kybella and CoolSculpting are non-surgical and have minimal downtime, while neck liposuction is a surgical procedure that requires a longer recovery.
Kybella is more targeted, whereas CoolSculpting might not be as effective for larger fat reductions. Neck liposuction gives the quickest results but also carries the most risks.
Ultimately, the best option depends on your personal needs and preferences. We recommend consulting our Kybella-trained medical professionals to help you decide if Kybella is the right option for achieving the sculpted jawline you want.
Does Kybella Work For Men?
Absolutely. Clinical trials have shown Kybella to work for both male and female patients. In fact, 40% of Kybella patients are men. Here’s why Kybella is a very popular double chin treatment for men:
- Removes submental fat permanently. Just like women, men can accumulate fat under the chin due to genetics, weight gain, or loose skin. Kybella effectively targets this submental fat to enhance your chin profile.
- Little to no downtime. Many men prefer to avoid surgery due to downtime and potential risks. Kybella offers a safe and effective alternative for achieving a more sculpted jawline without surgery.
- Addresses concerns about neckties and shirts. Excess fat under the chin can make wearing ties uncomfortable and cause shirts to fit poorly. Kybella can help men achieve a smoother neck profile, making them look and feel their best.
If you’re a man considering Kybella, a consultation with a qualified professional can help determine if it’s the right approach for you. They can discuss your specific concerns, assess your candidacy, and create a personalized treatment plan.
How Much Does Kybella Cost?
The cost of Kybella treatment varies based on your location, your provider’s expertise, and the amount of Kybella you’ll need. Typically, you can expect to pay between $600 and $750 per vial, with total treatment costs ranging from $1,200 to $6,000. Most patients require 2-4 sessions, and Kybella is usually not covered by insurance.
We recommend talking to a Kybella-trained professional about your goals and budget to get a personalized cost estimate. Some clinics offer financing plans to help manage the expense.
