Kybella® in Newport Beach, CA
Kybella Treatment
Excess fat under the chin, commonly referred to as a double chin, can be difficult to eliminate through diet and exercise alone. Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to permanently reduce submental fat, improving the contours of the jawline and neck for a slimmer, more defined appearance.
At New Look Skin Center in Newport Beach, we offer Kybella® injections as a non-surgical solution for moderate to severe under-chin fullness. Whether your double chin is due to genetics, weight gain, or aging, Kybella® provides a safe and effective way to eliminate stubborn fat without the need for surgery or liposuction.
How Kybella® Works
Deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring chemical in the body, is an ingredient in Kybella® that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. Kybella® targets and kills fat cells in the submental region, stopping them from storing fat in the future. The body naturally breaks down and eliminates the fat cells once they are removed, which results in a long-lasting decrease in body fat.
Most patients require multiple treatment sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, for optimal results. The amount of submental fat and desired contouring determine how many vials and sessions are required. Since the fat cells that have been removed do not reappear, no additional treatments are required after the intended outcomes are obtained.

FAQ
How many Kybella® treatments are needed?
The number of treatments varies based on the amount of submental fat and individual goals. To achieve the desired effects, most patients need two to four therapy sessions separated into four to six weeks. The precise number of sessions required for ideal contouring will be ascertained after a consultation.
Is Kybella® permanent?
Kybella® provides permanent fat reduction by destroying fat cells, preventing them from storing or accumulating fat in the future. Once the fat is eliminated, it does not return, though maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is recommended to prevent new fat accumulation in untreated areas. Patients who gain significant weight after treatment may notice a return of fullness due to new fat deposits in the area.
What can I expect during and after Kybella® treatment?
Kybella® treatment involves a series of small injections under the chin, and the procedure typically lasts 15 to 20 minutes. Patients might experience mild swelling, redness, and tenderness, which peaks within 48 hours and gradually subsides over the next few days. The body gradually reveals a thinner, more defined jawline as the damaged fat cells are naturally eliminated over the course of the following four to six weeks.
Is there downtime after Kybella® injections?
While there is minimal downtime, some patients experience temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness at the injection site. These side effects usually resolve within one to two weeks, with the most noticeable swelling occurring in the first few days post-treatment. Patients can resume normal activities immediately, but it is recommended to avoid intense exercise, excessive heat, and alcohol for 24-48 hours to minimize swelling.
Who is a good candidate for Kybella®?
Kybella® is ideal for healthy adults with moderate to severe submental fat who want a non-surgical solution to reduce a double chin. It is best suited for patients with good skin elasticity, as it primarily removes fat but does not significantly tighten loose skin. Individuals with excess skin laxity may benefit from combining Kybella® with skin-tightening treatments for enhanced results.
Can Kybella® be combined with other treatments?
Kybella® can be combined with other aesthetic treatments to further enhance jawline definition. Many patients choose to pair Kybella® with radiofrequency skin tightening, microneedling, or dermal fillers to address loose skin or improve overall facial contours. Our professionals will create a personalized treatment plan during a consultation to assist you get the best possible outcomes.
