A double chin can make your face look heavier and affect your self-confidence. Fortunately, there’s a non-surgical solution designed to target stubborn fat under the chin. The Kybella injection is an FDA-approved treatment that helps reduce submental fullness, giving you a more sculpted and youthful jawline. Summit Medical Spa offers professional care to ensure safe, effective, and natural-looking results.
Understanding Double Chin
Submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin, occurs when fat accumulates beneath the chin. Factors such as genetics, aging, and weight gain can contribute to this condition. While a healthy lifestyle helps overall body fat, the fat under the chin is often resistant to exercise or diet alone. Kybella® offers a targeted solution for permanent fat reduction in this area.
How Kybella® Works
Kybella® contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down fat cells. When injected under the chin, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by the body. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they cannot return, providing lasting results. Treatments are carefully planned and administered to ensure precision, safety, and effective contouring.
Benefits of Kybella®
- Non-Surgical: No incisions or general anesthesia required.
- Targeted Fat Reduction: Specifically reduces submental fat for a more defined jawline.
- Permanent Results: Destroyed fat cells do not return.
- Enhanced Confidence: A sculpted chin improves facial balance and boosts self-esteem.
What to Expect During Treatment
During your initial consultation, a licensed medical professional assesses your chin and discusses your goals. The treatment involves multiple small injections beneath the chin. Most patients require 2 to 6 sessions spaced about a month apart, depending on the amount of fat. Visible improvement is often seen after 2 to 4 treatments.
Safety and Side Effects
Kybella® is FDA-approved and safe when administered by trained professionals. Temporary side effects may include swelling, redness, or mild discomfort, which usually resolve within a few days. Your specialist will guide you on pre- and post-treatment care to ensure comfort and optimal results.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
Kybella® is ideal for adults with moderate to severe submental fullness who want a non-surgical solution for a more defined chin. A medical consultation will determine if you are a good candidate and how many sessions are needed for optimal results.
Recovery and Results
Most patients can return to daily activities immediately after treatment. Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur but typically resolves within a few days. The results are permanent since the destroyed fat cells cannot store fat again. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle enhances and preserves the treatment’s effects.
