If you have a “double chin” that leaves you feeling uncomfortable about your appearance, you’re not alone. This type of excess fat is among the most difficult to correct, whether by diet, exercise, or by surgical methods like liposuction.
Kybella is a first-of-its-kind, FDA-approved cosmetic injectable that reduces submental fat — otherwise known as a double chin. The most amazing thing about KYBELLA™ is it works entirely without surgery. No incisions or sutures are required. No surgery or liposuction is involved.
Its active ingredient is a man-made formulation of deoxycholic acid, a compound that occurs naturally in the human body. The function of deoxycholic acid is to absorb and eliminate fat cells.
KYBELLA™ requires multiple treatments, depending on the heaviness of the chin and neck area. Treatments are given at our Allentown Office approximately 10-12 weeks apart and normally take only around 30 minutes each treatment.
During each visit, we first cleanse your chin and neck area. A topical anesthetic can be applied if you desire. We then make a series of very small injections of KYBELLA™ below your chin. No incisions or sutures are required. No surgery or liposuction is involved.

Most patients return to work and social activities right after a treatment. Their normal exercise routines can go on uninterrupted.
As is true of other injectable treatments, you may experience some temporary swelling, redness, bruising, tenderness, or numbness around the treatment area for around 2 weeks.
Since KYBELLA™ actually destroys fat cells, the results of the treatment are permanent. This is because once the fat cells are destroyed, they cannot store or accumulate fat.
Unlike other injectable cosmetic treatments, no re-treatment is expected after optimal results with KYBELLA™.
