Kybella: Say Goodbye To The Double Chin

Even a small amount of excess fat under the chin can affect your confidence and overall facial profile. Commonly known as a “double chin,” this fat can be caused by genetics, weight fluctuations, or aging. At Modern Aesthetics in Roseville, Walnut Creek, and Yuba City, CA, Dr. Shahzad Anwar offers a nonsurgical solution to tackle this stubborn fat and help you achieve a slimmer, more defined jawline: KYBELLA.

What Is KYBELLA?

KYBELLA is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fat (fat under the chin). Its active ingredient, a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, works by mimicking a natural substance in your body that breaks down and absorbs fat cells.

When injected beneath the chin, KYBELLA gradually destroys fat cells. Once these cells are gone, they cannot reform, leaving you with a lasting, contoured profile.

Benefits of KYBELLA

Many patients in Roseville, Walnut Creek, and Yuba City love KYBELLA because it offers:

• Noninvasive fat reduction without surgery
• Minimal to no recovery time
• Quick, convenient treatments that fit your schedule
• Visible results that improve your jawline and profile

Who Is an Ideal Candidate

KYBELLA is perfect for individuals who:

• Have excess fat in the upper neck (submental area)
• Are near a healthy, stable weight
• Have fat that resists diet and exercise
• Want a non-surgical alternative to procedures like neck liposuction

While KYBELLA works best on small to moderate pockets of fat, larger fat deposits may require surgical options for optimal results.

How Are KYBELLA Injections Performed?

KYBELLA is a quick in-office procedure:

• The area is cleaned, and numbing ointment is applied if desired
• Multiple small injections target the fat under your chin
• The procedure typically takes about 15 minutes

Some patients achieve their goals with a single session, while others may require multiple treatments spaced 3–4 weeks apart.

What to Expect After Treatment

KYBELLA requires no general anesthesia, so you can return to your normal routine immediately. Temporary side effects may include:

• Swelling or bruising under the chin
• Mild numbness

These usually resolve within a few days. Severe symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, facial muscle weakness, or uneven facial expressions should be reported immediately.

Because the destroyed fat cells do not return, results are long-lasting. However, remaining fat cells can grow if weight increases, so maintaining a stable weight is essential.

Results You Can Expect

With KYBELLA, patients enjoy:

• A slimmer, more contoured neck and jawline
• A tighter, defined neckline
• A boost in confidence with a natural-looking appearance
