Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Kybella.

Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, which breaks down fat cells beneath the chin. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer accumulate fat, providing long-lasting results.

Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. An anesthetic cream can be applied beforehand to enhance comfort.

The number of sessions varies based on individual fat deposits. Generally, 2 to 4 treatments may be required for optimal results.

Patients may experience swelling, bruising, or tenderness after treatment. These effects are temporary and generally resolve within a few days.

Common side effects include swelling, bruising, and redness. Serious effects are rare but should be discussed with the treatment provider.

Results can typically be seen within a few weeks of treatment as the body metabolizes the dissolved fat cells, with full results visible after a few months.
