Define Your Jawline with Kybella

Kybella is an innovative, FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to target and eliminate unwanted fat beneath the chin, commonly known as a “double chin.” Composed of a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid—a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in breaking down and absorbing dietary fat—Kybella effectively dissolves fat cells in the treated area.


This non-surgical solution addresses common concerns such as fullness under the chin, lack of jawline definition, and self-consciousness about one's profile, helping patients achieve a slimmer, more contoured appearance without the need for invasive procedures or prolonged downtime.

Benefits Of Kybella

Non-Surgical

Fat Reduction

Kybella offers a safe and effective alternative to surgery for reducing submental fullness, allowing you to achieve a more defined chin and jawline without incisions, anesthesia, or lengthy recovery time.

Permanent

Results

Once Kybella destroys the targeted fat cells, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. This means that, after completing your treatment series and maintaining a stable weight, your results are long-lasting and do not require ongoing maintenance.

and Profile

By eliminating the appearance of a double chin, Kybella can dramatically enhance your facial profile and jawline. Many patients experience a noticeable increase in confidence and satisfaction with their overall appearance.

What to Expect During Your Kybella Treatment Process?

At Guy Trengove-Jones MD, PC, the Kybella treatment process begins with a thorough consultation to assess your goals and determine if you’re a suitable candidate. Once you’re ready to begin, the area beneath your chin is carefully mapped and cleansed to prepare for the procedure. Kybella is then precisely injected into targeted areas using a fine needle, ensuring accuracy and consistency in each session.


The injection process itself typically takes only 15 to 20 minutes, making it convenient to fit into a busy schedule. Most patients benefit from a series of two to four treatment sessions, spaced about a month apart, depending on the amount of fat being addressed and individual response to the medication. As the process unfolds, you’ll notice a gradual reduction in fullness under the chin with each session, leading to a more contoured jawline and an enhanced facial profile without surgery or significant downtime.

Pre & Post Care Tips

Proper pre- and post-care can help you achieve the best possible results from your Kybella treatment at Guy Trengove-Jones MD, PC. Before your appointment, it’s recommended to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin and fish oil, to minimize the risk of bruising. Refraining from alcohol and certain anti-inflammatory drugs a few days prior can also be beneficial. Arriving with a clean, makeup-free face helps ensure a smooth procedure.


After your treatment, applying a cold compress as directed can provide comfort. It’s a good idea to keep your head elevated when resting for the first night. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun or heat exposure for at least 24 hours after your session to minimize swelling. Gentle skincare and patience as your body naturally processes the treated fat will support optimal results. If you have any questions or concerns, our team is always available to guide you through your aftercare journey.

  • Who is an ideal candidate for Kybella?

    Kybella is best suited for adults who are bothered by moderate to severe fullness under the chin and prefer a non-surgical solution. The ideal candidate has healthy skin elasticity and realistic expectations about the outcome. It’s an excellent option for those who have persistent submental fat that does not respond to diet or exercise. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your anatomy and aesthetic goals to confirm if Kybella is right for you.

  • How is Kybella different from other double chin treatments?

    Unlike liposuction or surgical neck lift procedures, Kybella does not require incisions, anesthesia, or significant downtime. It works by injecting a synthetic deoxycholic acid directly into the fat beneath the chin, which gradually destroys the targeted fat cells. Over time, your body naturally metabolizes the treated fat, resulting in a slimmer and more defined jawline. This unique, minimally invasive approach sets Kybella apart from more traditional fat-reduction methods.

  • Will the results from Kybella look natural?

    One of the primary advantages of Kybella is its ability to create subtle, natural-looking improvements to the chin and jawline. As the body gradually eliminates the treated fat cells, the changes appear progressively, avoiding sudden or drastic shifts in appearance. This allows the enhancements to blend seamlessly with your facial features. A customized treatment plan and skilled injector are key to achieving balanced results that enhance your natural beauty without looking overdone or artificial.
