A double chin can be frustrating, especially when it doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. Kybella® offers a non-surgical way to permanently reduce fat under the chin and reveal a more sculpted profile over time. With expert cosmetic dermatology care, you can achieve results that look natural and feel like you.
At Manhattan Dermatology, your Kybella treatment is performed by leading board-certified dermatologists who specialize in natural-looking results. With two convenient New York City locations and a team of NYU dermatology professors, you can feel confident you’re choosing a practice known for precision, safety, and artistry.
What Is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that targets and destroys fat cells under the chin. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a substance your body naturally produces to help break down fat. When injected into the submental area, Kybella breaks down fat cells, and your body gradually clears them away over the following weeks.
Once those fat cells are destroyed, they cannot store or accumulate fat again, making Kybella a long-term solution for double chin reduction — as long as your weight remains stable.
Benefits of Kybella for Double Chin Reduction
Kybella is popular because it can create real contour changes without surgery, incisions, or liposuction.
Benefits of Kybella may include:
- Non-surgical fat reduction under the chin
- More defined jawline and profile
- No downtime required for many patients
- Gradual, natural-looking results
- Permanent fat cell destruction in the treated area
- Boost in confidence, especially in photos and side views
Many patients also appreciate that Kybella can be done in-office in under an hour.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella?
Kybella may be a good option if you:
- Have mild to moderate fullness under the chin
- Want to avoid surgery or liposuction
- Are bothered by a double chin in photos or from the side
- Have good skin elasticity (important for a smooth result)
- Prefer gradual improvement over time
- Are generally healthy and not pregnant or breastfeeding
During your consultation at Manhattan Dermatology, your dermatologist will assess the amount of fullness and your skin quality to determine if Kybella is the best fit. If you have significant laxity or a larger amount of fat, your provider may recommend other cosmetic dermatology services to help you reach your goals.
What to Expect During a Kybella Treatment
Kybella injections are quick, simple, and performed right in the office. Your provider will map out the treatment area and use precise injection points to ensure even fat reduction.
Here’s what the appointment typically includes:
- A review of your goals and facial profile
- Cleansing and optional numbing for comfort
- A series of small injections under the chin
- Post-treatment instructions to reduce swelling
Most treatments take about 20–30 minutes, and you can return to normal activities afterward.
