Refine Your Jawline Without Surgery

Kybella Lafayette, LA

A sculpted jawline is a hallmark of a youthful, well-defined profile. However, stubborn fat beneath the chin — or a double chin — can persist despite diet and exercise. Kybella® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to permanently dissolve submental fat, giving you a sleeker, more contoured jawline without surgery.

At Delatte Plastic Surgery, Skin Care, and Wellness, we specialize in customized non-surgical contouring treatments that deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results. If you want a more defined chin, a sculpted jawline, or an overall slimmer appearance, Kybella can help you achieve your ideal profile without the downtime of surgery.

Kybella at a Glance

  • Ideal For: Reducing a double chin and refining jawline definition
  • Treatment Time: 20–30 minutes
  • Downtime: Minimal, with mild swelling for a few days
  • Results: Visible in 4–6 weeks, with continued improvement
  • Number of Sessions: Typically 2–4 treatments for optimal results

A Sleek, Sculpted Profile

What is Kybella? Lafayette, LA

Kybella is a non-surgical injectable treatment that breaks down and eliminates fat cells under the chin using deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down dietary fat. Once injected, Kybella permanently destroys fat cells, which are then naturally flushed from the body, revealing a slimmer, more contoured profile.

This innovative treatment is an excellent option for patients who want to reduce stubborn chin fat without liposuction or invasive surgery.

Small Enhancements, Big Impact

What is the Kybella treatment like? Lafayette, LA

Kybella is a quick, in-office treatment that typically takes 20–30 minutes.

The procedure includes:

  1. Consultation & Evaluation of the Treatment Area – Your injector will map out precise injection points for even fat reduction.
  2. Numbing for Comfort – A topical numbing cream or cold pack is applied to minimize discomfort.
  3. Precise Injections – Kybella is injected into targeted areas using a fine needle. Most patients feel a mild warmth or tingling sensation during treatment.
  4. Post-Treatment Care – Mild swelling and redness may occur but resolve within a few days.

There is minimal downtime after a Kybella treatment, and most patients return to work or daily activities quickly. However, as Kybella dissolves fat cells, some swelling is expected for 3–7 days.
