Kybella
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 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.
Kybella is a quick, in-office treatment that typically takes 20–30 minutes.
The procedure includes:
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.
Kybella offers a robust, non-surgical solution for reducing unwanted fat and enhancing facial contours. Key benefits include:
At Delatte Plastic Surgery, Skin Care, and Wellness, we create customized Kybella treatment plans to achieve natural, refined results that enhance your unique facial structure.
If you struggle with stubborn under-chin fat that won’t go away despite a healthy diet and exercise, Kybella may be the ideal treatment for you. Ideal candidates are healthy adults with mild to moderate fullness under the chin who want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
Patients with good skin elasticity will achieve the best results. Those with concerns about skin laxity after treatment may benefit from combining Kybella with skin tightening therapies like Morpheus8.

Recovery is quick and manageable, with mild swelling being the most common side effect.
Here’s what to expect:
Most patients require 2–4 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, for optimal results.
Results appear gradually as your body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells, with noticeable improvements in 4–6 weeks.
Most patients need 2-4 treatments, but smaller areas may require fewer. Once fat cells are destroyed and eliminated, they do not return, making Kybella a long-term solution for submental fat reduction. You can expect a more defined jawline, a slimmer chin, and a contoured, youthful profile that enhances your natural beauty.

Yes! Kybella pairs beautifully with dermal fillers, Botox, or skin-tightening treatments like Morpheus8 to enhance facial contouring.
Kybella is an excellent non-surgical alternative for small areas of fat. However, liposuction may be a better option for larger fat deposits or those seeking immediate results.
Kybella is FDA-approved for the double chin but may be used off-label in other small areas of stubborn fat.
