Enjoy a Sleeker Jawline without Surgery

Submental fullness—or a double chin—can be frustrating and difficult to address with diet and exercise alone. Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable that targets this area without surgery, downtime, or general anesthesia. At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, we offer Kybella treatments for women and men looking to define the jawline and enhance facial harmony with a safe, proven option.

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down dietary fat. When injected into the fat under the chin, it dissolves fat cells, which are metabolized and eliminated by the body. Once those cells are gone, they can no longer store fat, making results long-lasting with proper maintenance.

Kybella is an ideal solution for people seeking facial contouring without surgery. Benefits include:

  • Long-Lasting Results: Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return.
  • Quick Treatment Sessions: Most appointments take 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Customizable Plans: Number of sessions tailored to your anatomy and goals.
  • No Downtime: Resume most normal activities immediately after treatment.

Is Kybella Right for You?

Kybella may be a good choice if you:

  • Have mild to moderate fat under the chin
  • Prefer a nonsurgical alternative to liposuction
  • Are at a stable weight but still struggle with submental fullness
  • Want permanent results without the recovery of surgery

Patients with significant skin laxity or excess fat may benefit more from surgical neck contouring or complementary treatments. We’ll discuss your best options during your consultation.

What to Expect During Treatment

1. Consultation

Your visit starts with a personalized consultation, during which we evaluate your facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and medical history. We’ll then determine if Kybella is appropriate and create a custom plan, including how many sessions may be needed.

2. Treatment

Kybella is administered via a series of small injections under the chin. Most patients receive between 20 and 50 injections in a single session. A topical anesthetic or ice may be applied for comfort. Treatment typically takes 20 to 30 minutes.

3. Recovery

Downtime is minimal, though you may experience swelling, tenderness, bruising, or numbness in the treatment area for several days. These effects are temporary and a sign that the treatment is actively working.

When Will I See the Results?

Visible improvement usually begins within 4 to 6 weeks of your first session, with full results developing after a series of 2 to 6 treatments spaced about a month apart. Once the fat cells are eliminated, they will not return—so long as your weight remains stable, results are considered permanent.

Complementary Treatments

To create a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan, Kybella can be combined with other non-surgical treatments, such as BOTOX, dermal fillers, or skin tightening procedures.

If you want to address loose skin, volume loss, or texture concerns alongside chin fat reduction, we’ll design a plan tailored to you.
