How does KYBELLA work? 

KYBELLA is an injectable treatment that reduces submental fullness, or a double chin. The formula contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a substance that occurs in the body and helps break down fat. When injected under the chin, KYBELLA destroys fat cells, which are then removed by the body over time. Once these cells are removed, they cannot come back. 

Patients often choose KYBELLA because it provides noticeable results without surgery or extended downtime. 

Is KYBELLA safe? 

Many of our patients ask, "Is KYBELLA safe?" The answer is yes, when it's administered by a trained and experienced provider. At Atomic Beauty in Frisco, TX, Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Najera carefully assess each patient to determine candidacy and administer KYBELLA using precise techniques. While mild swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treatment area is normal, these side effects typically resolve within a few days to weeks. 

Can KYBELLA be combined with other treatments? 

Because KYBELLA specifically reduces a double chin, it's often paired with other injectables like wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers. For example:  

• BOTOX: Softens wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as frown lines in the forehead or Crow's feet around the eyes. 
• Dermal fillers: Restore lost volume in areas like the cheeks, lips, or jawline for a more youthful look. 

Combining treatments allows patients to address multiple concerns at once, from stubborn fat to wrinkles and volume loss. 

How to get rid of neck fat and achieve a defined jawline 

If you want to know how to get rid of neck fat, KYBELLA is an excellent option. However, achieving a defined jawline may require a combination approach. While KYBELLA removes unwanted fat, dermal fillers can add structure along the jaw. During a consultation, we will evaluate your features and recommend a customized plan to create natural-looking, harmonious results. 

What to expect during treatment 

A typical KYBELLA session takes about 20 — 30 minutes. The number of injections and sessions needed depends on the amount of fat in the area and your desired outcome. Most patients see noticeable improvements after 2 – 4 treatments spaced several weeks apart. If combined with BOTOX or fillers, these can often be performed in the same appointment for convenience.
