KYBELLA®
KYBELLA® in Dallas – Target & Destroy Fat For Good
Have you ever had the unpleasant experience of reversing the camera on your phone, and realizing how many chins you have from the wrong angle?
A little extra fat on the chin is genetic, and actually has little to do with how thin you are. Excess fat under your chin can make you look less toned or healthy than you really are. It affects the way your profile and whole face looks, both in photos and real life.
While it's usually tough to target fat — KYBELLA® makes it possible. KYBELLA® injections destroy fat cells PERMANENTLY, so even if you gain weight over time, the treatment area will still look significantly better than before. KYBELLA® is FDA-approved to reduce that under-chin fullness, and replace it with a clean jawline and stunning profile. Not only does this noninvasive treatment destroy fat, but it also tightens the skin. Your skin will snap upwards towards your chin after treatment, so there’s no loose skin left behind.
There’s so much more to talk about with KYBELLA®, like using it on the tummy or love handles. When you’re ready to book your appointment for KYBELLA® in Dallas, we’d be happy to help you - just call (214) 948-8010.
What is KYBELLA® and How Does it Work?
KYBELLA® is an injection that destroys fat cells. The active ingredient is Deoxycholic acid, which is the same substance that your liver and bladder release to digest dietary fat. Scientists have figured out how to put this fat-dissolving acid into an injectable form so that we can target fat anywhere.
KYBELLA® contains a synthetic form of the acid, which breaks apart the cell membranes and allows the fat cells to drain out. The lymphatic system takes care of the rest, safely disposing of the fat cells over the following weeks. As your body does its thing, you will begin see a noticeable difference in your under-chin area.
About 4-5 weeks after KYBELLA®, microphages come into the area and stimulate nucleogenesis (the skin retraction and tightening process). While it doesn’t produce the results of a facelift, it allows your jawline to snap back up after the fat dissolves.
Can You Lose Weight with KYBELLA® Treatment?
Can KYBELLA® help me lose some weight? It is not a weight loss procedure, so you shouldn’t expect to lose 10 pounds, but it does target and destroy fat. It can help you target fat in the chin, neck, jowls, face, and beyond. After a single treatment, patients can see as much as twenty to thirty percent fat reduction!
KYBELLA® Results You'll Love
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Most patients need 2-6 sessions to achieve significant change with KYBELLA®. The number of sessions you need will depend on the amount of fat present, the number of target areas, and how your body responds to the acid.
The Benefits of KYBELLA® in Dallas
Here are just a few reasons why our patients love KYBELLA®.
-
Target your Treatment Area — If you’re genetically predisposed to a double chin, it’s one of the last places you’ll lose weight, and you may never achieve that defined jawline you really want – without KYBELLA®. Your doctor can directly target the stubborn area with injections.
-
Results are Forever — So many treatments (like BOTOX and fillers) demand maintenance every 3-4 months. KYBELLA®, on the other hand, requires such a small commitment – after just 2-3 sessions, you’ll be done with KYBELLA® forever. With each session, you’re building upon your treatment because all results are permanent. That double chin is never going to come back completely, even if you gain weight, because that fat pad has been permanently dissolved, and can no longer store or accumulate fat.
-
Tighten the Skin — KYBELLA® encourages the body’s natural processes, including skin tightening. Patients who are candidates for KYBELLA® will see their skin bounce back after treatment, so there’s no sagging skin left behind.
-
Skip the Surgery — KYBELLA® is an awesome addition to other noninvasive treatment options. Whether you want to eliminate the stubborn fat on your double chin, above the knees or on the belly, your treatment will be fast and simple, with no anesthesia or recovery necessary.

Your Questions, Answered.
Is There Downtime, and When Will I See Results?
When it comes to swelling, some patients find they look like a bullfrog after treatment, while others just look a little fuller under the face, like they gained a couple of pounds. The swelling should last 7-10 days.
You might want to avoid certain situations or activities due to the swelling, but there is nothing medical holding you back from working, running errands or going out, so feel free to get back to normal life as soon as you feel comfortable.
To make your recovery as seamless as possible:
-
Use ice on the area.
-
Take Tylenol for pain relief.
-
Avoid highly salty foods.
-
Sleep with the head slightly upwards.
You’ll see results about 8 weeks after treatment. Although results are subtle, you will see a difference after just one KYBELLA® treatment.
Are There Any Potential Side Effects?
After your KYBELLA® treatment, you might experience:
-
Swelling
-
Bruising
-
Firm feeling
-
Muscle weakness
-
Numb sensation
All of these side effects should resolve themselves within a few days to a few weeks. Actually, swelling and burning are very good signs – that means the fat cells are bursting and dying.
What is the KYBELLA® Experience Like?
The Consultation: First and foremost, we need to find out if you’re a good candidate for KYBELLA®. If you have too much fat, liposuction or a neck lift may be better options. That being said, KYBELLA® is perfect for a small localized double chin.
Prep: You should avoid anti-inflammatory medications like Ibuprofen and Motrin 2-3 days before KYBELLA®, and a few days after. You WANT that inflammatory response to occur, because it means the fat cells are dying off and being released from the body.
Treatment: When you come in for your KYBELLA® treatment:
-
We will clean the area and apply ice for a couple of minutes.
-
We will create a grid on the areas we want to address.
-
We’ll pinch the area as we administer the injections (about .1 - .2 ccs of medication in one area).
-
We administer the injections quickly, in about 2 minutes or less in order to minimize the stinging.
Comfort: Is the KYBELLA® treatment process comfortable? Many of our patients are pleasantly surprised by how little pain these tiny needles cause. The needle is typically 30-G or smaller, which is about an 0.5-inch needle. While the injections don’t hurt, you might experience a burning sensation as the acid sinks in; however, the lidocaine in the KYBELLA® injections will ease this sensation.
