Kybella will help to decrease the amount of fatty tissue under the chin. People with a moderate to severe amount of fullness under their chin are a good candidate for Kybella.
Kybella is not intended for use in areas other than the submental area (under the chin).
It does not tighten the skin, therefore, people who have excessive loose skin under their chin area are not a good candidate for Kybella.
Fatty tissue under the muscles located under the chin cannot be treated with Kybella.
Treatment with Kybella starts with a consultation to assess if you are a good candidate. During your treatment, the doctor will apply a topical numbing cream to decrease any pain. Next, the doctor will map out the treatment area and administer Kybella via small injections.
