Kybella® Overview
If you are looking to reduce a double chin without surgery, Kybella® offers a proven, nonsurgical solution. At Barber Facial Plastic Surgery in Mobile, Alabama, we provide expert Kybella® treatments to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin.
Led by Henry Barber, MD, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, our practice focuses exclusively on facial aesthetics and advanced injectable treatments.
What Is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce fat beneath the chin, commonly referred to as a “double chin.” The active ingredient works by breaking down fat cells in the treated area, which are then naturally eliminated by the body.
Once destroyed, those fat cells cannot store or accumulate fat again, resulting in long-term improvement in chin contour.
Benefits of Kybella® in Mobile, Alabama
Patients choose Kybella® because it offers:
- Non-surgical double chin reduction
- No incisions or general anesthesia
- Minimal downtime
- Gradual, natural-looking contour improvement
- Long-lasting fat reduction
Many patients experience visible contouring of their chin profile with two to four treatments, depending on the amount of submental fat and desired results.
What to Expect During Treatment
Kybella® is administered through a series of small injections beneath the chin. Treatment sessions are typically brief and performed in-office.
Some swelling is expected after treatment, as the medication works to break down fat cells. Most patients resume normal activities shortly after their appointment. Gradual improvement is seen over several weeks as the body processes and eliminates the treated fat.
