Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable for submental fat (double chin) that improves the appearance of double chins by permanently destroying fat cells. Kybella is a man-made form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring acid that helps the body absorb fat. Kybella destroys the membranes of the cells that store fat. Once these cells are destroyed, they can no longer store fat. The body’s natural healing and elimination processes take over, and in about six to eight weeks, your fat deposits are dramatically reduced or eliminated.

If you can pinch it, you can Kybella it! Kybella may also be used off label anwhere on the body you can pinch fat, like bra fat, inner thighs, arms, banana rolls, and lower abdomen.

In clinical trials used by the FDA, even those patients who gained weight after Kybella injectables did not see their fatty areas return to their submental area (double chin).
