Model

Fat accumulation along the upper neck and jawline can create the unwanted appearance of a double chin.

This submental fullness can rob you of the attractive facial shape and definition you are looking to achieve. Chin fat is one of the most difficult areas of fat to eliminate through diet and exercise, and even patients in great shape can suffer from submental fullness. KYBELLA® is a new injectable that allows you to reduce your double chin without surgery and with no downtime.

KYBELLA® Process

KYBELLA® uses deoxycholic acid, which aids in the breakdown and absorption of fat. KYBELLA® is administered through an injection into the submental area and breaks down fat over a period of a few weeks. Once destroyed, these fat cells can no longer be stored or accumulated. Multiple treatments are often required to achieve your desired levels of fat reduction.

Who Can Benefit?

Excess Fat

KYBELLA® is FDA approved for the treatment of excess submental fat. Its unique formula breaks down fat cells, which your body then naturally eliminates. Fat removal with KYBELLA® is permanent, helping you achieve a slimmer facial appearance for longer periods of time.

Good Skin Elasticity

KYBELLA® is designed to treat patients with good elasticity since it targets only fat cells, not skin. Having good skin elasticity ensures that you aren’t left with any flabby tissue under the chin once the fat has been eliminated. If you have laxity of the neck or jawline, discuss your other treatment options during your consultation.

Limited Time

More people are choosing KYBELLA® because it provides them with the results they want without the lengthy recovery period associated with surgical procedures. If you have a busy, active lifestyle that isn’t conducive to taking days off, KYBELLA® may be the perfect treatment for you.

Addressing Your Concerns

Recovery

KYBELLA® treatments don’t require any lengthy recovery period. However, they can cause submental swelling that can last up to one week. You aren’t required to limit your physical activities, but you should plan properly before any major events. Avoid direct sun exposure for several days, as this can irritate the treatment area.

Scars

A fine needle is used to inject KYBELLA® under the chin, which doesn’t leave any visible scarring or marks.

Cost

KYBELLA® is priced per vial, and multiple vials may be needed for your treatment. Additionally, most patients require two to four treatments to achieve their ideal results. Schedule a consultation to determine your specific needs. A detailed quote is provided during this process.

Pain

A topical numbing cream is applied before your injection. You may experience some minor discomfort, similar to a pinching sensation. This only lasts several seconds and is manageable for most patients.

KYBELLA® FAQs

How long does the KYBELLA® injection take to perform?

The KYBELLA® injection process usually takes 15 to 20 minutes. Minor swelling may occur, but most people feel it doesn’t interfere with their day-to-day life.

Who can perform my KYBELLA® injection?

KYBELLA® should only be administered by an appropriately trained healthcare professional. Do not undergo KYBELLA® treatments from someone without a medical license or use products purchased from third-party sellers online.

When should I expect to see my results?

Most patients begin to see a reduction in fat about four weeks after treatment. If multiple treatments are required to achieve your ideal results, they should be spaced six to eight weeks apart.

Is the fat reduction permanent?

Yes. The KYBELLA® formula permanently eliminates fat and makes it difficult for new fat cells to form.

Nora Portner

To Our Cherished Patients, Friends, and Colleagues,

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved colleague and friend, Nora. From the very beginning of Davinci Plastic Surgery, Nora Davison has been an integral part of our practice, serving as our Physician Assistant, Chief Injector, and a mentor to so many on our team.

Nora’s expertise, warmth, and dedication touched the lives of countless patients. She had a unique gift for making everyone feel comfortable, cared for, and understood, and she built lasting relationships that went far beyond the treatment room. To our team, she was not only a leader but also a teacher and source of inspiration. Her presence will be deeply missed.

As we grieve this loss, please know that our team remains committed to honoring Nora’s legacy by carrying forward the compassion, professionalism, and excellence she exemplified every day. The Practice she helped create is empowered by the patient-centric ethos she gifted us.

We are grateful for your support and understanding during this difficult time as we celebrate Nora’s life and the many ways she made Davinci, and the lives of our patients, brighter.

With heartfelt sympathy,
The Davinci Plastic Surgery Team
