Kybella

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is an injectable treatment made of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down dietary fat. Injected beneath the chin, it permanently destroys the fat cells responsible for submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin.

Dr. Quan Nguyen, MD maps each treatment to your specific anatomy, targeting the fat pocket precisely so results look like a natural extension of your jawline, not an overdone or hollow appearance.

Benefits

• Permanently destroys treated fat cells beneath the chin
• Non-surgical alternative to liposuction or a neck lift
• No incisions or general anesthesia required
• Gradual, natural-looking improvement over several weeks
• Quick in-office treatment with no downtime beyond mild swelling

What to Expect

• Consultation to assess your submental fullness and candidacy
• Custom injection mapping beneath the chin
• A series of small injections, typically 15–20 minutes
• Follow-up sessions scheduled about a month apart as needed

Is Kybella Right for You?

Kybella suits those with moderate-to-severe submental fullness who want a non-surgical solution. Most patients need 2–4 sessions spaced about a month apart for full results, with mild swelling or bruising common for a few days after each visit. Dr. Nguyen will assess your anatomy and health history during your consultation to confirm it's the right fit.
