Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin, reducing a double chin without surgery. At Cosmetica Med Spa in Boca Raton, every Kybella plan starts with an assessment to make sure it's the right fit for your profile.
What Kybella treats
- Moderate to severe fat under the chin
- A double chin that doesn't respond to diet or exercise
- A softer jawline caused by submental fat
How it works
Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a substance your body uses to break down dietary fat. Injected under the chin, it destroys fat cells, which your body then clears away over the following weeks.
What to expect
After numbing, a series of small injections is placed under the chin. Treatment takes about 20 minutes. Expect swelling, tenderness and some numbness for several days.
Results
Results build gradually over four to six weeks after each treatment. Individual results vary. Rare risks, including nerve injury affecting the smile, are reviewed at your consultation.
Cost in Boca Raton
Kybella starts at $699 per treatment. Pair it with chin filler or jawline filler for a sharper profile.
Frequently asked questions
How many Kybella treatments will I need?
Most people need two to four treatments spaced about a month apart. Some need up to six.
Are Kybella results permanent?
Kybella destroys treated fat cells, so they can't store fat again. Significant weight gain can still affect the area.
How much swelling should I expect?
Swelling, bruising and numbness under the chin are common and usually last several days to a week or more. Plan around social events.
Who isn't a good candidate?
Kybella treats fat, not loose skin. If laxity is the main issue, we may recommend other options.
