Reveal your own KYBELLA profile. Are you bothered by the fullness beneath your chin? Would you like to improve your profile picture without surgery? Sometimes, even with diet or exercise, the unwanted fullness beneath your chin may not go away, and it could make you appear older or heavier than you actually are.

What can be done about a double chin?
Traditionally a double chin or submental fullness has been treated with a neck lift or liposuction. KYBELLA offers a non-surgical approach to the double chin without downtime. Dr. Zormeier will discuss with you if KYBELLA is the best treatment option for you.
What is KYBELLA?
It is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps metabolize dietary fat. The fat cell wall is destroyed allowing the fat to be removed from the body. The fat cell membrane is disrupted, the fat cell then releases its fatty contents and the body metabolizes the fatty contents. Destroying fat cells has existed for decades called Mesotherapy.
How are KYBELLA injections done?
KYBELLA is injected with multiple small injections. Usually, 2 to 3 bottles are used per KYBELLA injection treatment. Sometimes 2 to 3 treatments will get you the results you’re looking for but often 5 to 6 treatments are required for best results. Treatments are usually done at monthly intervals.
Who is a good candidate for KYBELLA?
KYBELLA mesotherapy is a great option for patients with fullness in the submental ( under the chin) or neck region that is caused by excess fat.
How is KYBELLA injected?
KYBELLA is injected directly into the superficial fat of the neck. This is injected by small multiple injections. The needles are ultra-fine to minimize pain and bruising. Multiple treatments every 4-6 weeks are generally recommended. The actual number of treatments required will vary based on the amount of excess fat under the chin.
