KYBELLA® is a prescription medicine used to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat under the chin, also known as "submental fullness" or "double chin."
Kybella® May Be Right for You if:
You're bothered by submental fullness

Your provider will inject KYBELLA® into the fat under your chin during a 15- to 20-minute in-office treatment. Typically, 2-4 treatments are needed for patients to experience visible contouring of their chin profile. You and your provider will decide on the best treatment plan for you.

Before receiving KYBELLA®, it's important that you tell your provider about all of your medical conditions and medicines you take (including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements).
