Kybella® is the first FDA-approved injectable for permanent fat cell destruction. It contours and improves the appearance of the submental region under the chin, also referred to as a “double chin.” Once destroyed, fat cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. Dr. Dolev also injects Kybella® to improve jowls and in off-face sites such as the upper inner thighs, bra rolls and love handles. 

Results are permanent as long as there are no significant lifestyle changes, however patients from clinical studies who gained weight after Kybella® did not see a return of their submental fullness. Some bruising may occur after treatment and swelling may be noticeable for 2 to 5 days. Treatments are typically spaced about six weeks apart.
