Kybella Treatment In Costa Mesa, CA

Say goodbye to stubborn fat with non-surgical Kybella treatments at Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Costa Mesa.

Even with a healthy lifestyle, some areas of stubborn fat refuse to go away. The double chin, in particular, is a common concern that can make the face look less defined and age the overall appearance. If you’ve struggled with excess fat under the chin or along the jawline, but don’t want surgery, Kybella is a great solution.

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to permanently reduce fat cells in targeted areas. Using a specialized formula, Kybella breaks down and dissolves fat, allowing the body to naturally eliminate it over time. The result? A slimmer, more sculpted profile without incisions or downtime.

At Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Costa Mesa, our expert injectors use Kybella to help clients achieve a more defined jawline and a smoother, contoured look. If you’re looking for a non-surgical way to eliminate stubborn fat, book your Kybella consultation today.

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is a non-surgical, injectable fat reduction treatment that contains synthetic deoxycholic acid—a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps break down and absorb fat.

When injected into areas of stubborn fat, Kybella works to destroy fat cell membranes, causing them to rupture and be naturally eliminated by the body over time. Once the fat cells are gone, they do not regenerate, making Kybella a permanent fat reduction solution when a stable weight is maintained.

This treatment is ideal for those who want to refine their facial profile and eliminate submental fat (double chin) without the risks or downtime of liposuction.

How Does Kybella Work?

Kybella targets and destroys fat cells through a process called cytolysis.

  1. Deoxycholic acid disrupts the fat cells, causing their structure to break down
  2. The body metabolizes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells over several weeks
  3. Once removed, these fat cells cannot store or accumulate fat again, making results long-lasting

Because the fat cells are permanently destroyed, future weight gain will not occur in the treated area, but maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle is essential for preserving your results.

Where Can Kybella Be Used?

Kybella is most commonly used for reducing submental fat (double chin), but it can also be used in other areas with small pockets of stubborn fat.

Double Chin & Jawline

Kybella is FDA-approved for eliminating fat under the chin, refining the jawline, and creating a slimmer profile.

Jowls

Excess fat along the lower cheeks and jawline can be treated with Kybella to enhance facial definition.

Bra Bulge

Small pockets of fat near the bra line or under the arms can be treated for a smoother contour.

Lower Abdomen & Flanks

Kybella can help reduce small, stubborn fat deposits in the lower belly and love handles, though it is not a substitute for body contouring treatments.

Knees & Inner Thighs

For individuals struggling with small fat pockets around the knees or inner thighs, Kybella can help achieve a leaner, more toned appearance.

At Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Costa Mesa, we customize each Kybella treatment plan based on your specific goals, ensuring safe and effective fat reduction.

Why Choose Kybella?

Kybella is a versatile, non-surgical solution that offers permanent results. Here’s why it’s one of the top choices for fat reduction at Amy Berisha Aesthetics:

Non-Invasive & No Surgery

No liposuction, anesthesia, or incisions—just small, precise injections.

Permanent Fat Reduction

Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not come back, making Kybella a long-term solution.

Minimal Downtime

Most clients return to daily activities right after treatment, with mild swelling subsiding in a few days.

Improved Jawline Definition

Kybella enhances jawline and neck contours, resulting in a slimmer, more defined profile.

Customizable Treatments

Every Kybella session is tailored to your unique goals, ensuring natural-looking, balanced results.

Safe & FDA-Approved

Kybella has undergone extensive clinical testing and is FDA-approved for reducing submental fat.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella?

Kybella is an excellent treatment for individuals who want to reduce small fat deposits and enhance their facial profile. You may be a good candidate if you:

  • Have excess fat under the chin or other small areas that are resistant to diet and exercise.
  • Prefer a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
  • Have good skin elasticity, as Kybella reduces fat but does not tighten loose skin.

Who Should Avoid Kybella?

Kybella may not be the best choice if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Have loose or sagging skin (since Kybella targets fat but does not tighten skin).
  • Have a history of difficulty swallowing or bleeding disorders.
  • Have an active infection in the treatment area.

A consultation at Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Costa Mesa will determine if Kybella is right for you.

What to Expect During Your Kybella Treatment

Step 1: Consultation

We begin with a personalized consultation. During this consultation, we will assess your concerns and goals, examine your fat distribution, and create a customized treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.

Step 2: Treatment Day

On the day of your procedure, the treatment area will be cleaned and marked to ensure precise injections. For your comfort, a numbing agent may be applied.

Step 3: Kybella Injections

Your practitioner at Amy Berisha Aesthetics will inject a precise amount of Kybella into the targeted area. This treatment typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes. Please note that the number of injections and sessions required may vary based on your desired results.

Step 4: Recovery & Aftercare

After the procedure, mild swelling, redness, and tenderness are expected and typically subside within a few days to a week. We provide aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.

When Will I See Results?

Kybella works gradually, allowing the body to eliminate fat cells over time.

First visible results: Within 4 to 6 weeks.

Full results: Typically appear after 2 to 3 months.

Recommended sessions: Most clients need 2 to 4 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.

Once results are achieved, no further treatments are needed—fat cells are permanently destroyed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Kybella is ideal for individuals who:

  • Have stubborn fat under the chin or in small areas that won’t go away with diet and exercise.
  • Want a non-surgical alternative to liposuction.
  • Have good skin elasticity, as Kybella does not tighten loose skin.

You should avoid Kybella if you:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Have loose or sagging skin, as fat reduction may make laxity more visible.
  • Have a history of difficulty swallowing or bleeding disorders.
  • Have an active infection in the treatment area.

Both Kybella and liposuction permanently remove fat, but Kybella is non-surgical and requires no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime. Liposuction may be better suited for larger fat deposits, while Kybella is best for smaller, localized areas.

To prepare for Kybella, we recommend:

  • Avoiding blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen) for a few days to reduce bruising.
  • Refraining from alcohol at least 24 hours before treatment.
  • Scheduling your appointment when you can allow time for swelling to subside.

No. Kybella only targets fat cells and does not provide skin tightening. If you have significant skin laxity, other treatments like radiofrequency or skin tightening procedures may be recommended.

Kybella is safe and FDA-approved, but common side effects include temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, and numbness in the treatment area. These typically resolve within one to two weeks.

Kybella results are permanent, as the treated fat cells are completely eliminated. However, if you gain weight, remaining fat cells in the area may expand, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle is key.

Yes! Many clients combine Kybella with Botox or dermal fillers to enhance their facial profile. We offer customized treatment plans to achieve the best results for your aesthetic goals.
