We work hard to stay fit and healthy. We eat well, we exercise, and yet our double chin still remains. The area under our chin can be prone to “submental fullness” – but we don’t have to live with it forever.
The solution? Kybella – an FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently reduces unwanted fat without surgery. Kybella is designed to break down and dissolve fat cells. This allows the body to naturally eliminate them over time.
The team at Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Newport Beach is ready to help you get rid of stubborn fat under the chin. We use Kybella to refine your jawline and target pockets of fat so you can enjoy a more sculpted profile.
Kybella is an injectable fat-dissolving treatment. It contains synthetic deoxycholic acid – a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down and absorbs dietary fat.
When injected into areas with stubborn fat, Kybella disrupts and destroys fat cells. This stops them from storing or accumulating fat in the future.
Kybella is a great way for individuals seeking fat reduction without undergoing liposuction or invasive procedures. Since Kybella permanently eliminates fat cells, the results are long-lasting, provided that you maintain a stable weight.
Kybella works by targeting and breaking down fat cells through a process called cytolysis. Once injected, the deoxycholic acid destroys the outer membrane of fat cells, causing them to rupture.
The body then naturally metabolizes and eliminates the damaged fat cells over several weeks.
Since the treated fat cells cannot regenerate, Kybella provides a permanent solution for fat reduction. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and stable weight is essential to make sure you keep the results.
Kybella is most commonly used to reduce submental fat, also known as a double chin. However, it can also be used in other small areas where stubborn fat accumulates.
1.) Chin & Jawline – Kybella is FDA-approved for eliminating fat under the chin, improving jawline definition, and creating a slimmer profile.
2.) Jowls – Kybella can reduce fat along the lower cheeks and jawline, enhancing facial contour.
3.) Bra Bulges – Small pockets of fat near the bra line or underarms can be treated for a smoother, sculpted appearance.
4.) Lower Abdomen & Flanks – While Kybella is not a substitute for body contouring, it can help reduce minor fat deposits in these areas.
5 .) Knees & Inner Thighs – Stubborn fat around the knees and thighs can be minimized for a more toned look.
During your consultation at Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Newport Beach, we will determine if Kybella is the right treatment for your concerns and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your aesthetic goals.
Kybella is a versatile, non-surgical treatment that offers long-lasting results. Some of the key benefits include:
No need for liposuction, incisions, or anesthesia.
Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return.
Most clients resume daily activities immediately after treatment.
Enhances jawline and neck definition for a slimmer look.
Adjusted to fit your unique needs and goals.
Clinically proven to reduce submental fat.
Kybella provides a simple, effective, and long-term solution for those looking to refine their appearance without the commitment of surgery.
Kybella is an excellent option for men and women who want to reduce small areas of stubborn fat and enhance their facial profile. You may be a good candidate if you:
-Have excess fat under the chin or in other small areas
– Are frustrated by fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise
– Prefer a non-surgical alternative to liposuction
– Have good skin elasticity, as Kybella targets fat but does not tighten loose skin
Kybella may not be suitable for individuals who:
– Are pregnant or breastfeeding
-Have loose or sagging skin, as fat reduction can make skin laxity more noticeable
-Have a history of difficulty swallowing or bleeding disorders
– Are currently experiencing skin infections or inflammation in the treatment area
A thorough consultation at Amy Berisha Aesthetics will help determine if Kybella is the right treatment for you.
Your first appointment will be a one-on-one consultation where we evaluate your concerns, discuss your goals, and determine the best approach for treatment.
On the day of your procedure, the treatment area is cleaned, and a numbing agent may be applied to help keep you comfortable.
An Amy Berisha Aesthetics practitioner will carefully inject the Kybella into the target area in a grid-like pattern to ensure even fat distribution. They will do this using a fine needle. The procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Mild swelling, redness, and tenderness are normal and typically subside within a few days to a week. We provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Kybella works gradually as the body metabolizes the treated fat cells.
1.) First noticeable results – 4–6 weeks after treatment
2.) Full results – After 2–3 months
3.) Number of treatments needed – Most clients require 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart
If you’re ready to eliminate stubborn fat and enhance your facial contours, Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Newport Beach is here to help.
Most clients start noticing visible changes within four to six weeks after their first session. However, because Kybella works by gradually dissolving fat cells, final results appear after several months. For optimal fat reduction, most clients require two to four treatments, spaced about four to six weeks apart.
Yes, Kybella permanently destroys fat cells in the treated area. Once those fat cells are eliminated, they cannot regenerate. However, if you gain weight after treatment, remaining fat cells in the area can expand and reverse the results.
Kybella specifically targets fat cells and does not tighten loose skin. If you have significant skin laxity in the treated area, your practitioner may recommend additional treatments.
The number of sessions required depends on the amount of fat in the treatment area and your desired results. Most clients need two to four treatments to achieve noticeable definition. Some individuals with smaller fat pockets may only need one or two sessions, while others with more submental fullness may require up to six treatments.
Most clients report mild to moderate discomfort during the injections. A topical numbing agent is typically applied beforehand to minimize any pain. After the procedure, you may experience temporary swelling, tenderness, or a slight burning sensation as the deoxycholic acid starts breaking down the fat cells.
While Kybella is FDA-approved for reducing submental fat (double chin), it can also be used off-label to treat:
The most common side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, and mild numbness in the treated area. Swelling is usually most noticeable within the first week but subsides over time. In rare cases, clients may experience temporary lumps, hardness, or nerve irritation, but these effects typically resolve within a few weeks.
Before your Kybella treatment, avoid blood thinners, alcohol, and anti-inflammatory medications for at least 48 hours to reduce bruising. Stay hydrated and eat a balanced meal beforehand. Schedule your treatment at least 2-3 weeks prior to any important events to allow time for swelling to subside.
After treatment, expect swelling and tenderness for a few days. Use a cold compress for comfort and sleep with your head elevated to minimize swelling. Avoid strenuous exercise, excessive salt, and high-heat environments for 24-48 hours, and do not massage the treated area to ensure the best results.
