Kybella® for double chin reduction
Kybella® (deoxycholic acid) is FDA-approved to improve moderate to severe fullness under the chin in adults. It is a synthetic version of a molecule your body uses to break down dietary fat.
Double chin
Fullness under the chin that does not respond to diet and exercise.
Profile
Less fat under the chin means a sharper jawline and neck angle.
Long-lasting
Once destroyed, the treated fat cells can no longer store fat.
Kybella® treats fat, not loose skin. If laxity is the main issue, Dr. Chebil will tell you.
How Kybella® treatment works
Each session takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Most people need two to four, spaced at least a month apart, and up to six are possible.

Kybella® in Newport Beach: common questions
Something else on your mind? Send us a text and our team will answer.
How many Kybella treatments will I need?
Most people need two to four sessions, spaced at least a month apart. Up to six are possible, depending on how much fat there is.
Is Kybella permanent?
The treated fat cells are destroyed and cannot store fat again, so results are long-lasting once you reach your goal.
How long does the swelling last?
Usually several days, sometimes up to a week or two after the first session. Later sessions tend to swell less.
Does Kybella hurt?
Most patients feel burning or stinging during and shortly after the injections. Ice and numbing cream help.
How much does Kybella cost in Newport Beach?
It depends on how many vials and sessions you need. You get an exact quote at your consultation.
Who is a good candidate for Kybella?
Adults with moderate to severe fullness under the chin, good skin elasticity in the area and a stable weight. If loose skin is the main issue, another approach will work better.
Kybella or liposuction?
Liposuction removes fat surgically in one session and needs recovery time. Kybella® is non-surgical and works over several sessions. It suits patients who want to avoid surgery and are happy with a gradual result.
What should I avoid after Kybella?
Expect swelling for several days, so plan around social events. Ice helps, and sleeping with your head slightly raised can reduce swelling the first night.
Do you see patients from outside Newport Beach?
