How Does Kybella Work?
KYBELLA® Newport Beach is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce fat in the submental ie “double chin” region.
Kybella is an injectable solution designed to diminish submental fat, often referred to as a double chin, by breaking down fat cells. The key component, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally found molecule that assists in fat absorption. Upon injection, Kybella disrupts the membranes of fat cells, prompting them to release their contents, which the body then naturally expels. This method permanently decreases the quantity of fat cells in the targeted region.
“Off-label”, it can also be used to reduce armpit fat, fat in the jowls, “bra-roll” fat, and other parts of the body.
Via a series of treatments, Kybella is a safe and effective treatment that destroys fat cells where injected and is great for those seeking to address targeted excess fat.
It contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, which mimics a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. By injecting KYBELLA® into a targeted area especially under the chin and/or jowls, fat cells are destroyed, leading to a visible reduction in the treated area.
Once these cells are eliminated, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, reducing the need for further treatment once you achieve your desired aesthetic result. The amount of treatment sessions required vary among patients and is dependent on individual aesthetic goals, the amounts of fat, and specific area size.

Frequently asked questions
How do you know if you are a candidate for Kybella?
For those who maintain a healthy diet, engage in regular physical activity, and are overall in good health but are persistently troubled by the presence of a double chin, this might be an ideal option. If you’ve exhausted all efforts to eliminate submental fat yet still have a double chin, consult your provider.
Ideal candidates for Kybella are adults with moderate to severe submental fullness, commonly called a “double chin”. If you have localized fat deposits (excess fat) on your neck and body and are seeking a non-surgical option you may also be a suitable candidate for this procedure.
While kybella is FDA approved for the submental ie “double-chin” area, many patients with excess “bra-roll” fat, jowling, “buffalo hump” fat and even dimpling following liposuction or a c-section can benefit from this procedure.
The most effective outcomes are achieved when you’re near your desired weight and aim to eliminate those stubborn targeted bulges or “fatty zones” that are preventing you from feeling as self-assured as you wish to be.
You are NOT the right candidate for Kybella if you have excessive fullness in the desired treatment area, have a history of autoimmune conditions or bleeding disorders, are pregnant or nursing, have a history of difficulty swallowing, or have undergone “chin liposuction” in the past.
How long will I stay swollen after Kybella? How many session do I need?
Experiencing swelling following a Kybella Newport Beach procedure is common and usually persists for approximately one to two weeks. The initial week generally presents the most significant swelling, which gradually diminishes each day. Using cold compresses and elevating your head can aid in reducing swelling (always consult your provider first).
You can expect to see swelling and puffiness immediately after your appointment. As stated above, this can lasts up to 2 to 3 weeks. However, most of the swelling does subside over a few days. Ice and arnica can help immediately post procedure.
Your treated areas will look WORSE before they look better. However, once your lymphatics has cleared the cellular debris after 4 to 6 weeks, the area will have an improved contour. Most patients find that the results are well worth the recovery process.
The number of treatment sessions depends on the amount of fullness of the area. Most patients do require a minimum of 2-3 sessions to see full results.
Does Kybella have long-term side effects?
Kybella treatments come with side effects that are only temporary. Here are some typical side effects associated with Kybella injections: Swelling – frequently happens at the area where Kybella is injected. Bruising – localized bruising may appear at the injection site.
KYBELLA® has been extensively studied, with over 20 clinical studies conducted worldwide. Its primary component, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally found substance in the body that assists with the degrading of dietary fats.
Common side effects of injection lipolysis include redness and tenderness at the injection sites, swelling, numbness, bruising, and small, firm palpable areas around the treatment site that usually subside over the next few weeks.
Less common and more severe complications can include damage to the marginal mandibular nerve, facial muscle weakness, or difficulty swallowing. Our highly experienced staff at E&G Aesthetic Institute ensures that a comprehensive assessment is made to control all variables to minimize the risk of occurence of these less common complications.
How long does Kybella last for a double chin?

Maintaining a stable weight will aid in maintaining your results long-term and will contribute to an enhanced profile in the long run.
Do fat dissolving injections actually work?
YES! Fat-dissolving injections such as Kybella Newport Beach and best PCDC injections Newport Beach can effectively target and reduce localized fat deposits, especially in regions like the chin and jowls. Unlike a surgical procedure, these injections function by breaking down fat cells, which the body subsequently removes. However, the outcomes are not instant, there is some recovery time, and usually full treatment necessitate several treatment sessions. Moreover, they are most beneficial for those close to their ideal weight who have persistent fat areas unresponsive to diet and exercise.
Do fat dissolving injections work on the tummy?
Even if your genetics incline you to accumulate fat in specific regions like the abdomen, buttocks, or thighs, non-surgical fat dissolving injections provide an alternative to invasive surgeries such as liposuction. Kybella treatment outcomes have been scientifically validated and documented in peer-reviewed medical publications. PCDC injections are another fat dissolving alternative that is also utilized at E&G Aesthetic Institute.
