KYBELLA® Encino CA - Double Chin Treatment Sherman Oaks CA

Contour your chin; perfect your profile. KYBELLA® is the first injectable filler of its kind that actually destroys fat cells!

Administered as a series of injections to the treatment area under the chin, KYBELLA targets fat cells and produces gradual results. The team at Silk: A Medical Spa, led by board-certified plastic surgeons, provides this service to patients in Encino, Sherman Oaks, and the surrounding areas.

What Does KYBELLA Treat?

Are you self-conscious about a double chin? Do you wish you had a more contoured and defined jawline? KYBELLA is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment for adults that permanently eliminates fat cells under the chin to restore symmetry, enhance your profile, and restore your confidence!

Whether you have a moderate amount of fullness or a bit more, everyone's chin profile is different, and our expert team will create a plan to help you achieve your goals.

The active ingredient in KYBELLA is deoxycholic acid, a synthetic body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Once destroyed, the cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. Because of this, it's unlikely you will need additional treatments.⁣

Frequently Asked Questions

What Can I Expect From My Treatment?⁣

Before starting treatment, your provider will examine the area under and around your chin to determine if KYBELLA is right for you. Then, they will customize your treatment for the amount of fat under the chin to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

How Many KYBELLA Treatment Sessions Will I Need?

Since everyone's chin profile is different, the number of sessions varies from patient to patient. Your provider will help determine how many sessions you need based on the amount and distribution of your submental fat and your personal goals. Each KYBELLA session is given at least 1 month apart, and you should not receive more than six treatments. Many patients experience visible results in 2 to 4 KYBELLA treatments.

How Quickly Will I See Results?

Results with KYBELLA are most noticeable four to six weeks following treatments. Maximum results can be seen after six months and are meant to be long-lasting.

How Many People Have Been Treated With KYBELLA?⁣

KYBELLA has been the focus of a global clinical development program involving over 20 clinical studies. More than 1600 people were treated with KYBELLA in these studies.

Is KYBELLA Right For Me?⁣

Only you and your doctor can decide if KYBELLA is right for you. If you're bothered by fullness under your chin and wish to avoid surgery, ask your doctor about KYBELLA.⁣⁣

What Are The Possible Side Effects?

The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness and areas of hardness around the treatment area. These are not all of the possible side effects of KYBELLA. Call your healthcare provider if you develop open sores or drainage from the treatment area for medical advice about side effects.⁣

Which Is Better: KYBELLA or CoolSculpting?

Choosing between KYBELLA and CoolSculpting® depends on your needs, goals, and the area(s) you want to address.

KYBELLA is ideal for smaller, localized areas of fat, such as a double chin. It provides gradual results over several sessions.

CoolSculpting targets larger areas, like the abdomen, thighs, or love handles. It's a great option for those seeking body contouring over a broader area without downtime.

Consulting with a qualified provider, like those at Silk: A Medical Spa, will help determine which treatment aligns with your goals and delivers the desired results.

Can I Combine KYBELLA With Other Treatments?

Yes, you can combine KYBELLA with other treatments to enhance your results. Many patients pair KYBELLA with services like:

CoolSculpting for broader fat reduction
BOTOX® Cosmetic to smooth wrinkles
Dermal fillers to restore volume and contour

Always schedule a consultation with a qualified provider to ensure the therapies complement each other. They will assess your needs and consider factors like safety, timing, and targeted areas.

Does KYBELLA Leave Sagging Skin?

KYBELLA destroys fat cells, but it doesn't tighten the skin in the treated area.

For those with good skin elasticity, the skin will likely retract as the fat is reduced. This will leave a smooth and contoured appearance. Those with less elastic skin – often due to age, genetics, or significant weight loss – may notice some sagging after the fat dissolves.

Your provider may recommend combining KYBELLA with skin-tightening treatments to address potential sagging. For example, laser therapies can stimulate collagen production and enhance skin firmness.

How Should I Sleep After KYBELLA?

After KYBELLA sessions, sleeping on your back with your head elevated for the first few nights is best. Elevating your head can reduce swelling and discomfort in the treated area. You can use an extra pillow or a special wedge pillow to keep your head propped up.

Avoid sleeping on your side or stomach. These positions may put pressure on the injection sites, increasing swelling or irritation. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing around your neck as well. This can prevent unnecessary rubbing or constriction.

Before and Aftercare

Before Treatment

After Treatment

After KYBELLA treatment, you will likely have some swelling, redness, bruising, swelling, or numbness under your chin for the first 2-7 days. We suggest icing the area for one to three hours at 15-minute intervals to help reduce swelling throughout the day and night.

As long as you are comfortable and are not experiencing pain, you can resume normal activities, including exercise.

If you begin to experience discomfort, we recommend taking take ibuprofen, Motrin, or Advil to provide relief. Additionally, arnica supplements may be purchased at Silk. We recommend taking these to reduce bruising and enhance healing post-treatment.

If you begin to experience symptoms or pain that feel unexpected or too uncomfortable, such as increasing tenderness or swelling, hardened areas, or nodules, please contact our office immediately for assistance. We are committed to providing our patients with safe, effective treatments and results that leave you feeling beautiful and confident!
