Kybella®

What Is Kybella®?

At Longevity Lab & Aesthetics, treatments are never about quick fixes or overcorrection. They’re chosen for how naturally they integrate with the body’s own processes and long-term goals. Kybella® fits that philosophy in a very specific way it addresses one of the most common areas of quiet concern: fullness beneath the chin.

Kybella® is an injectable treatment designed to reduce submental fullness, often referred to as a double chin. It contains a substance that occurs naturally in the body and plays a role in breaking down dietary fat. When placed precisely into targeted areas, it gradually breaks down fat cells, allowing your body to clear them through its natural metabolic pathways over time.

No surgery. No implants. No abrupt change just a gradual shift that reflects your body’s own response.

Treatment Areas

Kybella® is used in focused areas where small, persistent pockets of fat tend to remain despite consistent lifestyle habits.

Under the Chin

The primary treatment area. It helps soften fullness beneath the chin and supports a more defined lower face profile over time.

Jawline

In select cases, Kybella® can be used just beneath the jawline to refine transitions and reduce subtle heaviness along the lower face.

Small Localized Areas of Fat

In certain situations, it may also be considered for small, well-defined pockets of fat in other areas of the body, depending on anatomy and treatment goals.

Why It Works

Kybella® works by encouraging a controlled biological process rather than introducing volume or structure from the outside.

Targets fat directly

The formulation is placed precisely where reduction is desired.

Your body completes the process

Once fat cells are disrupted, your body gradually processes and clears them over time.

Subtle progression

Changes unfold gradually, allowing results to blend naturally with your existing features.

Permanent effect on treated cells

Once fat cells are broken down, they do not regenerate in that area.

Non-surgical approach

No incisions or anesthesia, with treatment sessions typically completed in under an hour.

Is This Right for You?

Kybella® tends to be well-suited for individuals who notice fullness under the chin or in small localized areas and prefer a non-surgical, progressive approach to refinement.

You may be a good candidate if:

You notice persistent fullness beneath the chin that does not respond to diet or exercise

You prefer gradual, natural-looking changes over immediate transformation

You are seeking definition rather than dramatic alteration

You are at or near a stable weight

You want a treatment that works with the body’s own processes rather than replacing them

What To Expect

Kybella® is designed to work in stages, not all at once. That timing is intentional and part of how results develop naturally.

Following treatment, it is normal to experience swelling, tenderness, or firmness in the treated area. This response is expected and often more noticeable in the first several days before gradually improving.

In the weeks that follow, the body begins processing the treated fat cells. As this happens, the area slowly becomes more refined. Most people require more than one session to reach their desired result, spaced out over time to allow the body to respond fully between treatments.

Because the fat cells themselves are broken down and cleared, results are long-lasting when weight remains stable.

Before Your Appointment

Avoid alcohol and medications like aspirin or ibuprofen for 24 to 48 hours prior to treatment, unless prescribed otherwise by your physician. Arrive with clean skin and no products applied to the treatment area.

After Your Appointment

Swelling is expected and can be part of the visible response to treatment, especially under the chin. This typically improves gradually over several days to a couple of weeks.

Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours and refrain from touching or massaging the area unless instructed. A cool compress may be used gently for comfort if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kybella® the same as liposuction?

No. Liposuction physically removes fat through a surgical procedure. Kybella® works without surgery by gradually breaking down fat cells so your body can clear them naturally.

How many treatments will I need?

Most individuals benefit from a series of sessions. The exact number depends on the amount of fullness present and your aesthetic goals, which we will evaluate during your consultation.

How long does swelling last?

Swelling is expected and can vary from person to person. It typically peaks early and gradually resolves over several days, sometimes longer depending on the treatment area.

Are the results permanent?

Once the treated fat cells are broken down and eliminated, they do not return. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results over time.

Can Kybella® be combined with other treatments?

Yes. It can be incorporated into a broader treatment plan depending on your goals. We will guide you on safe and effective combinations.

Is Kybella® safe?

Yes. Kybella® has been extensively studied and is widely used in clinical settings for submental fullness when administered by trained professionals.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes. We are licensed in both Massachusetts and Florida and offer telehealth consultations for patients who prefer to begin the process remotely.
