Kybella in Aguadilla, PR

At Icala Medical Aesthetics in Aguadilla, Dr. Lilliam Díaz-Vélez and our caring medical team offer Kybella® for patients seeking a safe and effective way to reduce submental fullness—commonly known as a double chin—without surgery. This FDA-approved injectable treatment permanently dissolves fat cells beneath the chin, creating a more defined and balanced facial profile.

What Kybella Treats

Kybella is designed to target and eliminate fat cells in small, localized areas where excess volume often lingers despite diet and exercise. The most common treatment area is under the chin, but it can also be used to refine contours along the jawline. Candidates often seek this treatment for:

  • Reducing fullness beneath the chin
  • Improving jawline definition
  • Restoring facial balance and harmony
  • Achieving a slimmer, more youthful appearance

Because the fat cells destroyed by Kybella don’t come back, results are long-lasting when patients maintain a stable weight.

How Kybella Works

Kybella uses a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid—a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down dietary fat—to target and dissolve stubborn fat beneath the skin. Once injected, the solution breaks apart fat cell membranes, allowing the body to naturally flush them out through metabolic processes over time.

Treatments are performed in-office and typically take 20 to 30 minutes. Depending on the amount of submental fat, most patients require a series of two to four sessions spaced about a month apart to achieve full correction. Some patients may need up to six treatments for full results.

What to Expect During Treatment

Before treatment, Dr. Díaz-Vélez and our team conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine if Kybella is appropriate for your goals. To qualify for Kybella, it’s important to have good skin elasticity, as this will allow your skin to retract and tighten as the fat leaves your body.

During your session, small injections are precisely placed in a grid pattern beneath the chin to ensure even results. You may experience a mild tingling or warm sensation as the solution begins to work.

Mild swelling or tenderness is normal for several days following treatment as fat cells are gradually eliminated. Most patients can resume normal activities immediately after their appointment. Over the following weeks, the treated area begins to tighten and refine naturally as the fat is metabolized by the body.

Most patients notice results after their second treatment, with steady improvement after each session.
