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.
