Fullness beneath the chin, commonly called a double chin, can develop for many reasons, including genetics, aging, and weight changes. Even individuals who maintain a healthy lifestyle may notice that this area does not respond to diet and exercise. For many people, this concern can affect facial balance and confidence, especially in photos or profile views. Kybella® offers a non-surgical option for addressing this specific concern.
As an FDA-approved injectable treatment, Kybella® targets and reduces fat beneath the chin, helping create a more defined jawline and improved facial contour. Individuals seeking a non-surgical approach to refining the chin and jawline may benefit from this clinically studied treatment. At Eros Beauty and Wellness in San Diego, CA, Kybella® treatments are performed as part of a personalized care plan tailored to your anatomy and goals.
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce moderate to severe fat beneath the chin, also known as submental fullness. The active ingredient in Kybella® is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a compound similar to a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.
When carefully injected into the treatment area, Kybella® destroys fat cells beneath the chin. Once these fat cells are eliminated, they can no longer store or accumulate fat. Over time, the body naturally processes and removes the treated fat cells, resulting in a gradual reduction of fullness and a more defined jawline.
Patients often seek Kybella® treatment for the following reasons:

Kybella® is specifically designed to treat submental fullness beneath the chin.

Treatment plans are designed to support gradual, balanced improvements that complement your natural facial structure.
Kybella® treatments involve minimal downtime. Patients are typically advised to:
Temporary swelling, redness, bruising, or tenderness under the chin may occur and typically resolves within several days.
Results develop gradually as the body processes and removes the treated fat cells. Many patients begin to notice improvement within several weeks, with continued changes over the following months. Most individuals require a series of treatments spaced about four weeks apart.
Once the treated fat cells are eliminated, they cannot store fat again. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve long-term results.
Individual response varies depending on metabolism, treatment area, and the number of sessions performed.
