What Is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an injectable treatment designed to target and permanently reduce fat beneath the chin, also known as submental fat, enhancing the appearance of a double chin. The active ingredient in Kybella® is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the fat under your chin, Kybella® destroys fat cells, resulting in a more sculpted and youthful profile.
Unlike surgical procedures like liposuction, Kybella® requires no incisions, anesthesia, or downtime, making it a popular choice for those seeking a non-invasive option for double chin reduction.
Kybella® offers many benefits, including:
- Non-surgical and non-invasive with minimal discomfort
- More symmetrical facial proportions
- Improved double chin appearance
- Redefined jawline and neck
- Stronger, more defined facial profile
- Natural-looking, long-lasting results
How Does Kybella® Work?
When injected into the area under the chin, Kybella® works by destroying fat cells. Once these cells are destroyed, your body naturally eliminates them, and they can no longer store fat. This means the results are permanent as long as you maintain a stable weight.
Most patients require a series of injections scheduled several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. During your consultation with Dr. Szpalski, she will assess your chin profile and recommend a treatment plan based on your unique needs. On average, patients require 2 to 4 treatments; however, some patients may need up to 6 sessions to achieve their desired results.

Am I an Ideal Candidate for Kybella®?
Kybella® is ideal for individuals who have mild to moderate submental fullness and are looking for a non-invasive solution to improve the appearance of their double chin. If you’re in good health and have realistic expectations about the outcome, you could be a great candidate for Kybella®.
During your consultation with Dr. Szpalski, she will carefully evaluate your chin and neck profile to determine if Kybella® is the right treatment for you. In some cases, other procedures like neck liposuction or a neck lift may be more appropriate for patients with significant skin laxity or excess fat.
Dr. Szpalski recommends that candidates for NJ Kybella® should also share these characteristics:
- Be in good overall health, living a healthy lifestyle
- Be at least 21 years old
- Not be pregnant or breastfeeding
- Be non-smokers or willing to quit at least a week before and after the procedure
- Have realistic expectations and a positive outlook
- Understand the risks and benefits
Preparing for Your Kybella® Treatment
It is essential to be in good physical and mental health before any plastic surgery procedure, whether surgical or non-surgical. While each Kybella® treatment will be unique and tailored to your needs, here is some general information to help you get prepared.
- Be selective when choosing your aesthetic injector. Not all injectors are trained equally. Board-certified and internationally trained, Dr. Szpalski has received extensive education in anatomy.
- If you smoke, vape, or use nicotine products, you should quit. As smoking is detrimental to your health, especially during recovery from any plastic surgery procedure, patients should stop smoking at least one week before and after injectable treatments. Smoking, vaping, or using any nicotine product can greatly impact the longevity of your dermal filler results. Dr. Szpalski orders a nicotine test for all patients who smoke to help avoid complications caused by smoking or the use of nicotine products.
- For at least 48 hours before your Kybella® procedure, refrain from taking blood-thinning medications, vitamins, and supplements that are not medically necessary, as they may increase bleeding or bruising risks. Avoid supplements that contain fish oils, ginseng, vitamin E, garlic, and ginkgo biloba.
- Avoid alcohol or caffeine for at least 48 hours as they can cause additional bleeding and bruising.
- Come to your appointment with clean, moisturized skin, and wear comfortable clothing.
What to Expect During Kybella® Treatment
Your Kybella® treatment with Dr. Szpalski in Montclair, NJ, is a straightforward, in-office procedure that typically takes about 20 to 30 minutes. Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation: Dr. Szpalski will evaluate the fat under your chin, discuss your goals, and determine how many Kybella® treatments you’ll need to achieve the best results.
- Preparation: The treatment area will be marked, and a numbing agent may be applied to ensure your comfort during the injections.
- Injections: Dr. Szpalski will inject Kybella® into the targeted fat using a fine needle. The number of injections depends on the amount of fat being treated and your personalized treatment plan.
- Post-Treatment: After your injections, you may experience some swelling, redness, or bruising, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. As Kybella® requires no downtime, you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.
Your Kybella® Results: What to Expect
One of the best things about Kybella® is that the results are gradual, allowing for a natural reduction in submental fullness over time. You’ll start to see noticeable improvement after your second treatment, with your full results appearing 4 to 6 weeks after your final session.
Because Kybella® destroys fat cells permanently, the results are long-lasting, and once the fat is gone, it’s gone for good. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle is important to prevent the remaining fat cells from enlarging due to weight gain.
