Submental Fat Reduction
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment for moderate submental fullness. It uses synthetic deoxycholic acid to break down targeted fat cells under the chin, helping refine the cervicomental angle without surgery.
When We Recommend It
Kybella is best suited for patients with a defined pocket of under-chin fullness and good enough skin elasticity to contract after the fat is reduced. If laxity is the larger issue, Dr. Ortiz may discuss Endolift or collagen-stimulating options instead.
Kybella® — submental fat reduction
Dr. Ortiz plans each indication separately so dosing, device settings, downtime, and follow-up match the exact concern.
Kybella for under-chin fat reduction
