Different people have different types of faces, each with their unique features. One distinctive facial type is a double chin. This is caused by fat storage in the chin, which then separates it into two, and is perfectly natural.
However, you may feel that your double chin affects your aesthetic appeal by reducing the sharpness of the jaw.
Some people are born with double chins, others develop it as they age while some may get it as a result of weight gain. Fortunately, there are simple ways to get rid of a double chin for those who feel it affects their body image.
One such option is surgery, but many people are hesitant to go under the knife for cosmetic purposes. The other option that we will explore in this article is Kybella, a non-surgical procedure that permanently breaks down a double chin.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is a non-surgical procedure that is used to strategically break down excess fat in the chin to remove double chins.
Kybella is made from deoxycholic acid. This substance is naturally produced by humans when they are breaking apart fat cells in the digestive process. It can be used to break down fat stored in any part of the body with minimal to zero side effects because the body is familiar with it.
Kybella is so safe and trusted that it obtained FDA approval shortly after it was developed. It is the best treatment for people with sensitive skin, people who cannot risk getting into surgery, or who react harshly to new chemicals.
Other benefits of Kybella include:
- Less expensive than cosmetic surgery
- No scars or incisions marks
- No extended recovery time
- Does not require anesthesia, therefore it does not have a painful recovery
- Permanent, single-session procedure
- Stubborn chin fat reduction without injury to surrounding tissues
- Permanent results if you maintain your weight
- It is a non-surgical outpatient procedure
- Minimal side effects that disappear shortly after the procedure
- It can be used in any other area containing fatty pockets, including your belly and thighs.
It must be noted that Kybella is only permanent if there is no excessive weight gain. This condition is dependent on how an individual distributes their fat when they gain weight. However, regardless of whether a person gains weight on their face last, it is best to avoid the risk.

How Does Kybella Work?
Kybella is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid that is naturally produced in human bile. Kybella works in the same way as the acid produced by the body: it destroys the cell membranes of fat cells thus breaking them down. When broken down, the fat cells can no longer stick to certain parts of the body in the form of subcutaneous fat.
The broken down fat molecules have to go somewhere after deoxycholic acid acts on them. In the body, they are broken down by deoxycholic acid so that they can be absorbed by the small intestines. With Kybella, they are broken down and removed by the body’s immune system.
Once Kybella treatment is done on an area, the cells in that area will no longer have the capacity to hold excess fat. Therefore, you will not need to have subsequent treatments for very few months or years. Kybella is a permanent procedure.
Although Kybella has fantastic results, they appear gradually. You will not notice immediate changes in submental fullness, but you will most certainly have a streamlined jaw forever.

Where Does It Treat?
Although Kybella is a popular treatment for double chins, it can be used for other parts of the body as we mentioned before. The mechanism used to permanently break down fat in the chin works perfectly for other parts of the body where fat is stored. When Kybella is used on the chin, it is known as ‘on label’ Kybella treatment and when used in areas other than the chin, it is referred to as an ‘off label’ treatment.
On Label
Kybella is the first and only drug approved by the FDA for the treatment of submental fat. This approval means that anytime Kybella is used in this way, it is being used ‘on label’. On label is a phrase used to refer to the use of a drug as described by the FDA label it comes with.
Off Label
When a doctor recommends a treatment or drug for use different from what has been approved by the FDA, it is considered an ‘off-label’ treatment. Such treatments are legal and perfectly safe, as long as they are prescribed by a certified doctor.
For Kybella, off-label treatments are especially helpful since the treatment can be useful on several parts of the body. These parts include:
- Abdominal area
- Upper arm area, especially the area above the breasts
- Armpit area to remove armpit fat
- Top and side of the knee
- Pubic area
- Inner and outer thighs
Kybella works best on small areas of fat as opposed to large masses of it.
