Kybellain New York City​

Kybella is an FDA approved (deoxycholic acid) injection used to reduce double chins or “heavy necks” by breaking down fat and absorbing it. Kybella helps to permanently eliminate submental fullness under the chin while contouring the neck and jawline.
Fat accumulation under the chin can occur in both adult women and men as we age and frequently loss of fat bulges under the chin is difficult with dieting and exercise. Kybella injections are a simple targeted non-surgical option that is a viable option to attempt before exploring liposuction of the neck or a neck lift. Kybella is not ideal for patients who have excess hanging skin under their neck, but would rather be great candidates for a neck lift by Dr. Kopelman.
Kybella works by destroying fat cells in the targeted area while simultaneously tightening the skin around your neck. Kybella reduces fat gradually and requires that patients one have two to three treatments spread out every 6 weeks. Once you have completed your Kybella treatments, it is likely that you will not require additional treatments in the future because you have destroyed the fat deposits from accumulating and storing fat

Frequently asked questions
about Kybella Injections

Kybella is made of deoxycholic acid which can reduce the fat beneath your chin with a series of injections that will melt fat away. Once the fat cells are destroyed they are eliminated and expelled by the body.

Not everyone who has a bulge of fat beneath their chin are good candidates for Kybella. Usually patients between their thirties and sixties are the best candidates for the procedure. These patients typically have good skin tone and do not have extreme degrees of skin or muscle laxity which predisposes to respond to Kybella in the most favorable way.If on the other hand you have significant skin and muscle laxity then Kybella would not be the treatment of choice. Therefore, it is important to consult with a facial plastic surgeon who can decide which treatment option is ideal for you before you embark on this treatment.
