Before & After Pictures

Kybella® is an injectable treatment designed to treat submental fullness (double chin).  Kybella® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that destroys fat cells under the chin. The active ingredient in Kybella®, deoxycholic acid, is found naturally in the body and aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.  Kybella® is injected under the chin and destroys fat cells.  Once destroyed, the cells can no longer store or accumulate fat.  It is possible to need more than one treatment, but once you reach your desired look, no further treatments will be needed. Kybella® is the procedure of choice for double chin treatment in Miami.
