Are you tired of that stubborn double chin that just won’t go away—no matter how much you diet or exercise?
At American Medical Center, we offer KYBELLA®, a non-surgical, FDA-approved injectable designed to target and eliminate submental fat (fat beneath the chin).
Whether it’s genetic or developed over time, KYBELLA® is a safe, non-invasive solution that helps contour the jawline and restore facial confidence—without surgery.
What Is KYBELLA® and How Does It Work?
KYBELLA® is made from synthetic deoxycholic acid, a substance found naturally in the body that helps break down dietary fat.
When injected into the area under the chin, it destroys fat cells, which are then naturally removed by the body over the following weeks. Once removed, these fat cells do not return, making KYBELLA® a long-lasting solution for double chin reduction.
The KYBELLA® Treatment Process
-
Your provider will take before photos and apply a numbing agent to ensure comfort
-
Injection sites will be mapped beneath the chin
-
Multiple small injections are placed into the targeted fat area
-
The treatment session typically takes 15 to 30 minutes
You may experience temporary swelling or soreness, which is a normal part of the fat breakdown process.
How Many Treatments Do I Need?
Most patients need 2 to 6 sessions, spaced about 6 weeks apart, depending on their goals and the amount of submental fat.
Visible results typically begin after 2 sessions, with optimal outcomes achieved after completing the series.
Is KYBELLA® Right for Me?
You may be a great candidate if you:
-
Are bothered by fat under your chin
-
Want a non-surgical, no-downtime solution
-

KYBELLA® is suitable for both men and women who want a more defined jawline and improved profile.
Side Effects and Safety
Side effects may include:
-
Swelling or bruising

These are temporary and usually resolve within days to weeks.
Rare side effects, like mild nerve irritation, have been reported in a small percentage of patients and tend to resolve without treatment.
