What Is Kybella?
Kybella is the only injectable treatment approved by the FDA to permanently destroy fat cells under the chin. Its active ingredient—deoxycholic acid—is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down dietary fat. When injected into submental fat, Kybella destroys fat cells, which are then metabolized and eliminated by the body over time.
Kybella is commonly used to treat:
- Mild to moderate submental fullness
- Soft tissue fullness under the chin and jawline
- Blunted neck-to-chin transition due to excess fat

Candidates for Kybella—Who Can Benefit and Why?

- Non-surgical and minimally invasive
- Permanent fat reduction with a defined jawline
- Minimal downtime compared to liposuction
- Quick in-office treatment sessions
- Boosts profile confidence and facial harmony
- Suitable for adults with mild to moderate chin fullness
Kybella Treatment FAQs
What Should I Expect During the Treatment?
Each Kybella session takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. After cleansing and marking the treatment area, a series of small injections is administered directly into the submental fat. Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions, spaced about one month apart, though some may benefit from up to 6 sessions depending on their goals and fat volume.
How do I know if Kybella is right for me?
During your consultation at the Texas Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, our providers will assess your anatomy to determine if Kybella is the right option. Patients should have good skin elasticity and realistic expectations.
What Is the Recovery Period Like?
Downtime is minimal, but some swelling, tenderness, or bruising in the injection area is common for a few days following treatment. Swelling can be more pronounced after the first session but tends to lessen with each subsequent treatment. Most patients return to normal activities within 1 to 3 days.
How Much Does a Kybella Treatment Cost?
The cost of Kybella injections in Houston varies depending on the number of sessions and vials needed to achieve your desired contour. Pricing is tailored to each patient and will be outlined in your personalized treatment plan.
