Kybella in Bradenton, FL
Passionate. Dedicated. Focused.
Kybella is a non-surgical treatment that is used to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. Multiple injections are often required, and the treated fat cells are permanently destroyed, resulting in a more contoured chin profile. The procedure is minimally invasive, with injections being administered by our healthcare professional.
Your initial consultation is a comfortable, informative visit where our provider evaluates your chin and neck area, discusses your goals, and determines whether Kybella is an appropriate option. During this appointment, our specialist will address excess fat concerns and explain how the injections work, what results to expect, and how many sessions may be needed. You’ll also receive a treatment plan tailored to your unique anatomy and desired outcome, ensuring the approach is safe, personalized, and aligned with best medical practices.
Swelling tends to be most noticeable during the first few days, and keeping the head elevated during rest can be helpful. This position helps minimize swelling and can promote proper healing. Tenderness, firmness, or numbness may also appear temporarily as the area adjusts. These effects improve gradually, and most changes resolve within a few weeks, allowing the chin and jawline to become more refined as the treatment progresses.
Kybella is a cosmetic treatment intended for adults and is typically recommended only after a complete medical evaluation. In general, it is considered for people looking to refine the area beneath the chin and who want a non-surgical approach.
