Kybella is an injectable form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally produced in the body to break down dietary fat. When injected into submental fullness (double chin), it destroys fat cell membranes so the body permanently clears them.
A Kybella session at Genevieve & Co. takes about 20 minutes. After numbing, a grid of tiny injections is placed under the chin. Expect swelling ("bullfrog" look) for 3–7 days and mild tenderness for about a week. Most patients need 2–4 sessions to reach their goal.
Because Kybella destroys fat cells rather than shrinking them, results are permanent as long as your weight remains stable. Most patients complete their series and never need retreatment in that area.
Kybella is ideal for adults with moderate submental fullness and good skin elasticity. Patients with significant skin laxity may benefit more from Onda Pro skin tightening or a combined approach.
