Introduction to Kybella

Permanently destroy stubborn fat cells underneath the chin

At Lohner Plastic Surgery, we can help you get rid of your double chin using KYBELLA. KYBELLA is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that can be used to permanently destroy stubborn fat cells underneath the shin to give your chin and jawline a slimmer and more defined appearance. We strive to provide our patients with the best KYBELLA results Philadelphia has to offer.

What is KYBELLA?

Let’s start with the basics

KYBELLA (deoxycholic acid) is an injectable drug that is used in adults to improve the appearance and profile of moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat), also called “double chin.”. When injected underneath the chin, Kybella latches on to fat cells and destroys them over time. The fat cells are then expelled naturally by the body. The fat cells are permanently destroyed so once the initial round of Kybella treatments are done additional treatments are likely not to be needed.
