About Kybella
Why patients choose LIV
- Best for
- Moderate to severe fullness under the chin
- Sessions
- Often two or more
- Results
- Develop gradually as the area heals
- Downtime
- Swelling under the chin for several days
Kybella is designed to reduce moderate to severe fullness under the chin, often called a double chin. It targets the fat cells in that area, and your body clears them over the following weeks, so the chin and jawline contour gradually as the area heals.
Nurse injector Brenda Torres, BSN, RN, performs Kybella at LIV and plans the amount of product for your anatomy. It suits fullness caused by fat rather than loose skin, so we check which one you have first. If laxity is the bigger concern, we may suggest another option for the lower face instead.
Good for
- Moderate to severe fullness under the chin
- A double chin that diet and exercise have not changed
- A softer, less defined jawline profile
- Patients who prefer a non-surgical option
How it works
Kybella
Reduces fullness beneath the chin for a more defined chin and jawline, without surgery.
Kybella is a customized injectable treatment designed to reduce moderate to severe fullness under the chin and refine the appearance of the chin and jawline. It targets the fat cells beneath the chin, and results develop gradually as the treated area heals and contours over time.
Each session includes one Kybella treatment, with the amount of product determined by your plan. Many patients need two or more sessions, and swelling under the chin for several days is expected, so plan treatment away from big events.

Reviews
In their words
★★★★★
“I've been working with Brenda since 2022 for facial balancing after fracturing my entire face and the results have always been natural and beautiful.”
How many Kybella sessions will I need?
It depends on how much fullness you have and the result you want. Many patients need two or more sessions spaced several weeks apart, and we give you a realistic estimate at consultation.
How long does swelling last after Kybella?
Swelling usually lasts several days and can be noticeable, so we suggest booking at least a few weeks before a wedding, photos or a major event.
Are Kybella results permanent?
Treated fat cells are cleared by the body, so results are generally long lasting once you reach your goal. Significant weight changes can still affect the area.
How much does Kybella cost?
Each session is priced by the amount of product in your plan, which we confirm at consultation. The $150 consultation fee for new consultations is fully credited toward services booked.
