Kybella is the world's first and only injectable lipolysis treatment designed specifically to eliminate excess fat below the chin. With a few simple injections, you can now melt away fat to reveal sleeker, slimmer contours. Learn more, and schedule your consultation to discuss revolutionary Kybella treatment in Mission Viejo at Orange County Surgical Specialists.

What Is Kybella?

Excess submental fat can add pounds and years to your appearance. Excess fat stored in this area is often disproportionate to fat in other areas of the body. You can achieve a significantly more sculpted and youthful look by reducing fat beneath the chin.

Kybella allows you to permanently reduce submental fat for enhanced definition in the chin and jawline. Eliminating the need for incisions, sedation, and lengthy recovery, Kybella requires very little in terms of invasiveness and downtime.

Kybella is a prescription chemical lipolysis treatment containing deoxycholic acid that gradually melts fat upon injection.

As every patient's anatomy is unique, Kybella requires the precision of a skilled and experienced injector to produce your most exquisite results. At Orange County Surgical Specialists, you can rest assured that a highly qualified injection provider will administer your treatment with your best outcome in mind.

Your Mission Viejo Kybella Consultation

Your Mission Viejo Kybella Procedure

Our Mission Viejo Kybella process is quick and easy, requiring little to no preparation and taking only a few minutes in our office. You may receive a topical anesthetic to ensure your most comfortable experience, but Kybella is generally quite tolerable. Depending on your anatomy, your injection provider will administer a series of 15 to 25 Kybella injections throughout the area beneath your chin. You will be free to return to your day as soon as your treatment is complete. Most patients undergo two to four treatments to achieve optimal results.

Kybella Results

You will begin to notice the effects of your Mission Viejo Kybella treatment beginning about four weeks after your appointment. However, your results will continue to develop as lipolysis progresses. One of the beautiful things about lipolysis is that fat cells do not reproduce, meaning the fat you lose with Kybella will stay gone forever.

Kybella Recovery and Aftercare

The Kybella procedure is a nonsurgical method designed to reduce fat below the chin, also known as submental fat. Recovery after a Kybella treatment varies from person to person. Below is a comprehensive guide to ensure a smooth recovery process.

Immediate Aftercare

Immediately following the procedure, it is common to experience swelling, bruising, and numbness in the treated area. Keeping your head elevated and applying ice packs can help alleviate these symptoms. Avoid strenuous activities for at least 48 hours.

Managing Swelling

Swelling is a typical response and can last for several days. To help manage swelling, consider wearing a chin strap or compression garment as recommended by your healthcare provider.

Pain Management

Over-the-counter pain relievers can be used to manage discomfort. Consult with your doctor for specific recommendations suitable for you.

Monitoring for Side Effects

Be aware of any unusual side effects such as difficulty swallowing, uneven smile, or facial muscle weakness and report these to your doctor immediately.

Long-term Care

Results from Kybella can be long-lasting, but maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle is essential to prevent future fat accumulation.

Follow-up Appointments

Regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider will help track your progress and ensure the treatment's success.

Downtime: Zero

You will be able to return to all of your regular daily activities immediately after your treatment. However, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and tenderness around injection sites for a week or two after your procedure.

Kybella Frequently Asked Questions

What can you not do after Kybella?

You should avoid extreme temperatures (such as a sauna) and strenuous exercise for a minimum of 24 hours after your treatment. It is also important that you do not consume alcohol for at least 72 hours to help your body heal as quickly as possible.

Can Kybella work in just one treatment?

You can expect to notice a difference after just one treatment with Kybella. However, the total number of treatments you will need to achieve your ideal results will depend on how much fat is present and how your body responds to treatment.

Does it hurt?

There's usually a burning or warm sensation during the injections. A topical anesthetic is applied beforehand to take the edge off. Swelling, numbness, and tenderness afterward are normal.

Is Kybella safe?

It's FDA-approved for submental fat reduction. Like any injectable, it should be administered by someone with a thorough understanding of the anatomy involved. At Orange County Surgical Specialists, every Kybella treatment is approached with the same care as a surgical procedure.

What about loose skin under the chin?

Kybella removes fat but doesn't tighten skin. Patients with significant skin laxity alongside submental fat may benefit more from a surgical option, such as a neck lift. Dr. Bolourian will assess both at your consultation.

Can Kybella be used elsewhere on the body?

Kybella is FDA-approved specifically for under the chin. Off-label use in other areas is sometimes discussed, but those conversations happen on a case-by-case basis with a full review of what's appropriate for your situation.

Who shouldn't have Kybella?

Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active infection in the area, or have had prior procedures that significantly altered the anatomy of the chin or neck may not be good candidates. Your consultation will cover your full history before any plan is made.

How does it compare to liposuction?

Kybella is non-surgical with no incisions and very little downtime. Liposuction removes a larger volume of fat in a single session and may be a better fit for patients with more significant submental fullness. Both deliver real results. The right choice depends on how much correction you're after and how you feel about surgery.
