Are the Results of Kybella Permanent? Essential Dermatology Explains!

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable solution aimed at diminishing moderate to severe fat located under the chin (double chin). Kybella is composed of deoxycholic acid, a substance that is naturally found in the body and aids in the breakdown of dietary fat. When administered in the region below the chin, Kybella eliminates fat cells, which are then eliminated through the body’s natural metabolic functions. The result is a more defined jawline and improved facial profile without surgery or liposuction.

Good question! Kybella is considered a long-term solution for submental fullness. Once Kybella destroys fat cells, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat again. The body permanently removes them, which means the treated fat cells do not return.

However, there is an important disclaimer. While the eliminated fat cells cannot return, the remaining fat cells can enlarge and reverse the progress if you gain significant weight. That’s why we advise patients to maintain a stable weight to help preserve their results.

Even with a healthy lifestyle, fat under the chin can persist, often caused by factors beyond your control, such as genetics and aging. If you feel that a double chin makes you look older or less confident, Kybella offers an effective solution to eliminate unwanted fat without surgery or prolonged downtime.
