Recognized as an effective non-surgical solution, Kybella targets stubborn fat under the chin, leading to increased satisfaction for those looking to boost their self-confidence.
Dr. Jeffrey Kims, a board-certified plastic surgeon, is dedicated to providing personalized Kybella treatments tailored to the unique needs of each patient.

You may be an ideal candidate for Kybella if you’re looking to reduce stubborn fat under the chin without resorting to surgical options. Generally, suitable candidates are in good overall health and seek a non-invasive treatment to address concerns such as a double chin or submental fullness.
It’s important to maintain realistic expectations, as Kybella is designed to provide subtle yet noticeable improvements rather than drastic changes. If you are not currently pregnant or nursing and have no existing skin conditions or allergies that could affect the treatment, Kybella could be a great fit for you. The best way to assess whether Kybella aligns with your aesthetic goals and health is to schedule a consultation with a qualified expert, like Dr. Jeffrey Kims.
During your initial consultation for Kybella, we will thoroughly assess your health and review your medical history to determine if this treatment is suitable for you. This consultation is the perfect time to ask questions or discuss any concerns you may have about the procedure, ensuring you feel confident and well-prepared. It’s important to share any relevant information, such as skin conditions, allergies, or current medical treatments, as well as any concerns about injections.
By providing this information, we can design a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific goals. Our priority is to ensure your safety and comfort while achieving the best possible results. With a customized approach, you can expect a slimmer, more contoured jawline through Kybella treatment.
The Kybella procedure is a non-invasive treatment designed to reduce submental fat and improve the contour of the jawline. During the session, a skilled practitioner, such as Dr. Kims, injects Kybella into targeted areas under the chin using a fine needle. The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, breaks down fat cells, which are naturally eliminated by the body over time.
The entire process usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, making it convenient for those with tight schedules. Some mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising may occur after the injections, but these symptoms typically resolve within a few days. Most patients can return to their regular activities shortly after treatment. It’s recommended to avoid vigorous exercise and sun exposure for a brief period to ensure optimal results. Visible improvement typically begins within a few weeks, with full results appearing over the following months. Depending on the amount of fat reduction desired, multiple treatments may be necessary, but the results are permanent once the fat cells are destroyed.
Recovery after Kybella is generally simple, but following aftercare is key to optimal results. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort are common right after treatment as fat cells break down. Applying ice for the first 24 to 48 hours helps reduce swelling. It’s also important to avoid touching the treated area and keep your head elevated.
Strenuous activity should be avoided for a few days, and drinking plenty of water aids the healing process. Side effects typically subside within a week, though tenderness may last longer. A follow-up may be recommended to monitor progress and decide if more treatments are needed.
Recovery after receiving dermal fillers is usually swift, allowing most patients to return to their daily routines right away. However, it’s essential to follow specific aftercare instructions to optimize the results. Avoid touching or massaging the injection sites for at least 24 hours to prevent any unwanted movement of the filler. Keeping your head elevated and avoiding lying flat for the first four hours post-treatment can also be beneficial. Additionally, to reduce the risk of bruising, it’s advisable to refrain from vigorous exercise, alcohol, and blood-thinning medications during this period.
Mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites can occur but typically resolves within a few days. By following the recommended aftercare steps, patients can expect to see initial enhancements shortly after treatment, with the full effects becoming visible within one to two weeks. Adhering to these guidelines not only helps achieve the best possible results but also extends the duration of the benefits from the dermal fillers.
The results of Kybella are typically long-lasting, as the treatment permanently destroys fat cells under the chin. Once these fat cells are eliminated, they don’t regenerate, allowing for a more defined jawline. However, factors like weight fluctuations or aging can impact the long-term outcome. Many patients see optimal results after two to four treatment sessions, spaced several weeks apart. To maintain the desired appearance, a healthy lifestyle is recommended. Periodic consultations with Dr. Kims can help determine if additional touch-ups are needed to sustain your sculpted, youthful look.
The cost of Kybella at Dr. Kims’ practice can vary depending on factors such as the size of the treatment area and the number of vials required. Typically, Kybella is priced per vial, with costs generally ranging from $600 to $1,200 per vial. Most patients need two to four sessions to achieve their ideal results, with each session requiring multiple vials. For a more accurate quote based on your specific goals, it’s best to schedule a consultation with Dr. Kims. During this meeting, you’ll be able to discuss your desired outcome and receive a personalized treatment plan with a detailed cost breakdown.
