Our skilled team is proud to offer this FDA-approved procedure as part of our commitment to helping you look and feel your best.

Understanding Kybella

Kybella is an innovative injectable treatment designed to target submental fat, often referred to as a double chin. What sets Kybella apart is its FDA approval for non-surgical fat reduction in the neck area, making it a safe and effective option for rejuvenating your appearance.

At Tara Cutrone Medical Aesthetics, our experienced professionals, under the guidance of Tara Cutrone, NP, use Kybella to address the excess submental fat that can accumulate due to factors like genetics, weight gain, or the natural aging process. Unlike other areas of the body where diet and exercise can help, the chin area often proves stubborn. Kybella is here to help.

How Kybella Works

Kybella's active ingredient is Deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the human body. It's responsible for breaking down dietary fat. During the Kybella treatment, this injectable is skillfully administered to the fatty area beneath your chin. The process begins to damage and dissolve the fat cells. Since Deoxycholic acid is natural to our bodies, it safely metabolizes and removes the unwanted fatty tissues.


Most patients start seeing results within four to eight weeks following their Kybella treatment. As the fat tissues break down and dissolve, you'll notice a smoother, more youthful appearance in your chin and neck.


As Kybella is a non-invasive treatment, recovery is typically swift, with many patients resuming their daily activities, including exercise, on the same day. There are no restrictions following Kybella injections.

What to Expect During Your Kybella Treatment

A typical Kybella session involves a series of injections, often up to 50, targeting the fatty tissue beneath your chin. The number of injections varies based on the amount of submental fat being treated. A Kybella session is usually completed in under 30 minutes, and we can provide local or topical anesthetic for additional comfort. Most patients typically require two to four sessions spaced out every four to six weeks, depending on their unique goals and requirements.


The best part? Kybella's results are permanent, giving you a lasting solution for a more defined chin.

Is Kybella Right for You?

Kybella is suitable for individuals over the age of 18 looking for a non-surgical solution to eliminate stubborn submental fat. Whether you're a man or woman, regardless of your skin type or ethnicity, Kybella can provide significant results. However, it's essential to note that Kybella is not recommended for individuals with bleeding disorders, infections, or expectant mothers. During your consultation, Tara Cutrone, NP, will assess your goals and medical history to determine if Kybella is the right fit for you.
