At DIVINE, A Boutique Medspa, Kybella® treatments are designed to refine facial contours and reduce unwanted fullness beneath the chin through a precise, non-surgical approach. For many patients, submental fullness, often referred to as a “double chin,” can persist despite consistent diet and exercise. Kybella® offers a clinically proven solution that permanently destroys targeted fat cells beneath the chin, helping create a more sculpted jawline and a more defined facial profile. Our St. Louis, MO medspa customizes every treatment to the patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals to achieve natural-looking, balanced results.
Kybella® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fullness beneath the chin. The treatment contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat.
When strategically injected into targeted areas, Kybella® works to gradually destroy fat cells beneath the skin. Once these fat cells are eliminated, they can no longer store or accumulate fat in the treated area. This makes Kybella® an effective long-term solution for patients seeking improved jawline definition without surgery or liposuction.
At DIVINE, treatment plans are carefully customized based on facial anatomy, skin quality, and the degree of fullness present to ensure refined, proportionate outcomes.
Kybella® offers both aesthetic and long-term contouring benefits for patients struggling with stubborn pockets of fat beneath the chin. As fullness is gradually reduced, patients often notice improved jawline definition, enhanced facial balance, and a more sculpted side profile.
Because Kybella® permanently destroys targeted fat cells, results can remain long-lasting once the desired contour is achieved. Many patients appreciate that treatment is performed without surgery, anesthesia, or extended downtime, allowing for gradual refinement with minimal interruption to daily activities.
In addition to improving submental fullness, Kybella® may also support greater confidence by restoring a more defined and youthful facial appearance.
Kybella® is most commonly used to treat submental fullness beneath the chin, often referred to as a double chin. Patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle but continue to experience fullness in this area may benefit from targeted injectable fat reduction.
In select cases, Kybella® may also be considered for other small, localized pockets of stubborn fat depending on the patient’s anatomy and treatment goals. During consultation at our St. Louis medspa, we carefully evaluate candidacy and determine whether Kybella® is the most appropriate treatment option.
Every Kybella® treatment at DIVINE begins with a comprehensive consultation and facial assessment. We evaluate the amount of submental fullness, skin elasticity, jawline structure, and overall facial proportions to create a customized treatment plan.
During the procedure, a series of carefully placed injections is administered into the targeted treatment area beneath the chin. The deoxycholic acid gradually breaks down and destroys fat cells over time, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them through metabolic processes.
Most patients require a series of treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal contouring. The number of sessions varies depending on the amount of fullness being treated and the patient’s desired outcome.
Kybella® is appropriate for adults seeking non-surgical improvement in submental fullness and jawline definition. Ideal candidates are generally at or near a stable weight but continue to experience stubborn fullness beneath the chin that does not improve with lifestyle changes alone.
Patients with good skin elasticity and realistic expectations often achieve the most favorable results. During consultation, our providers carefully assess anatomy, skin quality, and overall facial balance to determine whether Kybella® is the best treatment approach for your goals.
Kybella® treatments are performed comfortably in-office and typically require minimal downtime. During the appointment, patients may experience temporary warmth, pressure, or mild stinging as the injections are administered.
Following treatment, swelling beneath the chin is expected and is a normal part of the treatment process as the body responds to the breakdown of fat cells. Mild tenderness, redness, or firmness in the treated area may also occur temporarily.
Results develop gradually over several weeks as the body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells. With each session, patients typically notice greater contour definition and a reduction in fullness beneath the chin.
At DIVINE, Kybella® treatments are approached with precision, facial artistry, and individualized planning to ensure elegant, natural-looking contouring results. Our St. Louis medspa prioritizes balanced enhancement and careful anatomical assessment to preserve harmony throughout the lower face and jawline.
