Both men and women of any age and weight can be unhappy with a “double chin.” Submental fullness, which is the technical term for visible fullness and roundness of fat under the chin, often resists all your efforts at diet and exercise, with liposuction previously being the only solution. Today, to treat this condition, the specialists at Kucumber Skin Lounge use Kybella™, the only non-surgical injection designed to target and destroy the walls of fat cells for a reduction in the appearance of facial fullness beneath your chin. Revolutionary Kybella was awarded an Allure 2015 Beauty Breakthrough. Now you can feel renewed confidence in your appearance when you:

Kybella is a non-surgical injectable that helps reduce fullness under the chin, commonly called a “double chin.” It works by using a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which is something your body already makes to break down dietary fat. When injected directly into that soft pocket under the jawline, Kybella goes to work breaking down fat cells, which are then naturally processed and cleared by your body over time.
With Kybella, once the fat cells are destroyed, they don’t come back. The result is a smoother, more defined chin profile, without surgery or significant downtime. It’s the only FDA-approved injectable for submental fat, and it’s become a go-to option for people who want subtle, long-lasting results without going under the knife.
If you've ever felt frustrated by that stubborn bit of fullness under your chin, especially when it doesn’t seem to budge no matter how much you diet or exercise, Kybella might be worth it. It's a subtle but effective way to improve facial contour, especially if you want definition without surgery or scarring.
It’s also a treatment that fits easily into everyday life. The sessions are quick, and there’s no long recovery process to plan around. Over time, Kybella can help boost confidence in how you look from the side, in photos, or on video calls. For many people, that small change makes a big difference in how they feel.
Benefits of Kybella:
When it comes to getting rid of fat under the chin, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Kybella, liposuction, and CoolSculpting are all effective in different ways, depending on your preferences, comfort level, and how quickly you want results. Below is a quick overview to help you understand the differences so you can decide what might be the best fit for your goals. Some people want the fastest change possible and don’t mind the idea of surgery. Others want something more gradual and noninvasive. None of these options are “better” across the board. It really just comes down to what works best for you.
This is an injectable option that works over time. Most people need a few sessions spaced about a month apart, but there’s no cutting, no suction, and no anesthesia. It’s ideal if you’re looking for a gradual shift and want to avoid surgery. You can expect some swelling or tenderness, especially after your first treatment, but recovery is usually easy.
Liposuction offers immediate fat removal using a small suction tool inserted through a tiny incision. It’s surgical, which means there’s anesthesia involved and more downtime than non-surgical options. But if you're looking for a one-and-done solution and don’t mind taking time to recover, it can be a good option, especially if your skin is firm and elastic.
CoolSculpting works by freezing fat cells so your body can clear them out gradually. It’s completely noninvasive, no needles or incisions. You’ll likely need a couple of treatments to get the results you want. There’s typically little to no downtime, and it’s a good choice if you’re needle-averse or prefer a more passive treatment.
The best candidates for Kybella are adults with moderate to severe fat under the chin who are looking for a non-surgical solution. If you're generally healthy, have good skin tone, and want to refine your profile without taking time off for surgery, Kybella might be a great fit. It’s also ideal for people who have tried to lose that pocket of fat through diet or exercise, but haven’t seen much change.
That said, Kybella isn’t for everyone. If you have trouble swallowing, nerve issues in your face, or an infection near the treatment area, it may not be recommended. It’s also not approved for use anywhere but the chin, so it won’t be used to treat fat on the belly or other areas. Your provider will walk through your health history and goals to help you decide if this is the right choice.
Your Kybella journey starts with a one-on-one consultation. This is your time to ask questions, talk through your goals, and see if the treatment makes sense for your needs. Your provider will examine the area under your chin, explain how many sessions you might need, and go over what kind of results you can expect. Everything is customized based on your facial anatomy and how much fat you’re looking to reduce.
Preparing for the appointment is pretty simple. You’ll want to avoid alcohol, aspirin, and anything else that might thin your blood for a few days before the treatment. This helps cut down on bruising. Show up with clean skin, skip makeup or lotion on the chin and jawline, and wear something comfortable. That’s really it.
As part of your pre-treatment assessment, your skin’s elasticity will be evaluated to ensure the skin will “snap back” once the fat has been eliminated. Skin with poor elasticity may still sag, leading to less-satisfying outcomes. Your Kucumber specialist can suggest additional treatments to improve skin elasticity, such as laser skin tightening, for optimal outcomes from your Kybella treatment.
Common side effects of Kybella include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area.
These effects typically resolve within eight days post-injection. Once you reach your desired treatment goals, additional injections are not typically needed since the treated cells can no longer store fat. Fat will not recur in a treated area; however, post-procedure weight gain can lead to undesirable fat deposits in adjacent areas.
Kybella is the definitive non-surgical treatment for fullness under the chin. With this advanced Kucumber service, you can feel positive about your newly defined facial contours.
Results with Kybella show up gradually. You’ll likely start seeing some change after your first session, but most people need two to four treatments for the full effect, sometimes up to six. These sessions are spaced about a month apart, so the results build over time. It’s subtle and natural-looking, which is exactly what many people want.
After treatment, you might notice swelling, tenderness, or some firmness in the treated area. That’s completely normal and a sign that the product is working. You can usually go right back to daily life, though it’s a good idea to skip the gym or hot showers for a day or two. To keep your results looking sharp, stay hydrated, follow aftercare directions, and try to maintain a stable weight.

Hidden Agenda Serum: Shake gently. Begin using 3 days prior to treatment. Continue using morning and night, 3-4 times daily until symptoms fade. Apply generously on the injection site and surrounding area avoiding eye contact. Continue using in between injection cycles for best skin health results, plug into your favorite skin care regimen, and for best results pair with the Ciao For Now mask.
Ciao For Now Mask: Use the Ciao For Now mask on clean, dry skin within a few hours post injections. Apply a generous amount onto the skin with upward strokes over the entire face, avoiding eye contact. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and gently rinse with lukewarm water. Apply as often as needed.
To maximize cooling effect, refrigerate in between use. For best results, follow with Hidden Agenda Pre & Post care Serum.
Kybella is customized to fit your needs, so pricing can vary depending on how much product is used and how many sessions are needed. Some people only need two sessions; others may need more to get the best results. At your consultation, your provider will map out a clear plan and give you a breakdown of what to expect in terms of cost.
Your treatment fee usually includes the injections, any numbing agent, and the full appointment experience from start to finish. If you’re combining Kybella with other services, like skin tightening or filler, we’ll also go over how that fits into your overall plan and pricing.
