Understanding Kybella: The Science Behind Double Chin Reduction
What Is Kybella and How Does It Work?
Kybella is an injectable treatment consisting of deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in the body for fat absorption. When injected under the chin, it works by breaking down fat cells, leading to decreased fullness in that area.
Kybella, with its generic name being deoxycholic acid, is recognized as the top FDA-approved method for addressing moderate to severe fat under the chin, otherwise called a “double chin.” Before Kybella, there were no nonsurgical options for treating submental fullness.
Revolutionary Non-Surgical Solution
Kybella offers a revolutionary way to contour the area without surgery. Compared to plastic surgery, Kybella is a low-risk procedure with short downtime, making it popular among individuals who wouldn’t typically consider plastic surgery or any medical aesthetic treatment.
The Science of Deoxycholic Acid
The main ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a molecule found naturally in the body, essential for the breakdown and absorption of fats from food. The deoxycholic acid in Kybella is synthetically derived. When injected into subcutaneous fat, it destroys fat cells. Once these cells are destroyed, they cannot store or accumulate fat, and the body naturally metabolizes the fat, expelling the dead cells.
How Kybella Works in Perry Hall
Understanding the precise mechanism and treatment process
Consultation & Assessment
Dr. Nawrocki evaluates your candidacy, examines submental fat deposits, and creates your personalized treatment plan.
Precision Injection
Using a fine needle, Kybella is injected into multiple sites in the fat tissue under your chin, typically requiring 20 to 50 injections per session.
Fat Cell Destruction
Kybella causes the membranes of fat cells to dissolve. After the membrane is dissolved, the fat cell disintegrates and cannot grow back.
Natural Elimination
Your body naturally eliminates the destroyed fat cells over time. Visible results may take four to six weeks as the body clears away the destroyed fat cells.
What to Expect During Treatment
Most patients report a burning sensation as the active ingredient of Kybella begins to take effect during the injections. This feeling lasts only for a few minutes and can be managed with ice packs or over-the-counter pain relievers.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate for Kybella?
Determining if Kybella is right for you
Perfect Candidate Profile
- Bothered by submental fullness (double chin)
- Has firm skin tone and defined jawline
- Moderate to severe submental fat
- Good skin elasticity
- At or near stable body weight
- Desires non-surgical treatment
Important Considerations
- Effectiveness diminished with poor skin quality
- Weak underlying platysma muscle tone affects results
- May not work as well for larger-necked individuals
- Not suitable for treating sagging skin
- Alternative treatments available for skin concerns
Why Choose Kybella Over Surgery?
People bothered by stubborn fat under the chin and who want noticeable chin contouring without surgery are prime candidates. Kybella can eliminate fat without surgery’s risks, discomfort, and recovery time.
Kybella Treatment Areas and Applications
FDA-approved for specific cosmetic enhancement
Primary FDA-Approved Treatment Area
Kybella is specifically formulated to eliminate stubborn fat under the chin and improve profile contour along the jawline for the purpose of improving fullness under the chin and the chin profile by destroying fat cells in this region.
Kybella has been officially approved by the Food and Drug Administration for this purpose. Kybella is not suitable for treating sagging skin; alternative treatments like microneedling and chemical peels are available.
Treatment Process
Kybella is administered via injection into the region beneath the chin, where there is typically excess fat. Several Kybella sessions may be needed to attain the desired results, given that multiple submental fat regions may necessitate treatment.

Post-Care Instructions After Kybella in Perry Hall
From Green Relief Health – ensuring optimal recovery and results
Kybella requires minimal downtime. Still, proper aftercare helps minimize swelling and supports optimal results. We advise the following self-care instructions:
Cold Therapy
Use cool compresses for 10 minutes at a time to reduce swelling and tenderness. Avoid applying ice directly on the skin.
Pain Management
Apply over-the-counter pain medication as needed for discomfort.
Activity Guidelines
Avoid vigorous exercise for 24 hours. Do facial exercises to encourage lymph drainage in the area.
Sleep Position
Sleep on your back with your head elevated for at least three nights.
Medication Safety
Avoid blood thinners like aspirin unless directed by your doctor.
Dietary Recommendations
Eat soft, cool foods for the first 24 hours. Avoid hard, hot, spicy, or acidic foods.
Area Care
Don’t massage or manipulate the injected area unless instructed.
Follow-Up Support
Contact us immediately for a follow-up appointment if you have excessive pain, swelling, or other concerns. We provide support throughout your treatment journey.
When Should I Make My Next Treatment Appointment?
Optimal scheduling for best results
Recommended Schedule
We recommend scheduling your follow-up Kybella appointment 4 to 6 weeks after your initial injections. For most individuals, 2 to 4 treatments are necessary, each spaced roughly one month apart.
Why Proper Spacing Matters
Doing treatments too soon reduces effectiveness, while spacing them too far apart disrupts cumulative improvements.
Treatment Progression
The number of Kybella vials needed may also decrease with subsequent appointments as there is less submental fat to treat.
Call us at any time to schedule your next session or ask questions. We are happy to provide Kybella support throughout your treatments.

sdecarlo3Google review“As this was my 1st time ever looking into getting Botox!! So , glad I choose Green Relief Health .. As, I was so nervous.. they made me feel right at home… as you walk in, you feel so relaxed. It’s so peaceful and calm you check in. It’s all about you. They’re asking if you need anything to drink what all they can help you with … after a quick little wait in the waiting room, Then brought back to a small peaceful quiet room did some before pictures and waiting on Lauren to come in. She was absolutely amazing. We had a mini consultation went over what I wanted to do with my face Which areas, etc. then I was asking her what she would suggest and I love the fact that she doesn’t want you to look too fake plastic she wants you to look Natural… Then we went over some prices we chose what we were gonna do and the price literally was back within A few minutes ready to go … but Absolutely love, the factthey give you a vibrating fidget toy To help calm your nerves as a peaceful, calm music in the background within three minutes she was done. She has such a light hand. You could not feel the needles at all. We went over the aftercare also what I was going to come back for etc., then we had went to the front to check out and pay. We went over the VIP packages. We then scheduled a three week check up appointment as well with face filler just in case I decided to go for doing the face filler but we also scheduled three month Botox appointment and then the six month Botox appointment. My overall experience was perfect. I would totally give them five stars hands-down as I said I don’t need three appointments so that tells it all!!!!!!”
jessica mGoogle review“Lauren is amazing! She explained every aspect of my appointment to me, which put my mind at ease. I was new to having fillers done and Lauren made sure I was comfortable and all of my questions were answered. The work she does is incredibly natural and I will absolutely be a return customer. It’s been about two months and I am still loving my results!”
Lissette HernandezGoogle review“i came for my first lip filler! i walked in nervous, but chilled out pretty quickly after sitting in the cute clean lobby; being kindly greeted by the front desk beauty who offered me me a beverage pointing to the cute little coffee bar set up. the wait was very short. dr. lauren came out and made me absolutely comfortable and calm throughout the entire process. she took her time. she explained processes, options, recommendations and pricing. along with after care and what to expect! definitely going back for more lip 💋”
Ciara SattizahnGoogle review“Lauren is AMAZING! I had been interested in getting lip filler for YEARS, but couldn’t find a provider whose work I admired. That is, until I found Lauren—her work included the most natural looking lip filler results I’d come across and I couldn’t wait to schedule an appointment. Once the day came, I was nervous and anxious, but Lauren and her staff were so friendly and calming that I knew I had made the right choice and was in great hands. Did I mention they have a number you can text if talking on the phone isn’t your jam? Heaven. I recommend Lauren and her establishment to any and everyone who wants amazing customer service and superior results 💜”
Brittany GladdenGoogle review“Dr. Lauren is incredible! She is honest and wants what is best for her clients. I have gotten lip filler and dysport and I have never been more obsessed with the results. Dr. Lauren kept my lip shape and enhanced them so beautifully. I also love how Dr. Lauren works with you and is honest with your needs and wants. Getting filler and Botox can be very costly and Green Relief works with you on pricing with rewards to get money off. The staff is incredibly nice and the space is super cute and clean. Love love love!!!”

Leah ReneaGoogle review“I just had my 2nd round with the Botox, juvederm. I have really notice my lines are softer and I feel and look younger. I believe. Lauren is not pushy, very knowledgeable and helpful in helping you along your way. She will give you details about each type treatment you agree too . Still no pain from the injections and no bruising as of one week later. I would highly recommend Lauren to any one of my friends, family.”
Deborah CarrollGoogle review“I highly recommend Dr Lauren at Green Relief. I never thought I would look into getting lip filler done but after a prior dental accident I was very self conscious about my smile as my gums are discolored and thought it wouldn’t hurt to having a consult. Having my lips fuller helps hide the discoloration of my gums and I’m so glad that I went with getting them done. Dr Lauren is wonderful. She took the time to educate and explained things to me. I love my smile again. Thank you!”
Meghan SvobodaGoogle review“Words can't describe how top notch this place is. Dr Lauren is a great artist! She is super kind and knowledgeable. This is now my new go to place for fillers and tox. U won't regret it”
Ms KnowItAllGoogle review“My facial with Alaina was absolutely wonderful. She was extremely professional and personable . I loved how she talked me through each step she was doing and explaining the benefits of each product and results I could achieve. I truly felt comfortable and relaxed . Throughout my appointment she asked how my temperature was feeling with heated towels and the chair . I truly appreciated this , because sometimes when having services done in general , I would be too shy to complain or ask to change something and she did not mind at all. I also loved how she cared about my needs and wants future wise for my skin care routine and actually asked me, as well as educated me on things I didn’t even know. She was a pleasure and this was my first facial ever !! I will continue to go back for more! If you want a clean , friendly , and professional esthetician to work on you , I highly recommend services at Green Relief Health ! All staff are professional and extremely educated on any services and questions you may have .”
BrookeGoogle review“I cant put into words how incredibly awesome my facial experience was with Alaina. When I arrived I was full of stress and when I left I could have floated out of there. Alaina herself is pure comfort and beautiful. Her talent and knowledge of the human anatomy is stellar. She is a gift to Green Relief and I recommend her highly. I'm 75 and with just one treament my face is actually glowing. I can't wait until my next appointment. God Bless, Deb Smith”
Debbie SmithGoogle review“I'd definitely recommend this place! Everyone was so friendly and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. They explained everything, answered all my questions, and the whole appointment was quick and easy. My Botox turned out exactly how I wanted—natural-looking and not overdone. I'm really happy with my results and will definitely be coming back! 😊”
Mary LudtkeGoogle review“Lauren , you and your team are professional , efficient and most friendly. Thank you for my summer time botox!!”
Sophia MontgomeryGoogle review“My facial and lash lift with Alaina were amazing!! So in love with my lashes – will definitely be coming back regularly:)”
Kat BensonGoogle review“Lauren makes you feel comfortable and explains the process of getting Botox. I will continue to see her and would recommend her practice.”
Danielle RedmerGoogle review“Lauren N. was very professional and made me feel comfortable for a Dysport injection. I had no issues or bruising, I don’t do them often but will definitely return.”
Pari BondGoogle review“Hello EVERYONE! I am very excited to report my Dysport results. It’s been 10 dayzzzz! All I can say is trust the process. I am still marveling at the transformation. I didn’t understand why I had to wait 2 weeks to see the full effect. At ten days I am good good! I am sold!!! I treated elevens and forehead. Just enough to still look and feel natural.”
riley rossGoogle review“I cannot recommend Alaina at Green Relief Health enough! From the moment you walk in, she makes you feel comfortable, cared for, and completely at ease. Her facials are hands down the best, and today I had my second microneedling session with her and once again I left beyond impressed.
Alaina is kind, informative, thorough, and truly passionate about what she does. She talks you through every step of the process, answers every question with patience, and makes sure you feel confident and educated about your skin care. What I appreciate most is that she always recommends realistic, affordable ways to care for your skin without pushing unnecessary products or treatments.
Not only do you leave feeling rejuvenated because of her technique and expertise, but honestly because of her calming presence as well. She is wonderful at what she does and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to truly invest in their skin and self care!”
Robin BladesGoogle review“Love coming here to get waxed. It’s more affordable compared to other places I’ve looked into. The staff is friendly. They’re very good at accommodating my sensitivities & allergies. I would definitely recommend booking an appointment here.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Kybella
Expert answers to your most common concerns
Is Kybella Permanent?
Yes, Kybella provides permanent results because it destroys fat cells. Once the fat cells are eliminated by the deoxycholic acid, they cannot regenerate or store fat again. However, maintaining a stable weight is important to preserve your results, as remaining fat cells can still expand with significant weight gain.
How Long Does It Take To See Kybella Results?
Initial results typically become visible 4-6 weeks after treatment as your body naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells. The full results continue to develop over 12 weeks, with final outcomes visible approximately 6 weeks after your last treatment session.
Does Kybella Dissolve All Fat Under The Chin?
Kybella targets specific areas where it’s injected, but it doesn’t remove all fat under the chin in one treatment. Multiple sessions (typically 2-4) are usually needed to achieve optimal results. The treatment is designed to reduce moderate to severe submental fullness, not eliminate all fat in the area.
Is Kybella Safe?
Yes, Kybella is FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by qualified providers like Dr. Nawrocki. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, pain, and numbness, which are temporary. Serious complications are rare but can include nerve injury or difficulty swallowing, which is why proper injection technique is crucial.
What Is Downtime Like With Kybella In Perry Hall?
There’s minimal medical downtime with Kybella – you can return to normal activities immediately. However, expect 3-7 days of “social downtime” due to noticeable swelling that can create a “bullfrog” appearance under the chin. Most patients plan their treatments around times when they can manage this temporary swelling.
