What is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin (submental fullness, or "double chin"). Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down dietary fat.

Treatment involves a grid of small injections under the chin and takes 15 to 20 minutes. Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for full results. You will see gradual fat reduction over 4 to 8 weeks after each session.

Kybella is priced per session. The total cost depends on how many sessions you need, which depends on the volume of fat to be reduced. Kybella is effective for pocketed submental fat but not for loose neck skin — Ultherapy or surgical lift is better for skin laxity.

How much does Kybella cost?

A single Kybella session nationally typically costs $1,200 to $2,400, with most patients needing 2 to 4 sessions. Total cost of a full treatment course nationally usually ranges from $1,200 to $4,800.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Kybella cost?
A single Kybella session across the US typically costs $1,200 to $2,400. Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions, bringing total cost to $2,400 to $6,000 for a complete treatment course. Pricing depends on how many vials (1 vial = ~25 small injections) you need per session.
How many Kybella sessions do I need?
Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Patients with mild submental fat may only need 2, while patients with more pronounced fullness may need 4 or more. Your provider should assess and give you a specific count during consultation.
Are Kybella results permanent?
Yes. Kybella destroys fat cells permanently — they do not regenerate. However, significant weight gain can still cause remaining fat cells in the area to expand. For most patients, results are long-lasting with stable weight.
What is Kybella recovery like?
Expect noticeable swelling for 3 to 7 days after each session, along with possible bruising, tenderness, and numbness. Swelling is often significant — plan around social events. Most patients return to work the next day.
Kybella vs CoolSculpting for a double chin?
Kybella is better for smaller, pocketed fat; CoolSculpting Mini is better for broader chin fullness. Kybella results come from a series of injections (2-4 sessions), while CoolSculpting is a single 45-minute applicator session that freezes fat. Both permanently reduce fat cells.
