Natural-Looking Results
Refine your jawline and reduce the appearance of a double chin with KYBELLA at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Spring Branch, TX. This FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically targets and eliminates fat cells under the chin, providing a non-surgical option for those looking to achieve a more contoured facial profile. With gradual, natural-looking results, KYBELLA offers a lasting solution to submental fullness.
KYBELLA addresses:
- Submental fullness, also known as a double chin
- Excess fat around the jawline
- Localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
- Small, targeted pockets of fat
How KYBELLA works
KYBELLA relies on deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring bile acid that helps the body break down dietary fat. When injected into the subcutaneous fat beneath the chin, it works to destroy fat cells, which are then metabolized and eliminated through the body's natural processes.
Since these fat cells are permanently destroyed, they can no longer store fat, making KYBELLA an effective solution for reducing submental fullness over time.
Benefits of KYBELLA:
- FDA-approved non-surgical treatment for reducing chin fat

Recovery, side effects, and downtime
Following your KYBELLA treatment, you may experience some temporary side effects such as swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. Bruising may also occur and could last from a few days to two weeks. While the downtime is minimal, it's advisable to avoid strenuous activity for 24-48 hours post-treatment. Applying ice and using Arnica Montana can help reduce bruising and speed up recovery.
Results: timing and longevity
You may begin to notice visible results a few weeks after your first KYBELLA session as your body eliminates the targeted fat cells. Full results typically become apparent after 3 to 6 treatment sessions, spaced about a month apart. Once your desired outcome is achieved, the results are long-lasting since the fat cells are permanently destroyed. However, maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle is essential to preserving your defined jawline.
