Kybella is a nonsurgical treatment designed to reduce fullness beneath the chin over time. For patients bothered by a “double chin” or less defined profile, Kybella can help create a more contoured appearance.
At My Plantation Dentist, Dr. Heidi Finkelstein provides personalized guidance to determine whether Kybella fits your facial goals and desired outcome.
Kybella may be a good option for adults who are concerned about fullness under the chin and want a nonsurgical treatment option. It is designed for targeted fat reduction beneath the chin, not overall weight loss. Kybella is a prescription medicine used mostly in adults to improve the facial profile appearance by reducing and eliminating moderate and severe fat cells located below the chin areas with a specific cosmetic approach.
Dr. Heidi will evaluate the area, discuss your goals, and help determine whether Kybella is the right choice for your needs.

Kybella vs. Other Facial Aesthetic Treatments
Kybella® uses an active ingredient called synthetic deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down fat. When injected, it destroys the fat cells underneath the skin, which results in a dramatic visible reduction of the double chin.
Kybella is different from treatments like Botox or dermal fillers. Botox relaxes muscles, fillers restore volume, and Kybella targets fullness beneath the chin. Dr. Heidi can help you understand which treatment, or combination of treatments, may best support your goals.
