Kybella Questions and Answers 

Q: What is Kybella?

A: Kybella is a prescription medication used to improve the profile and appearance of chin fat (submental fat), aka the double-chin.

Q: Is Kybella painful?

A: During clinical trials, most patients experienced swelling, numbness, bruising and mild pain after injections. These side effects can be managed with a numbing agent and ice. Discomfort should subside within a few days.

Q: Is Kybella safe?

A: Kybella is an FDA approved injection that dissolves submental fat underneath the chin. In 2015, a clinical study was concluded after 8 years with over 1,000 patients who had moderate-severe chin fat.
