Up to 47% of the United States population suffers from the dreaded double chin, which is also called submental fat. Fat builds up under the chin due to dietary insufficiencies, genetics, and/or lack of physical activity. By eating better and engaging in regular exercise, some patients can reduce or even eliminate that stubborn chin fat. However, for patients who cannot, Kybella® may be the answer.

What is Kybella®?

Kybella® is a treatment administered via an injection to treat excess submental fat.
