You’ve done everything right. You committed to your wellness journey, stuck with your routine, and started seeing real results. Whether that meant losing weight, building strength, or feeling more confident in your skin, it’s something to be proud of.

But despite your progress, you might still notice fullness under your chin. If you’ve ever thought, “I lost weight but still have a double chin,” you’re not alone. And more importantly, there’s nothing wrong with you.

Non-Surgical Solutions Exist

While surgical options like liposuction or a neck lift are available, they’re not the only path. For many, a less invasive treatment with minimal downtime is the preferred option.

Kybella® is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for reducing submental fullness. It’s FDA-approved and works by permanently destroying fat cells in the area beneath the chin.

What Is Kybella and How Does It Work?

Kybella uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down fat. When injected under the chin, it targets and destroys fat cells, which the body then eliminates over time. Once those cells are gone, they’re gone for good.

The treatment typically takes under 30 minutes and requires no incisions or anesthesia. Most patients are back to their normal routine within a few days.

Is Swelling Normal After Kybella?

Yes, swelling is part of the process—and a good sign that your body is responding. Many patients experience moderate swelling for a few days after treatment, and some numbness or tenderness is common. This is your body beginning to break down and clear away the fat cells, and for many, it also leads to some skin tightening in the area.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Most people need between two and four treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve their ideal result. The number of sessions depends on the amount of fat in the area and your desired level of contour. Your Skin by Lovely Injection Specialist will customize a plan that works for your goals and facial anatomy.

Can I Combine Kybella with Other Treatments?

Absolutely. Many patients pair Kybella with jawline dermal fillers or wrinkle relaxers for a more balanced and defined look. We’ll guide you through the best combination of treatments based on your unique features.

What If I’m Also Frustrated by Other Areas of Stubborn Fat?

While Skin by Lovely focuses on facial aesthetics, we understand how frustrating it can be to deal with fat in areas like the abdomen, arms, or thighs. If you’re interested in body contouring, we’re happy to refer you to trusted local providers who offer non-surgical options.

You’re Not Doing Anything Wrong

Having a double chin after weight loss doesn’t mean you’ve failed or fallen short. It’s simply how your body is built—and you have options. Whether you’re hoping to create more jawline definition or just want to feel more confident in photos, we’re here to help you explore safe and effective treatments like Kybella.
