Kybella Before & After | Submental Fat Reduction in a Younger Patient

She wanted a non-surgical option for under-chin fullness that had been a lifelong feature, not a weight issue. Liposuction had been the elsewhere recommendation.

On assessment, the under-chin region showed localized fat with preserved skin elasticity. The chin position was within anatomic range. The pattern reflected genetic fat distribution rather than weight-related accumulation. Kybella suited this presentation because younger skin retracts efficiently once the underlying fat is treated, which tends to give a cleaner contour result for the same anatomic concern.

Kybella was injected across the submental fat to address the under-chin fullness directly. Mild swelling is expected after each visit and resolves on its own. Younger skin tends to retract more efficiently, which often means a cleaner contour result for the same anatomic concern. In the after image, the submental fullness has resolved, the under-chin contour reads as defined, and the jawline-to-neck transition is sharper. Treated fat in this region does not return when the patient's weight stays steady. The result is durable when the biology is on the patient's side.
