Say Goodbye to Your Double Chin Without Surgery
Struggling with stubborn under-chin fat that won’t budge no matter how much you diet or exercise? You’re not alone. Submental fullness, also known as a double chin, affects many people—and it can make you look heavier or older than you feel. At QD Skinnovations, we offer Kybella in Carson, an FDA-approved injectable that permanently dissolves fat cells beneath the chin without surgery, downtime, or scarring.
Whether your double chin is due to genetics, aging, or lifestyle, Kybella offers a personalized and effective solution to help define your jawline and boost your confidence naturally.
What Is Kybella and How Does It Work?
Kybella is a prescription injectable made with deoxycholic acid, a molecule naturally found in your body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected directly into submental fat, Kybella destroys fat cells, which are then naturally metabolized and removed by your body.
Once the fat cells are gone, they don’t return.
This means Kybella offers permanent fat reduction in the treated area, making it a highly appealing alternative to liposuction for the chin.

What to Expect: Before, During, and After Kybella Treatment
Before Your Appointment
You’ll meet with one of our trained aesthetic injectors to review your medical history, discuss your goals, and plan the number of treatments needed. Most clients require 2-4 sessions spaced about a month apart.
During the Procedure
The treatment takes about 20-30 minutes. After mapping the injection points under your chin, your provider will administer a series of small injections. You may feel a slight burning or stinging sensation, which typically subsides quickly.
Aftercare & Downtime
- Swelling is the most common side effect and may last a few days up to a week.
- Mild bruising, tenderness, or numbness can occur but resolves with time.
- Most clients return to work or normal activity within 1-3 days.
When Will I See Results?
You’ll begin noticing visible improvements after 2-4 weeks, with full results developing over several months as the body gradually flushes out the destroyed fat cells.
FAQs About Kybella
What is Kybella approved for, and what should I know about safety?
Kybella is FDA approved for submental fat, the area under the chin, and has been studied in clinical trials for that use. Safety is a separate question from approval and is assessed individually. Side effects are expected rather than rare, with swelling, bruising and numbness common after treatment. Your medical history is reviewed at consultation to confirm the treatment is appropriate for you.
How many Kybella treatments will I need?
Most clients need 2 to 4 sessions, and some need up to 6, depending on the volume of fat and the result you want. Sessions are spaced to allow swelling to settle and the result to show. We will assess progress before each session rather than fixing the course upfront.
Is Kybella permanent, or will the fat come back?
Kybella works by breaking down fat cells in the treated area, and those cells are cleared by the body rather than returning. Remaining fat cells in the area and elsewhere can still enlarge with weight gain, so the result holds best alongside a stable weight. For that reason Kybella is described as long lasting rather than as a guarantee against future change.
What is the downtime after Kybella?
Expect noticeable swelling under the chin for several days to a couple of weeks, which is the normal response to the treatment rather than a complication. Bruising, numbness and firmness in the area are also common. Plan treatment well away from events where you want to look your best.
How does Kybella compare to liposuction?
Kybella is a non surgical injectable with no incisions and no general anesthesia, and far less downtime than surgery. It is best suited to a modest amount of fat under the chin rather than large volumes. Liposuction treats more in one procedure. We will say which fits your situation.
How should I prepare for a Kybella appointment?
Plan the appointment well away from any event where you want to look your best, because swelling under the chin is expected and can last from several days to a couple of weeks. Where your prescriber agrees it is safe, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements beforehand to reduce bruising. Arrange the following day lightly if you can.
How much does Kybella cost in Carson, CA?
Kybella is priced per vial, and the number of vials depends on the amount of fat being treated and how many sessions your plan involves. Because it is usually given as a series, your provider will set out the likely total across sessions rather than quoting one appointment. You receive an exact price at your complimentary consultation.
