Kybella in Beverly Hills, CA
Non-Surgical Double Chin Removal
Submental fat or fullness, referred to by many individuals as a “double chin,” is a cosmetic problem that affects men and women of all weights and ages. While neck lift and liposuction are effective solutions for re-sculpting the neck and jawline, Charles S. Lee, MD and the team at Enhance® understand that not everyone is ready for surgery. Our team can eliminate the double chin with Kybella, a revolutionary injectable FDA-approved to gradually eliminate submental fat for a slender and youthful looking jawline.Kybella Treatment Details
Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected in the chin area, the Kybella solution targets and destroys fat cells.
Treatment with Kybella takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete. The exact number of injections administered varies patient to patient, as does the number of sessions needed. Most patients will need two or three sessions spaced out several weeks apart to achieve their desired results. Over time, the area looks slimmer. Once destroyed, the fat cells cannot return.

- Wish to avoid surgery or a lengthy recovery
- Are 18 years old or older
- Are in good overall health

What Should I Expect After Treatment?
Following treatment, you will notice minor bruising, swelling and redness in the treatment area. You may also feel some slight burning and stinging. These side effects are temporary and should subside soon after treatment.
There is very little downtime with Kybella. Most patients are able to return to work and their normal routine the day after treatment.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The exact number of sessions you will need will depend on your desired outcome and how much submental fullness is present. Dr. Lee and the team at Enhance® can determine the number of sessions needed after a personal consultation.

The results with Kybella are considered to be permanent because once the fat cells are eliminated from the body, they cannot return. If you gain weight in the future, it will be more evenly distributed throughout the face and body.
