Kybella: Permanent Double Chin Reduction in Studio City

Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin. No surgery, no anesthesia, no implants: a series of small injections that dissolve submental fat your workouts can’t touch.

Once those fat cells are gone, they don’t come back.

How Kybella Works

Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body already uses to break down dietary fat. Injected under the chin, it ruptures fat-cell membranes; your lymphatic system clears the debris over the following weeks. Treated fat cells are permanently eliminated.

What to expect

  • Sessions: Most patients need 2 to 4 sessions, 6 to 8 weeks apart. Each takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Your plan: We map out how many sessions your chin actually needs and quote the full course at your consultation, before the first injection.
  • Downtime: Expect swelling for 3 to 7 days (this is the treatment working) and possible numbness or firmness that resolves on its own.
  • Results: Visible reduction typically after the second session; final contour 4 to 6 weeks after your last one.

Kybella vs. the alternatives

  • Kybella vs. liposuction: No incisions or anesthesia, but requires multiple sessions. For larger fat pads, ask about Smart Local Lipo.
  • Kybella + skin tightening: If skin laxity is part of the problem, pairing Kybella with Endolift tightens as it slims.
  • Jawline definition: Many patients finish with jawline filler or facial balancing for a complete profile upgrade.

FAQ

Yes. Kybella destroys fat cells, and destroyed fat cells do not regenerate. Significant weight gain can enlarge remaining cells, but the treated area stays proportionally slimmer.

Most chins need 2 to 4 sessions, and how many yours needs drives the total. We map out exactly how many at your consultation and quote the full plan upfront, so there are no surprises.

You’ll feel stinging and swelling for the first 15 to 30 minutes after injection. Ice and numbing keep the treatment itself very tolerable.

Plan on visible swelling for 3 to 7 days. Most patients treat on Thursday or Friday and are camera-ready by the next week.

MJ is fantastic! I was nervous and had a lot of questions but she was incredibly kind and answered all of them. My face is so much more balanced now and she was committed to helping me achieve the natural looking results I wanted.

I had an amazing experience with MJ! I saw her work on one of her other clients via Instagram and knew I had to go to her for Biofiller-I wanted something natural for my under eyes and I liked the before/after I saw on one of her other clients.

MJ is amazing! I look 10-15 years younger! MJ and her staff are so friendly, and she does amazing work! I never realized the artistry in sculpting a person’s face, trying to create symmetry in an assymetrical face, all while making you look natural.
