Kybella for Double Chin: Start Now for a Sculpted Summer Jawline

As warmer weather and social events approach, many patients begin thinking about how they want to look and feel. One common concern is excess fat beneath the chin — often referred to as a double chin. At MDCS Dermatology, we offer targeted treatments like Kybella to reduce submental fullness and help you achieve a more defined jawline. Christos Zouzias, MD, MBA works with patients to craft customized treatment plans that fit their goals and timelines — especially for those who want noticeable contouring by summer.

What Is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA‑approved injectable treatment designed to specifically target and break down fat cells under the chin. Its active ingredient is a form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule that helps the body absorb dietary fats. When injected into submental fat, Kybella permanently destroys fat cells — meaning once they’re gone, they don’t come back.

Unlike surgical options like liposuction, Kybella requires no incisions and typically involves minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for patients seeking a non‑surgical solution.

Why Start Now for Summer Results

1. Multiple Sessions Are Key

Kybella treatments are often administered in a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. Starting in late winter or early spring ensures you have enough time to complete your treatments and see optimal results by summer.

2. Gradual, Natural‑Looking Improvement

Kybella works over time as your body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells. Results are subtle yet noticeable, leaving you with a naturally sculpted jawline.

3. Minimal Downtime

Most patients return to regular activities shortly after treatment. While some swelling or tenderness can occur, it typically resolves in a few days — making scheduling around daily life easy.

4. Boosted Confidence in Summer Styles

A defined jawline can enhance your overall profile and confidence — whether you’re in swimwear, photos, or social events.

What to Expect During Treatment

During your consultation at MDCS Dermatology, Christos Zouzias, MD, MBA assesses your jawline anatomy and discusses your goals. Kybella injections are precisely placed into the submental fat, and a numbing agent may be used to improve comfort.

Most sessions take less than 30 minutes, and many patients begin to see improvement after 2–4 treatments. Results continue to improve over weeks following each session.

Who Is a Good Candidate?
Kybella is ideal for patients who:

• Have mild to moderate submental fullness

• Want non‑surgical contouring

• Are in good overall health

• Have realistic expectations about gradual improvement

During your visit, Dr. Zouzias evaluates your jawline and helps determine if Kybella is the best option — or if another treatment would better address your goals.

Post‑Treatment Care Tips
After Kybella injections:

• Expect mild swelling or tenderness for a few days

• Apply cold compresses to reduce swelling if needed

• Avoid strenuous activity on treatment day

• Follow any aftercare guidance provided by your clinician

These steps help ensure a smooth recovery and enhance your results.
