Top Questions About Kybella Fat Injections: What You Need to Know in Annapolis, MD
Are you self-conscious about the fat under your chin? You are not alone. Many struggle with a double chin, even with regular exercise and a healthy diet. Kybella fat injections offer a non-surgical solution to target and reduce this excess fat, resulting in a more sculpted and youthful appearance. At the Current Dermatology and Cosmetic Center in Annapolis, Maryland, we’re here to answer all your questions about Kybella and help you decide if it’s right for you.
What exactly is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce excess fat under the chin. The key component in Kybella, deoxycholic acid, is a substance naturally found in the body that aids in breaking down and absorbing fat. When injected Kybella destroys fat cells, which your body processes and removes. The result is a smoother, more defined jawline.
How does Kybella work to reduce fat under the chin?
Kybella is injected into the fat beneath the chin. It destroys fat cells, which the body removes naturally. Once these fat cells are gone, they don’t return, offering a permanent solution to the excess fat in the chin area. It typically requires multiple treatments spaced weeks apart, depending on the amount of fat present.
Is Kybella safe?
Yes, Kybella is FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by a trained, experienced professional. The procedure is minimally invasive, with few risks. At Current Dermatology and Cosmetic Center in Annapolis, our team of experts ensures you receive the highest level of care, ensuring your safety and comfort throughout the process.
How many treatments will I need?
Depending on their desired outcome, most patients will need between two and four treatments. Treatments are typically spaced four to six weeks apart to allow your body time to process and eliminate the broken-down fat. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your needs and recommend the best treatment plan.

What can I expect after the treatment?
After your Kybella treatment, you may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the treated area. These side effects are normal and subside within days. You may return to normal activities immediately, although it’s important to follow any post-treatment instructions. Full results typically appear within two to four months.
When will I see the results from Kybella injections?
You’ll see noticeable results within a few weeks, with full results within three to four months. As the fat cells are broken down and are removed, your chin will appear more defined.
Am I a good candidate for Kybella?
Kybella is ideal for people bothered by excess fat under their chin, also known as a “double chin.” If you have good overall health and are looking for a non-surgical solution to contour your jawline, Kybella may be a great option. During your consultation, we will assess your goals and discuss whether Kybella is the best solution for you.
