What to know: using Kybella injections for double chin removal
Dr. Molly Walterhoefer and her team at Current Dermatology and Cosmetic Center in Annapolis, Maryland, understand that imperfections of the face and body, including a double chin, can make patients self-conscious about their looks. A double chin, also known as ‘submental fullness,’ can give an otherwise healthy individual the appearance of extra weight. We understand that invasive procedures such as liposuction are not for everyone and offer a safe and effective alternative known as Kybella injections.
What is Kybella?
Our team at Current Dermatology and Cosmetic Center describes Kybella injections, also known as deoxycholic acid, as a synthetic form of a naturally occurring molecule that is present in the body that helps break down fat cells. It is FDA-approved for treating submental fullness, also known as a double chin.
How do Kybella injections work to reduce submental fullness?
Kybella destroys fat cells under the chin, preventing them from storing or accumulating fat in the future. This results in a more defined and contoured jawline as well as an improved profile contour.
Are Kybella injections safe?
Absolutely! Our team is pleased to provide trained and experienced providers who can administer Kybella safely and effectively to reduce potential side effects and complications. This medication has been extensively studied and is FDA-approved for adults over 18.

How many treatments of Kybella injections will I need to get the results I want?
The number of treatments required may vary based on individual factors like the level of submental fullness and desired outcomes. However, most patients see visible improvements after two to four treatments. Dr. Walterhoefer and her team can provide a personalized treatment plan that is based on your specific goals and needs.
How much does Kybella cost?
The cost of Kybella is determined by the amount of medication injected during each treatment session. When you visit our doctor for a consultation appointment, she can discuss with you the expected cost of each treatment session and the overall costs involved in getting the results you desire. Kybella is considered an elective or cosmetic procedure and is often not covered by regular health insurance plans.
