Kybella in Bellevue, WA
Kybella in Bellevue dissolves submental fat to reduce a double chin — no surgery required.
Quick answer
Kybella is an injectable made of deoxycholic acid that permanently destroys fat cells beneath the chin, gradually reducing a “double chin” without surgery. A series of quick treatments delivers a more defined jawline and neck.
Submental fullness — the “double chin” — can persist regardless of weight. Kybella injections dissolve those fat cells, and because the cells are gone for good, results are permanent once you reach your goal. Most patients need a small series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.
For patients with significant fat or loose skin, Dr. Day may recommend liposuction or a neck procedure instead — an advantage of consulting a surgeon.
Is Kybella right for you?
You may be a good candidate if:
- ✦
You have a double chin resistant to diet and exercise
- ✦
You prefer a non-surgical option
- ✦
You have good skin elasticity
- ✦
You’re willing to do a short series of treatments
Recovery
Expect some swelling under the chin for several days after each session; results build gradually over the series.

Frequently asked questions
Is Kybella permanent?
