Kybella® is a non-surgical injectable treatment designed to reduce excess fat beneath the chin, commonly known as a double chin.

Kybella® offers a targeted solution by breaking down fat cells, helping create a more contoured and defined jawline over time.
At Mrudangi Thakur, MD, in Middletown, NY, Kybella® treatments are performed with precision and a personalized approach. Dr. Mrudangi Thakur is a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive experience in facial aesthetics, offering treatments that enhance natural contours while maintaining balance. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual, ensuring results that look refined and natural.
What Is Kybella®?
Kybella® is an injectable treatment made from deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected beneath the chin, it targets and destroys fat cells, which are then gradually eliminated by the body.
Once these fat cells are removed, they can no longer store fat, making the results long-lasting with proper weight maintenance.
Kybella® is specifically designed to treat:
-
Submental fullness beneath the chin
-
Mild to moderate double chin concerns
-
Loss of jawline definition caused by excess fat
The Benefits Of Kybella®

Long-lasting fat reduction
The treatment allows for progressive improvement, which can feel more natural compared to immediate surgical changes.
What To Expect During Treatment
Kybella® treatments are typically completed in a short office visit. A series of small injections are placed under the chin, targeting the fat cells in the treatment area.
Patients may experience mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising following treatment, which is a normal part of the process as the body begins to break down the treated fat cells. Swelling is often most noticeable in the first few days and gradually subsides.
Multiple treatment sessions are usually recommended to achieve optimal results, spaced several weeks apart. Over time, the treated area becomes slimmer and more defined as the body processes and eliminates the fat.
