That little pocket of fullness under the chin can be stubbornly resistant to diet and exercise — and for many people it's simply genetic. Kybella offers a non-surgical way to address it. At USA Aesthetics in Port St. Lucie, Kybella is administered by Nidia Garcia, ARNP, who tailors each session to your anatomy and goals. It's a popular alternative to surgery for the right candidate, with results that, once you reach your goal, are designed to last. Individual results vary, and a consultation confirms whether Kybella is right for you.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment for reducing submental fullness — the fat beneath the chin often called a "double chin." Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a molecule your body naturally uses to break down dietary fat. When injected into the fat under the chin, it destroys those fat cells so they can no longer store fat. Because the treated cells are gone for good, once you've reached your desired result further treatment in that area typically isn't needed.
What Kybella treats
- Submental fullness — the "double chin"
- A softer, less-defined jawline caused by fat beneath the chin
- Genetic chin fullness that resists diet and exercise
Kybella specifically targets fat beneath the chin. If your concern is loose skin or jowls rather than fat, Nidia may recommend a different approach such as PDO thread lifts or skin tightening — which is exactly why a consultation matters.
What to expect
Each session takes about 15–20 minutes. Most people need a series of treatments spaced at least a month apart — the exact number depends on the amount of fullness and your goals, and Nidia maps this out for you. Some swelling under the chin is expected after treatment (it's a sign it's working) and can last several days to a couple of weeks; many clients plan their first session before a quieter stretch. We'll review the full aftercare so you know exactly what to expect. Individual results and the number of sessions vary.
Transparent pricing
Kybella is $430 per vial at USA Aesthetics, and the number of vials per session depends on your treatment plan — which we confirm at your consultation, before anything begins. Flexible monthly financing through Cherry is available, and members enjoy additional savings across our services.
