Kybella
for chin & body
A more defined profile without surgery. Kybella breaks down stubborn fat under your chin, and small pockets of pinchable fat on the body, the kind that diet and exercise often can’t touch.
Injected by Dr. Kat.
Every injectable at Renewal is done by Dr. Kat Lofley, a doctor of nursing practice. She studies how your face moves before she treats it, so results look like a rested version of you, never frozen.

Take this 60-second quiz. Four quick questions and we’ll point you to the treatment most likely to get you the result you want.
What it helps with
Kybella® is an injectable form of deoxycholic acid, FDA-approved for fat under the chin. We can also use it on other small areas of pinchable fat on the body. Tap one to see what it helps with.
Breaks down fat cells under the chin so the area looks slimmer. Once destroyed, treated fat cells can’t store fat again.
Reducing fullness under the chin can help reveal a sharper line where your jaw meets your neck.
A slimmer area under the chin can improve your side profile, which is often what people notice first in photos.
Some people carry fat under the chin regardless of weight or fitness. Kybella can help when lifestyle changes haven’t.
Kybella can also treat small, pinchable pockets of fat elsewhere on the body, like bra rolls, the “banana roll” under the buttock, and other stubborn spots. Using it outside the chin is off-label, so we’ll check whether the area is a good fit at your consultation.
Not sure if it’s right for you? That’s exactly what the consult is for.
A sharper profile
Kybella is a series of small injections, with no cutting, general anesthesia, or recovery time away from home.
Once fat cells are destroyed, they can’t store fat again, so further treatment usually isn’t expected once you reach your goal.
Kybella is FDA-approved to improve moderate to severe fat below the chin in adults, and it’s placed by a medical provider.
Sessions are spaced at least a month apart, so you can see your progress and decide together when you’ve reached your goal.
What to expect, step by step.
Tap through the timeline. Kybella works over a series, so results build with each session.
Your visit takes about 15 to 30 minutes. Expect a burning or stinging feeling during treatment that usually eases within minutes.

Before & after care
A few simple steps help you get the best possible result.
For a few days before, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and similar supplements when it’s safe for you, to reduce bruising. Check with your doctor.
Skipping alcohol for a day or two before can help minimize bruising and swelling.
Arriving makeup-free with a clean chin and neck makes things quicker.
Swelling can be noticeable for several days, so book well ahead of weddings, photos or events where you want to look your best.
General guidance only. We'll give you personal instructions at your visit.
