Administering Kybella
The plastic surgeons of Prima Center tailors every patient’s Kybella treatment plan to suit their needs. After assessing the patient’s chin, neck, and profile, the surgeon will perform a series of injections in the comfort of the on-site minor procedures room. The patient will be able to leave immediately after the procedure and resume their normal activities.
What To Expect
Patients should expect to have temporary swelling, bruising, mild pain, redness, and numbness for up to 1 week after their treatment. Results will start to appear from 1 week to 1 month after their treatment. Patients may receive up to 6 treatments at least 1 month apart until their best results appear.
Prima Center Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Philip Nakano has a genuine personality! Excellent bedside manners and cares a great deal about his patients. His facial procedures are beautiful! I trust him.
The office staff, nurses, and Dr.Song do an amazing job! I’m four weeks post-op from a breast reduction and lift, and I’m healing nicely! Very thrilled with the results and the care I have received. If you’re debating on whether you should do a breast reduction, my advice is don’t wait any longer. The Prima center is amazing. Recovery isn’t easy, but manageable & your life will be changed for the better! Take the risk! It’s so worth it!! (:
I had an explant done March 2026 due to complications with implants and I absolutely love my natural breast! Dr. Song was hands on about my needs and wants and I look better now than I did with implants! I highly recommend Dr.Song for this procedure and any other needs pertaining to breasts!!
Gary is the absolute BEST! I have been his patient for years now and I love love love the results I get from him every time. He gives the most natural look ever (which is what I want). He never oversells me on anything; he just shoots me straight. On top of that, he always checks in on me after anything he does. And I can text him any time with a question - he always gets right back to me. He started out being my go to for all things aesthetic, but has since become a friend. I rarely fill out these reviews but Gary is really exceptional!
Gary is amazing. He's very professional and knowledgeable and I feel fully confident in his abilities to help me achieve my goals while giving me options to help me stay within my budget.He's very patient and allows me to ask all my questions and he gives me the needed information to help me feel comfortable.I highly recommend his services.

Frequently Asked Questions
Permanent Results?
Once the Kybella treatments have destroyed the fat cells in the submental area, they are permanently gone. However, patients should maintain a healthy, stable weight after the procedure to prevent weight gain in other areas.
Safety Concerns?
Kybella has been approved by the FDA, scientists have performed over 20 clinical studies, and over 1,600 patients have been treated with Kybella. Patients should disclose their full medical history to their plastic surgeon during their consultation, including any current medications, herbs, and supplements. Kybella is not approved for use in patients under 18 years old and should not be used outside the neck and chin area.
Kybella Vs. Liposuction?
Kybella neck liposuction and traditional neck liposuction are both effective and similarly priced, but Kybella does not involve surgery, general anesthesia, or a lengthy recovery. Your plastic surgeon will discuss both methods during the initial consultation and help the patient determine their best treatment plan.
