Overview
Known as the “double chin eliminator”, Kybella reduces moderate to severe fat deposits under the chin and on the upper neck. This injectable eats away at fat cells using a naturally occurring molecule. At Prima Center for Plastic Surgery in Duluth, our qualified surgeons will carefully inject this treatment so that only targeted cells are affected. For patients who have undesired, excess fat underneath their chin and upper neck, Kybella may be a viable options for you to help improve your appearance. Schedule a consultation with our office to learn more about Kybella and how we can help you achieve the look you desire. We would be happy to provide cost details during your appointment.
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.

Dr. Kumbla is the best. She has a direct and honest communication style and is an incredibly talented surgeon. I had an unexpected post-surgery complication that she literally held my hand through - staying in touch with me night and day, 7 days a week. I cannot recommend her enough.

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.
