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. Song is truly all of the wonderful things the reviews portray him to be ... and so much more. He is thorough, kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. He genuinely listens to your concerns, takes the time to answer your questions, and gives you realistic expectations so you feel informed and comfortable every step of the way.What stood out to me most is how seen, heard, and valued he makes you feel as a patient. He is available when you need him, and there is a level of care and reassurance that is hard to put into words.His staff has been just as wonderful. I cannot remember the name of his blonde-haired nurse, and I hate that I forgot it, because she deserves to be recognized! She has been so sweet, caring, and absolutely precious throughout this entire experience. Her kindness has meant so much to me.I had six consultations before coming to Prima, and the moment I met Dr. Song and his team, I knew immediately that this was where I wanted to be. There was simply a different feeling ...one of trust, comfort, and confidence.I would highly recommend Dr. Song and his staff without hesitation. If you are considering him, do not hesitate. He is truly amazing, and I am so grateful I chose dr song& Prima. ♥️

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.
