What is KYBELLA™?

  • Is a nonsurgical, 15- to 20-minute in-office treatment session
  • Is customized to help you achieve your treatment goals
  • Destroys fat cells when injected into the fat beneath your chin. Once the aesthetic goal is achieved, re-treatment is not expected

The most common side effects of KYBELLA™ include swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area.

The active ingredient in KYBELLA™ is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

The Kybella

Treatment

When injected into the fat beneath your chin, KYBELLA™ causes the destruction of fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot store or accumulate fat.

KYBELLA™ is typically given in a 15- to 20-minute in-office treatment session. Dr. Bapna will give you a series of injections into the fat under your chin at each treatment session.

You and Dr. Bapna will customize your KYBELLA™ treatment based on the amount of submental fullness you have and your treatment goals. Together, you will decide the treatment plan that is right for you.

Many patients treated with KYBELLA™ experience visible contouring of their chin profile in 2 to 4 treatments (spaced two months apart). Some people require up to 6 treatments in order to achieve results. Once your chin profile has improved, you may not need to be treated with KYBELLA™ again.

Prior to administrating KYBELLA™, Dr. Bapna may apply ice/cold packs or topical and/or injectable local anesthesia to the treatment area to make you more comfortable. Dr. Bapna may also suggest you take an over-the-counter pain reliever before your appointment. After treatment, apply ice or a cold pack to the treatment area for 10 to 15 minutes, as needed.

What to Expect After Your Kybella Treatment

As with other injectable treatments, you may experience side effects with KYBELLA™. The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of hardness in the treatment area. For most patients, downtime was minimal and occurred most commonly after the first treatment session. When scheduling treatments, keep your social plans and work commitments in mind.

KYBELLA™ can also be used in other areas to dissolve fat. Common areas include the abdomen, “banana roll” (between the buttocks and thighs), around the knees, and the bra fat.

Dr. Bapna and his staff were outstanding! I would absolutely recommend him to friends and family. I had a pretty severe deviated septum and due to its severity and location, my ENT referred me to Dr. Bapna. His combined ENT and plastics training put me at ease. I opted to just address the structural issues and not pursue cosmetic changes. I was on the fence with this decision but I did not want a drastic change in my appearance. He absolutely did not pressure me into further changes and I was pleasantly surprised with the subtle improved appearance of my nose thanks to Dr. Bapna’s skills! Thanks Bapna Facial Plastics!

Had a pretty great overall experience. The staff were incredibly kind and supportive, and overall very helpful. I felt completely comfortable, not judged, and validated with all my concerns. My surgeon was also really friendly and also such a great expert. He also answered all my questions, even those that I asked repeatedly, and was incredibly kind in his approach. Would for sure recommend this practice.

Dr. Bapna and his team went above and beyond for me when I had my procedure done in April, and I am thrilled with my results. From my first appointment I felt cared for and knew that he was the right surgeon for me! His patient care coordinators checked in on me over the phone as well as when I came in for appointments. I highty recommend Bapna Facial Plastics!!

Let’s start by saying I’m no fan of doctors offices or hospitals. The smell, the lack of color, the overall vibes - not for me. It took a lot of will power on my end to make the decision to get my severely deviated septum straightened. I researched for years. Not days, not months, but years .. and I kept coming across Dr. Bapna and his team. I finally found out a distant relative of mine had a procedure done by him and after seeing her before and after and journey through recovery, I decided to make an appointment .. and the rest was history.This isn’t a typical doctors office. It’s a place where you are graciously welcomed and treated like family. I’m not kidding. These folks literally text and call to check in. The doc behind the knife is an artist unlike any other. The bedside manners, the attention to detail, the making patients comfortable through the entire process, the education - every single note was hit during this performance by Dr. Bapna, Sarah, Annie and the rest of the team.I wholeheartedly recommend Bapna Facial Plastics to anyone near and far. This is the pinnacle of healthcare. 100 stars out of 5.

My 15 year old son expressed concern that he was self conscious about how much his ears stuck out. After talking it over with him and letting him know there were options to have them cosmetically fixed we decided to move forward. I knew the only person I trusted was Dr. Bapna! My son felt so confident after the consult we scheduled surgery that day. It was the best decision we made. Ryan is so much more confident after surgery! Thank you to Dr Bapna and his staff for the amazing experience.
