Dr. Babak Farzaneh explains Kybella, an FDA-approved injection of deoxycholic acid that breaks down fat under the chin. The treatment reduces excess submental fat to define the jawline and thin the neck.
Deoxycholic acid — a synthetic form of the stomach bile acid that breaks down fat.
The submental area (the double chin).
Just to make sure that it's completely clean. So this is just a little bit of water, and then we'll go ahead and clean it with some alcohol. What we're doing is we're going to do Kybella today. Kybella is deoxycholic acid. It's basically a synthetic form of what we have in our stomach already that breaks down fat. So it's FDA approved for this area here, which is the submental area, which is called the double chin. So it's, like, basically going to enhance my jawline, right? Yeah. So what it does is it gets rid of that, like, excess fat that some people have underneath their chin, and it defines the jaw, makes the neck look thinner.
