Non-Surgical Chin Contouring in the Heart of L.A.

At Cara Plastic Surgery in Los Angeles, we offer Kybella—a breakthrough injectable that permanently reduces stubborn fat beneath the chin. Whether you're bothered by a double chin or looking to define your jawline without downtime, Kybella provides a non-invasive solution tailored to your facial structure and goals.

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable that destroys fat cells in the submental area (under the chin). Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, is a molecule naturally found in the body that breaks down dietary fat.

Once injected, it dissolves fat cells in the treated area, which are then naturally flushed out by the body—revealing a leaner, more sculpted lower face.

Why Los Angeles Patients Choose Kybella

  • No Surgery or Scarring: No incisions, stitches, or general anesthesia required.
  • Minimal Downtime: Most patients return to their routine within 24–48 hours.
  • Permanent Fat Reduction: Once destroyed, fat cells don’t regenerate.
  • Customized for You: The number of injections and sessions are based on your anatomy and desired results.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Most patients require 2 to 4 treatments, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, though some may need up to 6 for maximum fat reduction. Once your aesthetic goal is reached, no further sessions are necessary, as the fat cells are permanently destroyed.
