Why Choose Dr. Avaliani for Kybella?
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the reduction of stubborn fat under the chin. Using deoxycholic acid — a naturally occurring substance in your body that breaks down dietary fat — Kybella permanently destroys fat cells in the submental area for a more defined jawline and chin profile.

Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed for submental fat reduction — using deoxycholic acid to permanently destroy chin fat cells

A Reputation Built on Results
5.0-star rating with 565+ verified patient reviews — 79% of Kybella patients report satisfaction with their chin and neck contour
Personalized Approach
Permanent fat destruction — once Kybella destroys fat cells, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, so further treatment may not be needed
What Is Kybella?
Kybella (deoxycholic acid) is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment for moderate to severe submental fullness — commonly known as a double chin. Deoxycholic acid is a naturally occurring molecule in your body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected beneath the chin, Kybella disrupts fat cell membranes through a process called cytolysis, permanently destroying those cells.
At Dr. Avaliani’s practice, every Kybella session is performed with meticulous precision using AccuVein technology to visualize blood vessels and avoid them during injection. The treatment area is carefully marked with a grid stencil, and Kybella is injected at multiple precise points beneath the chin. The deoxycholic acid immediately begins disrupting fat cell membranes, and destroyed cells are naturally processed and eliminated by your body over the following weeks.
How Kybella Works
The Kybella treatment follows a quick, precise protocol:
Dr. Avaliani evaluates your submental fullness and uses a grid stencil to mark precise injection points beneath the chin
Kybella (deoxycholic acid) is injected at multiple points using AccuVein-guided precision to target fat while avoiding blood vessels
Deoxycholic acid disrupts fat cell membranes through cytolysis, causing the cells to burst and release their contents
Your body naturally processes and eliminates the destroyed fat cells over the following weeks
Over 2–4 sessions (spaced at least 4 weeks apart), the chin profile progressively improves for a more defined jawline
Who Benefits from Kybella?
Moderate Double Chin
Moderate submental fullness that creates a noticeable double chin and obscures the jawline. Kybella injections progressively reduce this fat deposit over 2–4 sessions, revealing a more sculpted chin-to-neck profile.
Severe Submental Fullness
Significant under-chin fat that substantially affects facial profile. Patients with severe fullness may require 4–6 Kybella sessions for optimal results, with each treatment progressively reducing the fat layer.
Genetic Chin Fullness
Hereditary submental fat that persists regardless of diet, exercise, or weight loss. If double chin runs in your family, Kybella permanently destroys these genetically stubborn fat cells so they can never store fat again.
Aging-Related Chin Fat
Submental fat that accumulates with age. Kybella destroys the fat cells while the body’s natural healing response can improve tissue firmness. Younger patients typically see excellent skin retraction; complementary skin tightening is available if needed.
Surgery-Averse Patients
Patients who want double chin reduction without general anesthesia, incisions, or surgical recovery. Kybella is a quick 15–20 minute in-office injection with virtually no downtime — an effective alternative to liposuction.
Pre-Event Contouring
Patients preparing for weddings, reunions, or professional events who want a more defined jawline. Plan ahead — allow 2–4 sessions spaced at least 4 weeks apart, with final results visible several weeks after your last treatment.

Does It Hurt?
Your Comfort Options (We Tailor This to You)
Kybella injections involve brief stinging at each injection point, which subsides quickly. Dr. Avaliani applies topical numbing cream and may use ice packs before treatment to maximize comfort. The entire injection process takes just 15–20 minutes, and most patients tolerate the treatment very well.
Dr. Avaliani prioritizes your comfort at every step. AccuVein technology helps avoid blood vessels, reducing bruising risk. After treatment, swelling is most noticeable after the first session and decreases with subsequent treatments. Most patients experience virtually no downtime and resume normal activities immediately.
