What Is Kybella?
Kybella non-surgically reduces the appearance of a double chin to help restore facial symmetry, balance facial proportions, and increase your self-esteem. Kybella is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive product that treats moderate to severe submental fat in the chin, jawline, and neck. Comprised of deoxycholic acid – a substance found naturally in your digestive system – Kybella® is unique in that it requires no incisions. When Dr. Lofman injects Kybella® into the submental fat beneath your chin, it goes to work breaking down the fat cells. Then, your body will process and eliminate them. This quick, in-office treatment not only removes unwanted fat, but also prevents this area from accumulating fat cells in the future.
Patients generally achieve their desired results in three to five appointments spaced four to six weeks apart. Typically, touch-ups or retreatment are not necessary once you’ve completed this initial round of treatments.
Kybella Benefits
With Kybella, you can safely and effectively eliminate submental fat and bid farewell to your double chin for good. Kybella contouring helps restore facial balance by adding definition to your jawline. With no incisions, stitches, or lengthy recovery period, you can enhance your profile and feel more attractive.
With minimal downtime, Kybella offers many benefits, including:
- Non-surgical and minimally invasive with little discomfort
- More symmetrical facial proportions
- Reduced double chin appearance
- Better jawline and neck definition from every angle
- Natural-looking, long-lasting results
As Kybella doesn’t eliminate all submental fat cells, the remaining fat cells may continue to grow larger with significant weight gain. It’s crucial to maintain your healthy weight through diet and exercise to continue enjoying the outcomes of Kybella.

What Can I Expect During a Kybella Treatment?
Dr. Lofman has put patient commitment and education at the forefront of his mission. He takes time to explain the procedure and ensure his patients understand all steps involved in their Kybella treatment.
Each Michigan Kybella patient will have a unique experience, but here are general steps to expect.
Pre-Treatment
After you arrive at our offices, our friendly team will welcome you and check you in. Dr. Lofman will make sure you are comfortable, answer any last-minute questions, and review crucial details. Then, we will apply a topical anesthetic to the target area that may take 10 to 15 minutes to activate.
During Treatment
Typically, Kybella treatments are quick and relatively painless, with most patients reporting minimal discomfort. During your appointment, your injector will apply a grid to the treatment area for precise placement of the needles.
You may feel a slight burning or stinging sensation during injection. Kybella treatments target the submental fat in the area while leaving the surrounding tissue intact. Off-label, Kybella may also treat other small, localized fat pockets, such as around your knees or armpits. Depending on the treatment area, Kybella procedures last approximately 30 to 45 minutes.
Post-Treatment
After each treatment, you can expect swelling and bruising for one to two weeks. While Kybella swelling may temporarily make your double chin appear more prominent, you can rest assured that means the product is working.
For maximum results, most patients will require two to three treatments. Kybella is safe and fast, and you can resume most typical daily activities afterward; however, please avoid strenuous activities, including exercising, for at least 24 hours.
When Will I See My Michigan Kybella Results?
Kybella results are gradual but long-lasting, so you will see a cumulative improvement following each treatment. Most patients will experience optimal, visible outcomes within three to five sessions scheduled four to six weeks apart. After you achieve your ideal facial profile, touch-up is typically not necessary.
As Kybella doesn’t eliminate all submental fat cells, remaining fat cells may still grow larger with significant weight gain. You can ensure long-lasting results by maintaining your healthy, stable weight.
