Reduce stubborn fullness beneath your chin with KYBELLA®, the only FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys unwanted fat cells in the treatment area. At Pink Opal Aesthetics, we personalize every treatment to help you achieve natural-looking definition.
Define Your Jawline Without Surgery
A double chin, also called submental fullness, develops when fat collects beneath the chin. While weight gain can contribute to a double chin, genetics, aging, and your natural anatomy also play a significant role. A double chin is essentially a small pocket beneath the chin that can remain full even when the rest of your body is lean, making your jawline appear less defined.
KYBELLA is the only FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys fat cells beneath the chin using a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body produces to break down dietary fat. At Pink Opal, we carefully evaluate your facial anatomy, goals, and skin quality to create a personalized treatment plan that delivers balanced, natural-looking facial definition.

How KYBELLA Works
KYBELLA contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body naturally produces to break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected beneath the chin, it disrupts the membranes surrounding fat cells, causing them to break apart. Your body’s lymphatic system then gradually clears away these destroyed fat cells over the following weeks. Because the treated fat cells cannot store fat again, the results are considered permanent.
FAQs
What Happens During a KYBELLA Treatment?
Your appointment at Pink Opal Aesthetics begins with a consultation to confirm you’re a good candidate and determine the exact treatment area. Your provider then marks the injection sites beneath your chin before administering a series of small injections. The treatment itself typically takes 15 to 20 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
What Side Effects Should I Expect?
Swelling is the most common side effect and is actually an expected part of the treatment. You may also notice mild tenderness, bruising, redness, numbness, or firmness beneath the chin. These side effects are temporary and gradually improve as your body heals.
How Much Downtime Is Involved?
Most patients return to work and their normal routine within a day or two. However, swelling can be noticeable during the first several days, so some people prefer scheduling treatment before a long weekend or when they have a lighter social calendar.
When Will I See the Results?
You won’t see changes overnight. Your body needs time to remove the destroyed fat cells via the lymphatic system, so your improvements typically become noticeable within four to six weeks after treatment and continue to develop over the following months.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The answer depends on how much submental fat you have and the definition you’re hoping to achieve. Many patients benefit from two to four treatment sessions spaced several weeks apart, although some may require additional treatments for optimal contouring.
