Injectables
Kybella® in DeWitt, MI
The only FDA-approved injectable to permanently destroy submental fat.
Kybella contains deoxycholic acid — a molecule that occurs naturally in the body and is responsible for breaking down dietary fat. When precisely injected beneath the chin, Kybella permanently destroys fat cells in the submental (under-chin) area. Once destroyed, those cells cannot regenerate or store fat again. The result is a permanently reduced double chin and a more defined jawline — without surgery, general anesthesia, or prolonged recovery. Most guests require 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. At NECTAR in DeWitt, our board-certified providers assess your anatomy to determine the ideal treatment plan. Serving Lansing, East Lansing, Okemos, and all of Mid-Michigan.
Permanent Results
Kybella permanently destroys targeted fat cells — they cannot regenerate or store fat again. Once your treatment series is complete, your results are lasting. This is the only FDA-approved injectable that can make this claim.
Non-Surgical
No incisions, no general anesthesia, no surgical recovery. Kybella is administered through a series of small injections in a clinical setting. Each session takes approximately 15–20 minutes.
FDA-Approved
Kybella is the only FDA-approved injectable specifically indicated for the improvement of submental fullness (double chin) in adults. It has been evaluated in rigorous clinical trials.
The Process
What to Expect
Consultation
Your Kybella journey begins with a thorough consultation. Your provider will assess the amount of submental fat, evaluate skin laxity in the neck and chin area, and determine how many sessions are likely needed to achieve your goal.
Treatment Session
Each session involves a series of small injections administered in a grid pattern beneath the chin. The area is marked and may be numbed beforehand. Sessions typically take 15–20 minutes. Most guests require 2–4 sessions total.
Post-Treatment
Swelling, bruising, and temporary numbness under the chin are expected after each session — and are a sign the treatment is working. Swelling typically resolves within 1–2 weeks. Most guests plan their sessions with this recovery window in mind.
Final Results
Full results are typically visible 4–6 weeks after your final session, once swelling has completely resolved. Because the fat cells are permanently destroyed, there is no need for ongoing maintenance treatment.
All Kybella treatments require a consultation. Results vary by individual. Kybella is not appropriate for all patients — candidacy will be evaluated at your appointment. Administered by board-certified medical providers only.
Common Questions
Kybella FAQs
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable containing deoxycholic acid — a naturally occurring molecule that breaks down dietary fat. When injected beneath the chin, it permanently destroys submental fat cells. Once destroyed, those cells cannot regenerate or store fat again.
How many Kybella sessions are needed?
Most guests require 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. The number depends on the amount of submental fat and your desired outcome. Some achieve their goal in 1–2 sessions; others with more fat may need 3–4. Your provider will recommend a plan at consultation.
Is there downtime after Kybella?
Yes — swelling, bruising, and mild numbness under the chin are common after each session and typically resolve within 1–2 weeks. The swelling is a sign the treatment is working. Plan treatments so recovery has completed before significant social events.
Are Kybella results permanent?
Yes. Once Kybella permanently destroys fat cells, they cannot regenerate or store fat. Results are lasting. However, significant weight gain after treatment could cause remaining fat cells in the area to expand, so maintaining a stable weight is recommended.
Am I a good candidate for Kybella?
Kybella is best for adults with moderate to severe submental fat who prefer a non-surgical solution. It is not ideal for guests with significant skin laxity in the neck — a consultation will determine whether Kybella or another approach is best for your anatomy.
