Kybella: Kybella is a FDA-approved injectable treatment to help reduce the appearance of submental fullness, or sometimes referred to as a "double chin." During consultation, your provider will determine the # of treatments needed, discuss your medical history, etc. There will be some swelling after the treatment that can persist for days to a week. Continue to follow up with the surgeon or injector.
