Kybella® Cosmetic Injections

Procedure:
20–30 minutes
Recovery:
Minimal; most return to normal activities within a few days.

Kybella® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to destroy fat cells under the chin, improving the appearance of a double chin without surgery. Its active ingredient, synthetic deoxycholic acid, mimics a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down and absorbs fat.

Once these fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat — resulting in long-term contour improvement when paired with a healthy lifestyle.

Areas We Treat with Kybella®

  • Submental Fullness (Double Chin)
  • Soft Jawline Contour due to Fat Accumulation

Treatment

What You Can Expect

Personalized
Consultation

Your journey begins with a consultation at our River North clinic. Dr. Mick Singh or a trained provider will evaluate your submental area and create a treatment plan tailored to your profile and aesthetic goals.

Comfortable
Treatment

Kybella is injected beneath the chin in a quick, in-office procedure. If needed, a topical numbing agent is applied beforehand. Most sessions take 20–30 minutes, and you can return to your routine shortly after.

Progressive
Results

While some clients see improvement after just one session, most require 2–4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Results develop gradually as fat is eliminated and the jawline refines. Once your aesthetic goal is reached, no further treatment is expected.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Kybella® cost in Chicago?

Pricing varies based on the number of sessions needed. A personalized treatment plan and cost estimate will be provided during your consultation.

How do Kybella Injections work?

The active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, breaks down fat cells in the treated area. These cells are then naturally eliminated by your body and do not regenerate.

Can Kybella® be used to treat other areas?

Currently, KYBELLA is only FDA-approved for the treatment of submental fat (double chin). It is not indicated for use on other areas of the body.

How many treatments will I need?

Most patients need between 2–4 sessions, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. You should not receive more than six total treatments.

What is recovery like?

Most clients return to daily activities within a day or two. You may experience temporary swelling, bruising, or numbness at the injection site.
