Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently destroys fat cells under the chin to improve your profile. Its active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. At DRC360, we use Kybella to non-surgically sculpt the jawline and reduce moderate to severe submental fullness, commonly known as a “double chin.”
The Confidence of a Defined Jawline
Submental fullness can be a source of frustration, often persisting despite a healthy diet and exercise. It can make you feel older or heavier than you are. We understand that this is more than a physical concern—it’s about feeling confident in your own profile. Our goal is to help you achieve a look that feels natural, defined, and representative of your inner vitality.

Is Kybella the Right Solution for You?
Kybella is a highly targeted treatment specifically designed for one of the most common and stubborn aesthetic concerns.

- Submental Fullness (Double Chin)

You Are an Ideal Candidate If:
You are an ideal candidate if you are bothered by the appearance of a “double chin” and are looking for a non-surgical solution with permanent results. The best candidates have good skin elasticity, which allows the skin to retract naturally once the underlying fat is dissolved. If you have significant skin laxity or sagging, Dr. C may recommend an alternative treatment. Kybella is perfect for the patient who wants a targeted, medical solution to achieve a more defined profile without the downtime of surgery.
Our integrative approach is designed to help you achieve transformative results that are far more than skin-deep.
Your Kybella Experience at DRC360
Our process is designed to ensure precision, artistry, and your complete comfort, reflecting Dr. C’s expertise as a Master Injector.
The Consultation: Listening First
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Dr. C. He will carefully assess your facial anatomy, skin quality, and the specific distribution of submental fat. More importantly, he will listen to your goals to understand your vision of “wholeness” and confirm that Kybella is the most effective path to achieving the natural, defined profile you desire.
The Procedure: Precision and Care
As a certified Master Injector, Dr. C’s technique is meticulous. He will precisely mark a grid of injection points on your submental area to target the fat cells. The area is numbed for comfort, and the series of small injections is typically completed in just 15 to 20 minutes. His expert approach is designed to maximize effectiveness while ensuring your safety and comfort.
The Follow-Up: Ensuring Wholeness
After your treatment, significant swelling is expected and is a sign the medicine is working. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to manage this. We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your results, which appear gradually over the following weeks. We are your partners throughout this transformation, ensuring your final result is one you love.
Our Guiding Philosophy for Kybella
At DRC360, our philosophy for Kybella is rooted in medical precision and aesthetic artistry. We view this treatment not just as a fat-dissolving injection, but as a powerful tool for facial sculpting. Dr. Cavazos’s approach, backed by his status as a Master Injector and 37 years of medical experience, involves a deep understanding of facial anatomy. He doesn’t just inject; he analyzes the entire jawline and neck structure to ensure the reduction in fat creates a harmonious and natural contour.
This method goes beyond the product itself. It represents our commitment to treating the whole person. We understand the impact a strong profile can have on confidence. Our goal is to use this advanced allopathic therapy to help you achieve your ideal self, blending science and aesthetics to reveal a profile that is both defined and authentically you.
What to Expect: Your Results Timeline
- Immediately After Treatment: The most common side effect is significant swelling, which can last for several days to a week. This is normal and indicates the deoxycholic acid is actively destroying fat cells. Tenderness, bruising, and numbness are also common.
- The First Four Weeks: Your body’s natural inflammatory response will clear the destroyed fat cells. The swelling will completely subside, but visible results are not yet apparent.
- Four to Six Weeks Post-Treatment: You will begin to notice a visible reduction in fullness under your chin as your body clears the fat and the profile begins to tighten.
- After Your Final Session (2-6 Sessions): Optimal results are seen after your full treatment course, with sessions spaced at least one month apart. The fat cells are permanently destroyed, and the results are long-lasting.
Frequently Asked Questions about Kybella
How Much Does Kybella Cost?
The cost of Kybella is highly personalized. It depends on the number of vials needed per session and the total number of sessions required to achieve your specific goals. On average, a single session can range from $1,200 to $1,800, and most patients require 2-4 sessions. We will provide a transparent, all-inclusive price for your unique treatment plan during your personal consultation with Dr. C.
Is Kybella Painful?
Patients typically report a mild to moderate burning or stinging sensation during the injections, which lasts for a few minutes. We prioritize your comfort and apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure to minimize any discomfort. Post-treatment soreness is common and can be managed with ice packs.
How Does Kybella Compare to CoolSculpting for Chin?
Both are excellent non-surgical fat reduction tools, but they work differently. Kybella uses an injection to destroy fat cells and is exceptional for sculpting and targeting smaller, specific pockets of fat. CoolSculpting uses cryolipolysis to freeze fat cells and is often better for reducing larger, “bulkier” areas of pinchable fat under the chin. Dr. C will help you determine which treatment is ideal for your anatomy.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions varies for every patient. Most individuals achieve their desired results in 2 to 4 treatment sessions. However, some patients with more significant fullness may require up to 6 sessions to achieve an optimal outcome. Your sessions will be scheduled at least one month apart.
At DRC360, we have created a nurturing, welcoming environment where your aesthetic goals are met with the highest level of medical expertise. You will never feel rushed, and you will always be treated with genuine care. If you are ready to redefine your profile and eliminate submental fat for good, we invite you to schedule your personal consultation.
