Kybella

Conveniently located to serve Seattle and Bellevue

We offer Kybella treatments in Bellevue for patients seeking a non-surgical solution to reduce fat beneath the chin. Our team serves Bellevue, Seattle, and surrounding areas, providing personalized injectable treatments by board-certified facial plastic surgeons.

What Is Kybella?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable for treating submental fullness, commonly known as a double chin. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, occurs naturally in the body and helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into the fat under the chin, Kybella removes fat cells, which the body metabolizes over time.

As a leading injectable fat dissolver in Bellevue, Kybella is ideal for patients who want long-term results without surgery or significant downtime.

Benefits of Kybella

Kybella provides a variety of advantages:

  • Non-surgical and minimally invasive
  • No anesthesia or incisions
  • Quick, in-office sessions
  • Minimal downtime with little interruption to daily life
  • Fat cells are permanently eliminated
  • Custom treatment plans for natural, symmetrical results

Results appear gradually, often improving over several weeks as the body processes the treated fat naturally.

What to Expect During Your Treatment

During your consultation, we will evaluate the area beneath your chin and recommend a treatment plan based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Treatments are performed by Dr. Rikesh Parikh or Dr. Albert Yang, both highly experienced in facial contouring and injectable procedures.

Each session takes approximately 15-30 minutes. Most patients benefit from two to four sessions spaced one month apart. In some cases, up to six treatments may be recommended. Swelling, numbness, and temporary firmness are common but typically resolve within a few days.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella?

Kybella may be appropriate for adults who:

  • Are bothered by fullness beneath the chin
  • Prefer a non-surgical solution
  • Are in good general health
  • Have realistic expectations
  • Do not have an infection or significant skin laxity in the treatment area

We may recommend alternatives such as a neck lift for those with skin laxity or other concerns.

Kybella vs. Chin Liposuction

Kybella and liposuction are effective treatments for submental fat but differ in approach. Kybella is non-invasive and does not require anesthesia, while liposuction is a surgical procedure with a longer recovery time but faster visible results.

If you are weighing your options, we also offer chin and jawline liposuction and will guide you through the best solution for your goals.
