What Is KYBELLA?
A slight excess of fat in the upper neck can create an undesirable "double chin," a concern for both men and women. This extra fat, located in the submental area beneath the chin, can result from aging, genetics, or weight changes, leading to a less defined chin and jawline. At Aesthetic Med Studio in Springfield, MO, we're excited to offer KYBELLA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved, nonsurgical solution for reducing upper neck fat. KYBELLA contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, which naturally breaks down and absorbs fat. Post-injection, you'll notice a significant reduction in fat volume under your chin, giving you a more defined profile and jawline that will last for years.
How Do KYBELLA Injections Work?
KYBELLA injections are administered in our private treatment room usually immediately following your consultation. Our master injector will wash the treatment area before mapping the treatment sites and giving the injections. The procedure lasts about 15 – 20 minutes and includes a few small injections targeting the upper neck area. Some patients may require one treatment to achieve their desired goal while other patients may require several treatments spaced three weeks between each appointment.
What Are the Benefits of KYBELLA?
Many patients have difficulty enjoying their appearance because of their chin. KYBELLA procedures at our Springfield, MO office may help give you a jawline you can feel good about, plus other benefits, such as:
- Fast-acting results that provide you with the chin contour you've always desired
- Fast visits that correlate with your packed schedule
- Noninvasive alternative to surgical procedures
- Hardly any recovery time following injections
Aesthetic Med Studio Reviews
I just want to start off by saying how incredibly helpful the staff at Aesthetic Med Studio is. They’re not only very informative but they seem to truly want what is best for you. So many places would just take whatever money you throw at them and do whatever you ask for... not that they won’t do what you ask for, because they will... but they actually help you to decide what will work best for what you are trying to accomplish while keeping your budget in mind. Morgan spent days talking to me and Karlene was a pleasure to work with as well. I can’t wait to see my kybella results! Thank you AMS! I am looking forward to coming back and seeing you all again soon!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any pain or discomfort during the KYBELLA treatment?
While everyone's experience with discomfort differs, most people feel a mild to moderate burning sensation as the KYBELLA injection works on the fat cells. This sensation typically lasts only a few minutes. We may use a topical numbing agent to help manage it. During the first few days after treatment, you may experience some tenderness, swelling, or mild bruising, which gradually subsides. Most patients find that any initial discomfort is manageable and worth the results.
Will KYBELLA affect the skin around my treatment area?
KYBELLA targets only the fat cells, so it doesn't directly impact the skin's structure or elasticity. However, because it reduces fat volume, some patients notice that their skin appears slightly tighter after the treatment. If you have concerns about skin laxity, especially after fat reduction, our aesthetic care team can discuss options to ensure that your final look is smooth and well-contoured. Some people even combine KYBELLA with skin-tightening treatments for enhanced results.
What's the best way to manage swelling after KYBELLA?
Swelling is a common part of the healing process with KYBELLA, and it usually peaks within a day or two after treatment. Applying ice packs for short intervals during the first 24 hours can help reduce swelling and relieve discomfort. Keeping your head elevated when resting, along with avoiding salty foods, may also help. If you're particularly prone to swelling, your provider might recommend arnica or other gentle remedies to help speed up recovery.
