Kybella Chin Sculpting is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental fat, commonly known as a double chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat.

Deoxycholic acid is a bile acid that helps break down and absorb dietary fat in the gastrointestinal tract. When injected into the area under the chin, it disrupts the fat cells’ membranes, causing them to break down and be eliminated from the body. Over time, this results in a reduction of submental fat and a more contoured jawline.
