A Non-Surgical Solution for Stubborn Fat
​​
At Eterna Vein and Medical Aesthetics, we offer Kybella®, the only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to permanently dissolve submental (under the chin) fat and contour your jawline. If you’ve struggled with a double chin that won’t go away despite diet and exercise, Kybella may be the perfect solution to achieve a more defined, sculpted look—without surgery!
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an injectable treatment that contains deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down and absorbs fat cells. Once Kybella is injected into the targeted area, it permanently destroys fat cells, preventing them from storing fat in the future.

Kybella – FAQs
How many Kybella treatments will I need?
Most patients need 2-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, depending on the amount of fat in the area. Some may see results with just one session, while others may need up to six for optimal contouring.
Is Kybella permanent?
Yes! Once fat cells are destroyed, they do not return. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will help you retain your results long-term.
Does Kybella hurt?
You may experience a mild burning or stinging sensation during injection, but we apply numbing agents to enhance comfort. Post-treatment swelling and tenderness are common but temporary.
How long does it take to see results?
Results develop gradually over 4-6 weeks as your body metabolizes the destroyed fat cells. Most patients see full results after their final session.
Are there any side effects?
The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, redness, and numbness in the treated area. Swelling can last a few days to a week, depending on individual healing responses.
Can Kybella be used on areas other than the chin?
Kybella is FDA-approved for the chin, but some providers use it off-label for small fat pockets in areas like bra fat, inner thighs, or knees.
Is there downtime after Kybella?
Kybella has minimal downtime, but swelling is common for a few days post-treatment. Most patients return to normal activities right away.
