Kybella®
KYBELLA® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to diminish the appearance of submental fullness, commonly referred to as the “double chin.” KYBELLA® contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule that helps break down and absorb dietary fats naturally in the body. KYBELLA® destroys fat cells under the chin when injected, reducing the fullness and contouring the area.

Dr. Julia Milman in Northbrook, IL, offers this treatment to help individuals achieve a more contoured chin profile.
