KYBELLA® in Barnegat, NJ

The Only FDA-Approved Injectable Treatment for Fat Beneath the Chin

A double chin is the one feature people learn to manage rather than address. You angle the camera higher, you find the scarf that helps, you delete the photo someone took from below. And unlike most things on that list, submental fullness often has nothing to do with your weight. It can run in families, it can persist through every pound you lose, and no amount of chin exercises will move it. KYBELLA® is a series of small injections of deoxycholic acid, a substance your body already makes to break down dietary fat. Placed beneath the chin, it destroys the fat cells it contacts, and destroyed cells cannot come back or store fat again.

Daily lifestyle factors, coastal humidity, sun exposure, and local environmental stressors can all influence skin elasticity and overall facial composition over time, making submental fullness feel even more prominent. Patients facing these concerns have historically had two options: live with it, or drive north for a surgical consultation about liposuction under the chin. Our KYBELLA® in Barnegat, NJ adds a third. It is a 30-minute appointment with no incisions, no anesthesia, and no sutures, delivered in a series so the change arrives gradually enough that colleagues notice your profile rather than your procedure.

What Is KYBELLA®?

KYBELLA® is an injectable prescription treatment, FDA-approved in adults for the improvement of moderate to severe fat below the chin. Its active ingredient is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps your body absorb fat. When injected into submental fat, it disrupts the membranes of fat cells so those cells break down and are cleared by your body over the following weeks. Because the cells are destroyed rather than shrunk, results are considered permanent in the treated area, and once you reach the profile you want, retreatment is generally unnecessary. Your provider marks a grid on the treatment area and places a set number of small injections across it, adjusting the pattern and volume to your neck’s anatomy. Most patients need two to four sessions spaced at least one month apart, and the FDA label allows up to six.

Concerns We Treat with KYBELLA®

Moderate to Severe Submental Fullness

A distinct pad of fat beneath the chin that softens the boundary between the jaw and the neck, which is the specific finding this treatment is approved to address.

Fullness That Persists at a Stable Weight

Submental fat that stayed put through diet, training, and weight loss, often because its distribution is inherited rather than driven by what you eat.

A Blunted Jawline and Profile

Loss of definition where the jaw should meet the neck, which reads clearly in side profile and on video calls even when the front-facing view looks fine.

Fullness Returning With Age

Gradual submental heaviness that develops in your 40s and beyond as tissue settles, in patients whose skin still has enough elasticity to retract as the fat is reduced.

Sessions, Timing, and Pricing

30 minutes | $325 per session

Each appointment runs about 30 minutes, most of which is marking and numbing rather than injecting. Sessions are spaced at least a month apart so your body can clear the treated fat and your provider can assess the result before deciding whether another round is warranted. Two to four sessions is typical, and your consultation will give you an honest estimate for your anatomy rather than a package sold in advance.

What Should You Expect
During Your Appointment?

1.

Consultation

We examine the area, pinch the tissue to confirm the fullness is fat rather than loose skin or an enlarged gland, review your health history, take baseline photographs, and estimate how many sessions you’ll likely need.

2.

Preparation

Plan for visible swelling and clear your calendar accordingly. Avoid alcohol, fish oil, and anti-inflammatories for a few days beforehand if your physician agrees, and eat before you come in.

3.

Treatment

Your provider numbs the area, applies a temporary grid, and places the injections within minutes. You will feel stinging and warmth during and shortly after, which is expected and settles quickly.

4.

Aftercare

Swelling begins within hours and lasts several days, sometimes up to one to two weeks after the first session. Bruising, tenderness, firmness, and numbness under the chin are common. Use a cold compress, sleep elevated, and expect the area to look worse before it looks better.

Is KYBELLA® Right for You?

KYBELLA® in Barnegat, NJ, may be worth discussing at your consultation if you:
  • Are bothered by fat beneath your chin rather than by loose skin or the position of your jaw
  • Can pinch the fullness, which is what tells us the tissue will respond to this treatment
  • Want a permanent reduction in the treated area rather than something you maintain indefinitely
  • Would rather avoid surgery, anesthesia, and a recovery that keeps you home
  • Can accommodate a week of visible swelling and a series spread across two to four months
KYBELLA® is not appropriate for everyone. It is avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with infection at the injection site, with a history of difficulty swallowing, and in patients on anticoagulants or with bleeding disorders. Prior surgery in the area requires review. It also will not help if your fullness comes from lax skin, an enlarged salivary gland, or thyroid enlargement, which is why the physical exam matters as much as the conversation. The known risks include nerve injury that can cause a temporarily uneven smile, difficulty swallowing, and injury at the injection site, all of which we go through with you before you consent.

We place the grid around the structures we need to avoid, not stamp it on. That is where safety in this treatment actually lives.

Honest About the Swelling

We will tell you what week one looks like before you commit, because patients who are surprised by it are the ones who regret the timing.

Photographs and Staged Decisions

Baseline images and a review between sessions mean each round is a decision based on your result, not a prepaid plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a KYBELLA® injection feel like?
The injections themselves are quick. What patients remember is the stinging warmth for 20 to 30 minutes afterward as the deoxycholic acid gets to work, which numbing medication and a cold compress make manageable.
Give it four to six weeks after each session, since the swelling has to resolve before the reduction is visible. Most patients see their clearest change after the second session.
Two to four for most people, depending on how much fat is present and how much reduction you want. We decide each round at your review rather than committing you upfront.
The treated fat cells are eliminated and do not return, so the improvement is lasting. Significant overall weight gain can still change your neck’s appearance, since untreated cells elsewhere can enlarge.
Both reduce submental fat, but one is an injection, and the other is applied cooling. The right choice depends on the size and shape of the fat pad and your tolerance for swelling, which we assess in person.
