KYBELLA® in El Paso, TX
Match Your Proportions.
Skip the Diet.
Skip the Surgery.
Diet and exercise changed the rest of you. This one area didn’t move. That’s not a discipline problem, it’s usually genetics, and it’s not something a scale is going to fix. KYBELLA® targets submental fat specifically, without surgery and without a weight-loss program you don’t need.
Submental fat (chin and upper neck) only.
What Is KYBELLA®
KYBELLA® is an FDA-approved injectable containing a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a compound that breaks down fat cells, specifically approved to reduce submental fat beneath the chin. Once those fat cells are destroyed, they don’t regenerate. Treatment takes about 15 to 20 minutes per session, and most patients need more than one, spaced three to four weeks apart, though how many depends on how much fat is being treated. At SkinSational MedSpa, your provider builds your plan around your actual anatomy, not a fixed number of sessions sold upfront.
What Brings Patients In
A patient had already done the hard part. She’d lost weight steadily over a year, changed how she ate, started running. Every part of her body looked different, except the area under her chin, which looked exactly the same as it always had. She wasn’t interested in another diet. The problem wasn’t her weight anymore.
Her provider explained that submental fat often doesn’t respond to diet and exercise the way other fat does, which is exactly why KYBELLA® exists as a targeted option. A few sessions later, her jawline finally matched the rest of the progress she’d already made.
What a "Double Chin" Can Actually Be
A fuller-looking chin can come from submental fat, loose skin, neck muscle bands, chin position, or jaw structure, often more than one at once. KYBELLA® is FDA-approved to treat fat only, not skin or muscle. Reducing fat without addressing loose skin can even make looseness more noticeable, which is why your consultation matters more than the injection itself. If skin laxity is the bigger factor, your provider may recommend Morpheus8 instead.
How Treatment Works
01
Consultation and assessment
Your provider examines the area to confirm submental fat, not skin laxity or another cause, is what’s creating the fullness.
02
Numbing
A topical numbing ointment is applied if you’d like it, after the area is cleaned.
03
Treatment.
Several small injections are placed into the treatment area, taking about 15 to 20 minutes total.
04
Aftercare
No anesthesia is used, so you can leave and resume your day right away, though swelling, bruising, or numbness are common for several days afterward.
05
Series
Most patients need more than one session, spaced three to four weeks apart, with your provider estimating a total based on your anatomy.
Benefits of KYBELLA®
KYBELLA® is not a weight-loss treatment, it’s a targeted option for fat that doesn’t respond to diet and exercise the way the rest of your body does. Because the fat cells it destroys don’t regenerate, results are considered long-lasting, though maintaining a stable weight afterward matters, since remaining fat cells can still enlarge with weight gain. It won’t tighten skin or stop the area from aging, which is why an honest assessment matters more than the injection itself.
- Nonsurgical alternative to neck liposuction
- Long-lasting results, since treated fat cells don't return
- No anesthesia required, with a same-day return to normal activity
- A localized solution for a localized concern, not a body-wide program
- FDA-approved specifically for submental fat, backed by real clinical data
Who This Is For
Most patients booking this treatment are near a stable, healthy weight already, with one area that hasn’t responded to diet or exercise the way the rest of their body has. Some have had this fullness since adolescence or recognize it as a family trait, not something caused by weight gain. Others have researched surgical neck liposuction but want to address a moderate concern without the incision, anesthesia, and recovery that come with it.
This isn’t for everyone. KYBELLA® is FDA-approved only for the chin and neck, and significant skin laxity or larger fat pockets are often better suited to a surgical evaluation. Call your provider immediately if you notice facial weakness, trouble swallowing, or uneven expressions after treatment, rare but serious symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on your anatomy, how much fat is present, and your tolerance for a surgical recovery. KYBELLA® involves no incision and gradual results over a series of sessions, while liposuction removes fat more immediately through a surgical procedure with its own recovery. Your provider can help you weigh both honestly at consultation.
No. KYBELLA® treats a specific, localized pocket of submental fat and isn't designed or approved for general weight loss. It's meant for patients already near a stable, healthy weight who have one area that hasn't responded to diet and exercise.
No. KYBELLA® reduces fat, not skin laxity, and treating fat alone can occasionally make loose skin more noticeable rather than less. If skin laxity is part of what you're seeing, your provider will likely discuss other options alongside or instead of KYBELLA®.
Swelling, bruising, and numbness under the chin are common, not rare, and can last several days rather than resolving overnight. Your provider will walk you through what to expect and how to plan around it before your first session.
The fat cells KYBELLA® destroys don't regenerate, so results are considered long-lasting. Maintaining a stable weight afterward still matters, since remaining fat cells in the area can enlarge again with weight gain.
No. KYBELLA® is FDA-approved specifically for submental fat beneath the chin and upper neck. Other treatment areas would require a different approach, which your provider can discuss at consultation.
