Refine your jawline and reduce unwanted submental fullness with Kybella in Beverly Hills. Supervised by double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Behrooz Torkian, Kybella treatments are tailored to create natural-looking facial balance and definition.
Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable that helps reduce excess fat beneath the chin without surgery. The treatment contains a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When strategically injected into the submental fat, Kybella destroys targeted fat cells, which are then gradually eliminated by the body. Once these cells are removed, they cannot store fat again, creating long-lasting improvements in jawline definition and neck contour.
Kybella offers a non-surgical way to improve neck and jawline contours with long-lasting results. Key benefits of Kybella include:
Recovery after Kybella in Beverly Hills is generally simple, with most patients returning to normal activities immediately or within a day. Swelling beneath the chin is the most common side effect and is expected as the body begins to break down and clear treated fat cells. Most visible swelling improves significantly within one to two weeks, while final contour improvements continue to develop over several weeks following treatment.
When considering Kybella in Beverly Hills, experience and facial expertise matter. Dr. Behrooz Torkian is a double-board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon who specializes exclusively in procedures and treatments for the face, nose, and neck. His advanced training includes fellowship education in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, as well as extensive experience treating both cosmetic and functional concerns. Dr. Torkian approaches Kybella with the same meticulous attention to facial harmony that guides his surgical work. By carefully evaluating your anatomy, jawline structure, neck contours, and aesthetic goals, he develops a customized treatment plan to create refined, natural-looking definition and balance.
The number of Kybella treatments you need depends on the amount of submental fat beneath your chin and your desired level of improvement. Most patients need two to four sessions spaced approximately one month apart. During your consultation, Dr. Behrooz Torkian will evaluate your anatomy and develop a customized treatment plan based on your goals.
Yes. Kybella destroys targeted fat cells beneath the chin, and once those cells are eliminated, they cannot store fat again. This makes Kybella one of the few non-surgical treatments that can produce permanent fat reduction. Maintaining a stable weight can help preserve your results.
Most patients tolerate Kybella very well. A topical or local anesthetic is typically used to improve comfort. You may experience a temporary stinging, burning, or warming sensation during the injections, followed by mild tenderness and swelling afterward.
You may begin noticing improvements within several weeks as your body gradually clears the treated fat cells. Because Kybella works through a natural elimination process, results appear progressively rather than immediately. Most patients appreciate visible contour improvements after completing their recommended treatment series.
Kybella is formulated to reduce unwanted fat beneath the chin, but it does not tighten significant skin laxity or address underlying muscle banding. If loose skin, excess tissue, or advanced signs of aging are contributing to your concerns, Dr. Torkian may recommend a neck lift or another facial rejuvenation procedure to achieve more comprehensive results.
