Kybella
Double Chin Removal in Indianapolis, IN

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable designed to target and eliminate stubborn fat beneath the chin, often referred to as a “double chin”. The goal is to sculpt and define the jawline by permanently reducing excess fat, providing a non-surgical solution for a more youthful and contoured appearance. If you’re considering Kybella Indianapolis patients should contact us to book a consultation. We can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Kybella with SHarper Plastic Surgery

At SHarper Plastic Surgery in Indianapolis, Kybella and Liquid Lipo treatments offer patients an innovative, non-surgical solution for reducing stubborn fat deposits beneath the chin and in other small body areas. Led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Stanley Harper and Dr. Jaime Harper, our expert team provides FDA-approved injectables designed to target and permanently destroy fat cells for a more defined, youthful appearance. Whether you’re bothered by a double chin, bra bulge, or small stubborn fat pockets that resist diet and exercise, Kybella and Liquid Lipo can help sculpt the contoured look you’ve been wanting—with almost no downtime and beautiful results.

Confidence from Every Angle

What is Kybella?

Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved injectable treatment designed specifically for submental fat—commonly referred to as a double chin. The active ingredient in Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into targeted areas, Kybella disrupts and destroys fat cells permanently, meaning those cells can no longer store or accumulate fat.

While most patients recognize Kybella for double chin removal, this minimally invasive treatment is also effective for small deposits of fat in other areas such as the upper arms, inner thighs, outer thighs, and bra bulge.

Is Kybella Right for You?

Kybella Candidates

Kybella and Liquid Lipo are designed for people who are bothered by stubborn fat deposits that don’t go away with a healthy diet and exercise. Ideal candidates are non-smokers in good general health who want to address a double chin, upper arm fullness, inner or outer thighs, or other small pockets of fat.

You may be a good candidate for Kybella or Liquid Lipo if you feel self-conscious about a double chin or localized fat bulges, you are seeking a non-surgical fat removal option, or you want a more defined jawline or smoother body contours.

Kybella is not designed for large-scale fat reduction or as a replacement for traditional liposuction. It is best suited for patients with small areas of stubborn fat and good skin elasticity, since loose skin may remain after fat reduction. Patients with certain medical conditions, allergies, or uncontrolled health issues may not be ideal candidates, and this will be discussed during your consultation.

Sculpting Without Surgery

Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation at SHarper Plastic Surgery, Dr. Harper or a member of our expert team will carefully assess your complexion and discuss your desired outcome. We’ll evaluate whether Kybella, Liquid Lipo, or another option is best to achieve optimal results.

We’ll also review your medical history, medications, and any previous fat reduction treatments to ensure you’re a safe candidate. Before treatment, you may be advised to avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements to minimize mild swelling and bruising at the injection site. Our team will answer all your questions and set expectations for recovery, ensuring you feel fully prepared.

Your Kybella Treatment

On the day of your procedure, the treatment area will be marked and, if necessary, a numbing agent may be applied to maximize comfort. The actual Kybella treatment typically takes only 15–30 minutes. Using a fine needle, small amounts of synthetic deoxycholic acid are injected into targeted stubborn fat deposits.

Once injected, Kybella immediately begins working to break down and destroy fat cells permanently. The same applies to Liquid Lipo treatments, which are often performed interchangeably depending on your unique needs. Both options are quick, safe, and tailored for natural-looking results with minimal discomfort.

Your Timeline to Transformation

Results

Most people notice visible changes in the treated area within four to six weeks after their first Kybella injections, with full results appearing after multiple sessions. On average, patients require two to four treatments to achieve their desired results, though some may need more depending on the amount of excess fat present.

Because Kybella and Liquid Lipo permanently destroy fat cells, the results are long-lasting. Once removed, the treated fat cells cannot return. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and diet is important to preserve your contoured appearance, as weight gain can cause other fat cells to enlarge.

Healing with Minimal Downtime

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients experience only mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site for a few days. These effects typically resolve on their own, allowing you to return to your normal activities quickly.

To ensure optimal results, you should avoid intense exercise, heat exposure, and touching or massaging the treated area for 24–48 hours. Swelling is a normal part of the process and a sign that the fat cells are being destroyed.

Some patients may also notice temporary firmness in the area as their body metabolizes the fat. Following a healthy lifestyle after treatment helps maintain your new defined jawline or smoother body contour.

Investing in Lasting Results

How Much Does Kybella Cost?

The cost of Kybella in Indianapolis varies depending on the size of the treatment area, the number of sessions required, and whether Liquid Lipo procedures are included. Because each treatment is customized, pricing will be discussed during your consultation.

Typically, costs include the injectable itself, physician or injector fees, and any post-treatment care. Compared to traditional liposuction, Kybella is a more affordable, non-surgical option with the added benefit of minimal downtime. Our team can also discuss payment plans and package options to help make your treatment more accessible.
