Kybella Miami: Double Chin Treatment
If a double chin has been bothering you, Kybella in Miami offers a way to reduce that fullness under the chin with no surgery and no incisions. Kybella is an FDA approved injectable that permanently dissolves fat cells beneath the chin, giving you a sharper, more defined jawline over a few weeks. Here is everything the Yeny Liscano team wants you to understand about how it works, what it really costs, and whether it is right for you before you book.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is the brand name for deoxycholic acid, a substance your body already makes to help break down dietary fat. In injectable form, it targets and destroys fat cells under the chin, an area doctors call submental fat. Kybella has been FDA approved since 2015 for moderate to severe fullness below the chin. Once those fat cells are destroyed, they cannot store fat again, which is why the result is considered permanent.
That last part is the big difference between Kybella and a filler. Fillers add volume and fade over time. Kybella removes fat that does not come back, so you treat the area over a series of sessions and then you are done.
What Kybella treats
A double chin is not always about weight. Plenty of fit, healthy people carry a pocket of fat under the chin because of the way their genes distribute fat, and no amount of diet or exercise will move it. Kybella is built for exactly that stubborn submental fullness.
Kybella works well when:
- You have a soft pocket of fat under the chin that you can pinch
- Your skin still has decent tone and elasticity
- You want a more defined jawline without surgery or general anesthesia
- Diet and workouts have not touched the area
It is not the right tool if your main issue is loose, sagging skin rather than fat. Kybella reduces fat, it does not tighten skin, and the team will say so directly rather than sell you a treatment that will not get you the result you want.
How Kybella works at our Miami Beach studio
Everything starts with a consultation. The Yeny Liscano team examines the area under your chin, checks your skin quality, and confirms whether fat or skin laxity is the real concern. This is part of the Liscano Method, our detail focused approach built around natural, harmonious results that fit your face.
On treatment day, the team cleans the area, applies numbing, and marks a small grid under your chin so each injection lands in the right spot. The injections themselves take only about fifteen to twenty minutes. You can drive yourself home and get back to your day, keeping in mind that swelling is part of the process.
How many sessions will you need?
Kybella is a series, not a one and done. According to the prescribing information, a provider can give up to 50 injections in a single session, with sessions spaced at least one month apart, and up to six sessions total. In practice, most people at our studio reach the look they want in about two to four sessions, depending on how much fullness they started with.
Results build gradually. Because your body needs time to clear the destroyed fat cells, most people start seeing a difference around four to six weeks after a session, with the fullest result showing after a couple of months and the full series complete. It rewards a little patience, and the payoff is a change that stays.
Is there downtime?
This is the honest part people appreciate. The most common thing after Kybella is swelling under the chin, and it can be noticeable. That swelling is actually a sign the treatment is doing its job on the fat. It usually peaks in the first few days and can linger up to about two weeks, especially after your first session.
You may also notice some bruising, tenderness, numbness, or firmness in the area for a little while. None of this is unusual. The team gives you simple aftercare tips and, because swelling is expected, many patients like to schedule the first session ahead of a quieter week rather than right before a big event.
Does Kybella hurt?
Most people describe it as very manageable. The team numbs the area and uses ice before and during treatment, so the injections feel like brief stinging or warmth rather than sharp pain. Afterward the area can feel tender and swollen, which eases as the days pass.
How much does Kybella cost in Miami?
Kybella in Miami is usually priced per vial. Across the Miami market, a vial generally runs about 600 to 1,200 dollars. Most chin treatments use two to four vials per session, and since many people do two to six sessions, your total investment depends on how much fat you are treating and how many rounds you need.
Because it is a series, the smart way to think about cost is the full plan, not a single visit. The upside is that once you finish, there is nothing to maintain, so there are no repeat costs the way there are with treatments that wear off. Your exact plan and price are confirmed at your consultation, with no surprise add ons.
One word of caution that applies anywhere. Be careful with prices that look too good to be true. Kybella needs to be placed by a trained, careful hand in a very specific zone under the chin, and that skill is what keeps the treatment both safe and natural looking.
Kybella compared to other jawline options
If you are weighing your choices, here is the quick picture:
- Kybella versus surgery: liposuction or a neck lift removes fat too, but with real recovery, anesthesia, and a higher cost. Kybella has no incisions and no operating room.
- Kybella versus dermal fillers: dermal fillers can sharpen a jawline by adding structure along the bone, while Kybella removes fat underneath. Some people combine the two for a cleaner profile, which the team can plan as part of your facial contouring.
- Kybella versus skin tightening: if loose skin is the issue, Kybella is not the answer, and the team will point you to a better fit.
Are you a good candidate?
You may be a strong candidate if you are a healthy adult, you have a pocket of fat under the chin that bothers you, your skin still has decent tone, and you have realistic expectations about a gradual result. The only way to know for sure is a consultation, where the team gives you an honest answer about whether Kybella, a filler, or a different approach fits your goals.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Kybella cost in Miami?
In Miami, Kybella is usually priced per vial, most often around 600 to 1,200 dollars per vial. Most chin treatments use 2 to 4 vials per session, and many people do 2 to 6 sessions, so your total depends on how much fullness you are treating. Your exact plan and price are confirmed at your consultation.
How many Kybella sessions will I need?
Most people need 2 to 4 sessions, though the label allows up to 6, spaced about one month apart. The number depends on how much fat is under your chin and the result you want. The team maps out a realistic plan at your consultation.
Are Kybella results permanent?
Yes. Kybella destroys the fat cells under the chin, and once they are gone they cannot store fat again. As long as your weight stays stable, the result lasts. There is no ongoing maintenance treatment needed.
Is there downtime after Kybella?
Swelling under the chin is normal and expected after Kybella, since the treatment is breaking down fat. It usually peaks in the first few days and can last up to about two weeks. Many people plan their first session before a lighter stretch on their calendar.
Does Kybella hurt?
The team numbs the area and uses ice first, so the injections are tolerable for most people. You may feel some stinging or warmth during treatment and tenderness afterward, which settles as the swelling goes down.
Will Kybella tighten loose skin under my chin?
No. Kybella reduces fat, it does not tighten skin. If your main concern is loose or crepey skin rather than fullness, the team will tell you honestly and suggest a better fit at your consultation.
