At CTMAX, every treatment is performed by a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon — a specialist in facial anatomy and balance. You’re not just getting an aesthetic treatment; you’re getting precision care from experts who understand the face inside and out.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Consultation
We’ll start with an in-depth consultation to evaluate your chin and neck area, review your health history, and determine if Kybella® is the right fit for you. - Treatment
The procedure takes about 20–30 minutes. A series of small injections are placed strategically under your chin to target fat cells. Patients typically describe the sensation as mild warmth or tingling. - Aftercare
Some swelling, redness, or tenderness is normal for a few days as your body begins clearing out the destroyed fat cells. You can return to work or normal activity within a day or two. - Results
Over the next several weeks, your body naturally flushes away the treated fat cells. You’ll notice gradual improvement after each session, with final results typically visible after a series of treatments.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Every patient’s anatomy is unique. Most people need 2–4 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, for optimal results. Smaller areas may only require two treatments, while more prominent fullness might need additional sessions.
During your consultation, we’ll create a customized plan tailored to your aesthetic goals — ensuring natural-looking results that fit your facial profile.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Kybella®?
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- Have mild to moderate fullness beneath your chin
- Maintain a healthy weight but still see a double chin
- Want a non-surgical solution
- Have good skin tone and elasticity
If skin laxity or sagging is more of a concern than fat, our team can recommend complementary treatments such as PicoSure® laser tightening or Botox® for the jawline (Masseter reduction) to help you achieve a smoother, more defined contour.

Q: Does Kybella® hurt?
Most patients describe a mild burning or tingling sensation during treatment that subsides quickly. We can use topical numbing or ice to make you completely comfortable.
