A sharper jawline starts with a conversation

KYBELLA® is an FDA-approved injectable that permanently reduces stubborn fat beneath the chin, the submental fullness that diet and exercise often can’t budge. Through a quick series of tiny injections, it breaks down targeted fat cells so your body clears them naturally. Over the following months, a smoother, more sculpted jawline emerges.
The best part: once those targeted fat cells are gone, they’re gone. Your body won’t make new ones, so your results are built to last.
KYBELLA® is made with deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body produces naturally to break down dietary fat. Injected precisely beneath the chin, it dissolves the walls of fat cells so they can be safely absorbed and eliminated. As those cells clear, your profile becomes slimmer and more defined.
Appointments are quick, around 30 minutes, and most patients need a series of treatments for full results.
A defined jawline is about two things: the fat under the skin and the firmness of the skin. KYBELLA® handles the first, permanently reducing submental fat. Sofwave™ addresses the second, using advanced ultrasound to stimulate collagen and tighten the skin in that same area.
For some patients, especially when there’s both fullness and a bit of laxity, pairing the two delivers a more complete, sculpted result. KYBELLA® dissolves what you don’t want, while Sofwave™ firms what remains. During your consultation, we’ll tell you honestly whether one treatment or the pairing makes sense for your anatomy and goals.
KYBELLA® is the first and only FDA-approved injectable of its kind for submental fat. No surgery, no implants, and no ongoing maintenance once you’ve reached your goal. It’s made by Allergan® (the makers of Botox® and Juvéderm®), which means built-in accountability, safety standards, and Allē rewards. As a top Allergan practice, our injectors bring the precision this treatment rewards.
It’s customized to you, but most patients need a minimum of two sessions, and many do best with up to six for full results. Your injector maps your plan at consultation.
Gradually, over the weeks and months after treatment, as your body clears the dissolved fat cells. A smoother, more defined jawline emerges over time, and with a stable weight, it lasts.
Here’s the honest answer we give every patient: KYBELLA® destroys fat cells in the treated area, and those specific cells are gone, your body doesn’t grow them back. What that means day to day is that the area holds onto far less fat than it used to. The nuance worth understanding is that a meaningful change in your weight can still plump up whatever cells remain, so your jawline looks its sharpest when your weight stays roughly steady. Think of KYBELLA® as resetting the baseline in that area, then your everyday habits keep it looking its best.
Yes. KYBELLA® was FDA-approved in 2015 for submental fullness and is considered safe for most healthy adults 21 and over. It isn’t recommended during pregnancy or nursing, or for those allergic to lidocaine.
Often, yes. KYBELLA® reduces the fat while Sofwave™ tightens the skin in the same area, so pairing them can give a more complete jawline result. We’ll advise whether it’s right for you.

“There is no better place in LA to get injections. The entire staff at Lovely’s is kind, professional, and talented. I have seen several injectors here and each time I am amazed by how talented they are! I have had Botox and fillers for the past 15 years, and once I found the team at Skin by Lovely, I knew I had found the best. They are actual artists. They look at the entire face, top to bottom, and determine what is best. I look better know than I did in my 20s! Also, I recently had Kybella, and I cannot wait for the results! It’s already looking great just a few weeks in!”
