01
Before Your Treatment
Your visit begins with a detailed consultation focused on your jawline concerns. We assess skin quality, fat distribution, jawline structure, and overall facial proportions. Together, we customize a treatment plan that outlines the number of sessions likely needed to achieve refined, balanced contours.
02
During Your Treatment
Your injector maps the submental area carefully to ensure precise placement. Treatment typically takes 20 to 30 minutes. Most patients require a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. Results appear gradually as your body metabolizes the dissolved fat cells over time.
03
Immediately After Your Treatment
You may notice mild swelling, firmness, warmth, or tenderness in the treated area. These responses are normal and expected. To promote comfort, apply cool compresses as directed and keep your head elevated. Most patients return to their normal activities the same day.
04
In the Days Following Your Treatment
Swelling often peaks within 48 hours and subsides over several days or weeks. Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat for the first 24 hours. Temporary side effects may include swelling, bruising, numbness, or mild firmness as Kybella dissolves targeted fat cells.

Kybella benefits include:
- Improved chin-to-neck transition
- Enhanced jawline contour
- A more balanced lower face
Patients often share that they stop angling their head in pictures, feel more comfortable wearing their hair up, and no longer fixate as much on their side profile.
That subtle shift can make a meaningful difference in how you carry yourself. They appear more confident in profile photos, when giving presentations in person and on video calls, and while enjoying social activities in and around St. Louis.
Patients who commit to a healthy lifestyle maximize long-term outcomes. During a consultation, we confirm candidacy and design a series-based approach that builds gradual, natural-looking improvements tailored to your goals.
