Melt Your Double Chin — No Surgery, Just Confidence

Kybella® in Los Angeles & Sherman Oaks

Have you tried every face cream, every diet tweak, and still have that stubborn “double chin”? You’re not alone. Submental fullness can undermine your profile, age your face, and affect how confident you feel on camera or in selfies.

But here’s the good news: Kybella® provides a targeted, non-surgical way to dissolve fat under the chin — sculpting a cleaner, sharper jawline. At Z Center for Cosmetic Health, Dr. Michael Zadeh delivers Kybella with precision, safety, and an artistic eye, helping patients across Los Angeles look more defined and feel more confident.

What Is Kybella & How Does It Work?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment using deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body naturally uses to break down fat. When injected into the fat beneath your chin (the submental area), Kybella destroys fat cells, which are then naturally eliminated by your body’s metabolic processes. Once destroyed, these fat cells won’t regenerate — offering lasting results (barring significant weight changes).

It’s not liposuction — it’s smarter, safer, and designed for those who want results without incisions, general anesthesia, or prolonged downtime.

What Makes a Great Kybella Treatment?

To get smooth, natural, and safe results, you need:

  • A thorough chin assessment, including skin elasticity, fat volume, and anatomy

  • Precise mapping and injection technique to avoid complications

  • Custom dosing and treatment planning (not a “one-size-fits-all” vial count)

  • Post-care support to manage swelling and optimize recovery

  • A provider with face anatomy mastery

At Z Center, you're not receiving a generic plan — Dr. Zadeh crafts your treatment strategy based on your unique structure, skin, and goals.

Who Is a Good Candidate — and Who Should Wait?

Ideal candidate

  • Moderate to significant fat beneath the chin

  • Sufficient skin elasticity (so you don’t end up with sagging, loose skin)

  • Realistic goals and willingness to follow through with sessions

  • In good overall health, without infection in the area

When caution is needed

  • Extensive loose skin with minimal fat (may need skin tightening or surgical options)

  • Active infection, clotting disorders, or certain medical conditions

During consultation, we’ll review if Kybella alone is ideal — or if combining treatments (e.g. Genius RF Microneedling, CoolSculpting) will give you a better, more balanced result.

Why Choose Dr. Zadeh for Kybella

  • Board-certified surgical insight: Dr. Zadeh’s deep understanding of facial anatomy ensures safe, efficient, and beautiful results

  • Tailored treatment, not mass-market protocols — we design your plan, not force you into preset packages

  • Supportive continuum of care — from consultation through aftercare, we guide and monitor your progress

  • Complementary options if needed — if your skin laxity is high, we combine Kybella with Genius RF Microneedling or skin-tightening modalities

  • Local reputation you can trust — patients from Sherman Oaks, Encino, Studio City, and all over L.A. choose us for precision, results, and integrity

Frequently Asked Questions

How many treatments will I need?

The number of treatment sessions you will need depends on your specific goals for treatment, as well as your amount of submental fullness. You may need between one and six treatments, each of which would take place a month apart.
Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recovery time?

Kybella will usually cause some swelling, bruising, redness, or numbness in the treatment area, which will go away naturally. The amount of time this will take will vary by patient.
Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect?

Kybella treatment takes place over the course of 1-6 sessions of injections, each of which should be about 15 to 20 minutes long. These treatments will take place a month apart. The results of each treatment are usually seen 4-6 weeks after the session. Once you reach your desired fat reduction goals, no further treatments of Kybella will be needed.
Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Kybella for?

Kybella could be used for any adult who is troubled by their submental fullness, or double chin. It may be especially useful for patients who eat well and exercise, yet still have stubborn submental fullness that they cannot get rid of. Kybella is also a great option for those who want to treat this submental fullness non-surgically. Only your doctor can decide if Kybella is right for you.
