Why Undergo Kybella® Treatment?
There are several reasons why you should consider treatment with Kybella® at Batniji Facial Plastic Surgery in Newport Beach:
- It melts fat in a quick, comfortable, and effective way without the need for general anesthesia or downtime.
- Kybella® will help to accentuate the natural beauty and shape of your face, creating a smoother, younger, and more attractive appearance.
- It boasts a high rate of success. In clinical studies, it was discovered that around 80 percent of people who had a Kybella® treatment rated the results very positively.
- Kybella® injection cost is much more affordable than plastic surgery.
- The treatment does not require a recovery period and will not disrupt your regular routine.
- After Kybella® has eliminated the unwanted fat cells, you’ll no longer be able to accumulate fat in the treated area. For this reason, no additional treatments are necessary.
- With Kybella® injections, side effects are normally mild and short-lived.
The Kybella® Procedure
Prior to receiving your Kybella® treatment, Dr. Batniji, nurse practitioner Ashley Lankford, or physician assistant Charlotte Bader will meet with you for a consultation. During this meeting, they will assess the severity of your submental fat, answer any questions you may have, and go over what you hope to achieve through the treatment.
They will develop a plan of treatment that works best for you and will decide how much of the product is required to achieve your desired results. You may be able to undergo the Kybella® procedure immediately after your consultation.
Before starting your treatment, you will have your face cleansed thoroughly, and if you choose, a topical anesthetic will be administered. However, while the injections may cause brief localized discomfort, this is usually so mild that most people don’t feel the need to have the anesthetic applied.
Afterward, Dr. Batniji will administer carefully measured doses of Kybella® into the area beneath your chin in a way that ensures even elimination of the fat and the most natural-looking results possible. The entire procedure can be completed in about 30 minutes.
Are You a Candidate for Kybella®?
In most cases, anyone who wants to get rid of stubborn, unattractive fat under their chin is an ideal candidate for the Kybella® procedure. However, it’s important that candidates have no major physical or psychological health problems, possess reasonable goals for the results of the treatment, and have a thorough understanding of how Kybella® works.
People of any age, gender, ethnicity, and skin type can experience good results with Kybella®. The only people who are not ideal candidates for the procedure are nursing or pregnant women, people with clotting disorders, and those with suppressed immunity or active infections.
If you’ve had other injections or cosmetic surgery in the treatment area within the past four months, Dr. Batniji may recommend an alternative plan for your treatment. In addition, if you have excess skin or significant scarring in the area, the procedure may not be a good fit for you, and Dr. Batniji may suggest a different avenue for addressing your submental fat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Kybella FAQs
This depends on the extent of your submental fat and how many injections are required. Typically, however, the Kybella® procedure will take between 15 minutes and half an hour. After the skin is prepared, Dr. Batniji only has to administer the product into your under-chin fat.
You will begin to see a difference after two to four treatments. However, certain patients may need as many as six sessions in order to obtain the results they want. Each session is generally done one month apart, and these can be scheduled to suit your needs.
Because Kybella® is minimally invasive and doesn’t require anesthesia, there is no need to alter your normal routine after treatment. You may go about your daily life as usual, including exercise.
While Kybella® melts fat and can provide significant results; it does not do it immediately. In most cases, you will begin to notice a difference after two treatments. The full scope of the results tends to become apparent over the proceeding weeks as the fat continues to dissolve.
Unlike many other treatments for submental fat, Kybella® ensures that it will not return. No additional treatments are needed after the first series of treatments. This ensures a more youthful chin permanently.
There is a potential for side effects with almost any treatment. With Kybella® injections, side effects are rarely serious. Most patients will only experience localized bruising, swelling, and soreness that go away on their own after a few days. In rare cases, patients may have excessive bleeding, temporary numbness, or difficulty swallowing.
You can go back to your job whenever you feel ready. Many patients choose to have the Kybella® treatment over their lunch break and can return to work right away.
