If you’ve been bothered by fullness under the chin—often called a “double chin”—you’ve probably heard of Kybella. But with all the buzz around this treatment, there’s also a lot of confusion.


At Renovo, we’re here to clear things up. Let’s break down the most common myths—and the real facts—about Kybella.


Myth #1: “Kybella Is Just Like Filler”


The Truth: Kybella is not a filler. It works completely differently.


Kybella is made of deoxycholic acid, a substance that breaks down and permanently destroys fat cells in the treated area.


Instead of adding volume, it reduces fullness—specifically under the chin.


Myth #2: “Results Are Instant”


The Truth:Kybella works gradually.


After treatment, your body needs time to break down and eliminate the fat cells, so results appear over several weeks.


Most clients require a series of sessions for optimal contouring and definition.


Myth #3: “The Fat Will Come Back”


The Truth: Once fat cells are destroyed, they are gone permanently.


With Kybella, the treated fat cells cannot store or accumulate fat again.


However, maintaining a stable weight is important—remaining fat cells in the body can still expand with weight gain.


Myth #4: “It’s Only for Older Clients”


The Truth: Double chin fat isn’t just age-related—it can be caused by genetics, weight, or natural anatomy.


Kybella is a great option for:

  • Younger clients with genetic fullness

  • Clients at a stable weight

  • Anyone wanting a more defined jawline without surgery


Myth #5: “The Downtime Is Too Much”


The Truth: There is temporary swelling, but it’s a normal and expected part of the process.


Common side effects include:

  • Swelling (sometimes significant for a few days)

  • Mild bruising

  • Tenderness


This swelling actually indicates that the product is actively working to break down fat.


Most clients return to normal activities shortly after treatment.


Myth #6: “Surgery Is the Only Real Solution”


The Truth: While procedures like liposuction are an option, Kybella offers a non-surgical alternative with no incisions, anesthesia, or long recovery time.


It’s ideal for clients who want:

  • Gradual, natural-looking results

  • Minimal downtime

  • No surgery
