Often, due to bone structure, weight, or age, fat hangs visibly under the chin. Those who experience this issue may feel self-conscious, leading them to wish for a sleeker, slimmer look. Now, with the cutting-edge Kybella® treatment offered by one of Hawaiʻi Island’s top cosmetic surgeons, David K. Hiranaka, M.D., D.M.D., that wish is finally coming true.

The Kybella method is the first and only FDA-approved injection-based treatment to combat this issue. While other cosmetic surgery options involve going under the knife, this quick, non-invasive treatment effectively reduces the appearance of fat beneath the chin. When Kybella is injected into the chin, it immediately begins destroying fat cells—and the benefits don’t stop there. The injection’s active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, also prevents the future production of dietary fat. That means after the initial Kybella treatments, you will not need to repeat the procedure in the years to come.

Kybella is a trusted option for diminishing the accumulation of moderate to severe fat beneath the chin. Depending on the degree of desired results, patients will receive between two and six treatments. These sessions last just 20 minutes. After treatment, the chin and neckline gradually become slimmer, leading to a natural-looking, more youthful and attractive appearance.
