Kybella in San Mateo — Physician-Administered Double-Chin Reduction

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable made of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule that occurs naturally in the body to help break down and absorb dietary fat. When carefully injected into the fat beneath the chin (submental fullness), it destroys fat cells so they can no longer store or accumulate fat. Because those cells are permanently eliminated, results are long-lasting once your desired contour is reached.

At MD Laser & Cosmetics in San Mateo, Kybella is administered by Dr. Susan Lin, a board-certified physician who has practiced medicine in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1991 and founded the practice in 2006.

• A non-surgical alternative to liposuction for a double chin
• Permanent reduction of treated fat cells
• No incisions and little to no downtime for most patients
• Physician-administered for precise, individualized dosing
• Improves profile and jawline definition

Your treatment begins with a consultation and mapping of the injection area. Most patients need a short series of sessions (commonly two to four) spaced about four to six weeks apart. Each session involves a series of small injections and takes roughly 15–20 minutes. Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising for a few days is normal, and results appear gradually over the following weeks as the body clears the treated fat cells.
