Kybella® Fat Dissolve and Filler Dissolve
Looking for a non-surgical way to refine your facial contours or reverse unwanted filler? At Dioo Medical Aesthetics in Pasadena, CA, our expert team offers targeted Kybella® fat-dissolving injections and hyaluronidase filler dissolving treatments to sculpt your features and restore facial balance. Whether you’re struggling with submental fullness (double chin) or overfilled lips or cheeks, our team’s expertise ensures safe, effective correction.
About Kybella®
Kybella® is the only FDA-approved injectable treatment that permanently reduces submental fat (under the chin) using naturally occurring deoxycholic acid that breaks down fat cells. Once destroyed, those fat cells are eliminated through the body’s natural processes and cannot return.
Kybella® is commonly used for:
- Double chin / under-chin fat
- Small fat pockets along the jawline
- Bra bulge, armpit rolls, or other off-label areas (in select cases)
What to expect:
- The majority of patients require 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart
- Each session takes 15–20 minutes
- Swelling, redness, or tenderness are common for the first few days post-injection
- Final results appear in 6–8 weeks as fat is metabolized
Kybella® can also be paired with thread lifts or body sculpting treatments for full lower face and body contouring.
When to Choose Filler Dissolve
If you’ve had dermal filler results you’re unhappy with or if filler has migrated, over-corrected, or caused lumps, hyaluronidase can help. This enzyme safely breaks down hyaluronic acid-based fillers (like Juvederm®, Restylane®, Versa™, etc.) and allows for re-treatment or correction.
Common reasons to dissolve filler:
- Overfilled lips, cheeks, or under-eyes
- Lumps, unevenness, or asymmetry
- Migration above the lip border (“duck lips”)
- Delayed allergic reaction or swelling
- Desire to return to natural facial contours
Important notes:
- Results are fast, often visible within 24–72 hours
- We always patch test for allergic reactions before treatment
- Multiple treatments may be required, depending on the amount and age of filler
- Once filler is dissolved, you may choose to reinject after 2–3 weeks
Treatment Process
Whether you’re treating excess fat with Kybella® or dissolving misplaced filler, our process is personalized and medically supervised:
Consultation
We’ll assess your facial anatomy, previous treatments (if any), and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine if Kybella® or hyaluronidase is appropriate.
Treatment Day
After cleansing and numbing the area (if needed), precise injections are made using ultra-fine needles. Treatment time is brief, about 15–30 minutes.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Kybella®: Swelling and firmness in the area can last a few days to a week. Avoid strenuous activity for 24–48 hours.
- Hyaluronidase: Swelling or mild tenderness is common but usually resolves within 2–3 days. Results develop quickly.
Follow-Up
You’ll be scheduled for review appointments to monitor progress and plan additional sessions if needed.
FAQs
How many Kybella® sessions will I need?
Most patients need 2–4 treatments for optimal fat reduction, spaced one month apart. Some may need more depending on the volume of fat in the area.
Is Kybella® permanent?
Once fat cells are destroyed with Kybella®, they are permanently eliminated. However, weight gain may affect surrounding fat cells.
Can all fillers be dissolved?
Only hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Fillers like Sculptra® or Radiesse® cannot be reversed this way.
How soon can I get re-treated after dissolving filler?
We typically recommend waiting 2–3 weeks after filler dissolving before reinjecting, to allow swelling to subside and tissue to settle.
Is dissolving filler safe?
When administered by a licensed and experienced provider, hyaluronidase is very safe. We perform a test dose before treatment to rule out rare allergic reactions, ensuring your safety and peace of mind.
