What Are Fat-Dissolving Injections?
When we think of places where unwanted fat can gather, we usually think about the stomach, thighs, buttocks, or arms. The truth is that fat can be stored almost anywhere on your body — including the upper throat area, where it creates the appearance of a "double chin." These pockets of stubborn fat beneath the chin (or the submental area) can be caused by weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics, ultimately leading to a weaker chin and jawline for an undefined profile. At TOP ReNu Medicine, we offer an innovative approach for women and men in North Aurora and the Greater Chicago, IL area who are interested in getting rid of neck fat: fat-dissolving injections. These injections use a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, which acts like the natural DA in the body to dissolve and absorb fat. After it has been injected under the chin, you can see a visible decrease in the volume of fat. When the fat is destroyed, the cells will not re-form so you are able to enjoy your new, slimmer profile and defined jawline for years to come. To learn more about fat-dissolving injections and other nonsurgical aesthetic treatments we offer, reach out to our office to schedule a consultation with our provider-led team.
How Do Fat-Dissolving Injections Work?
We offer a variety of fat-dissolving options at TOP ReNu Medicine, including KYBELLA®, the first injectable formula approved by the FDA for the treatment of submental fat. Fat-dissolving injections are performed in-office in one of our private treatment rooms. Before starting, we'll cleanse the skin and apply a numbing ointment. The injection process takes around 15 minutes and includes several small injections into the submental area. Some patients may only need one treatment to achieve their desired goal, while others may require a series of injections spaced three weeks apart at our North Aurora, IL office.
What Are the Benefits of Fat-Dissolving Injections?
It only takes a little bit of submental fat to affect the overall look of your face and chin. Fat-dissolving injections at TOP ReNu Medicine offer a solution for this problem with benefits that include:
- Hardly any downtime following injections
- Quick outcomes that offer you the jawline profile you've always wished for
- Nonsurgical alternative to surgical procedures
- Fast visits that coincide with your nonstop agenda

Am I A Candidate for Fat-Dissolving Injections?
The ideal candidates for KYBELLA injections have additional fat in the upper neck (submental area) that creates a double chin or unwanted volume. This injection corrects resistant areas of fat that cannot be reduced with usual weight loss methods due to genetics, aging, or several other conditions. If you are at or near a healthy weight, but diet and exercise have not helped to remove the fat in your upper neck, KYBELLA may be the right procedure for your needs. While KYBELLA can correct small to moderate amounts of fat in the upper neck, larger amounts of fat may require surgical neck liposuction at TOP ReNu Medicine.
Fat-Dissolving Injections FAQ
Where can KYBELLA be injected?
KYBELLA is currently FDA-approved for use only under the chin, where it targets submental fat. This approach is designed to help contour and slim the profile in just a few sessions, making it a reliable option for patients seeking long-term results without surgery.
How much does KYBELLA cost?
The cost of KYBELLA depends on the number of sessions needed to reach your goals, as it often takes more than one treatment for best results. During your consultation, we'll review your treatment plan and provide a clear cost breakdown so you'll know what to expect. Financing options may also be available to make your treatment more manageable.
Is KYBELLA permanent?
KYBELLA provides a long-term solution by breaking down targeted fat cells under the chin, which the body naturally eliminates. Once these fat cells are gone, they don't return, so your results are considered permanent. Keeping a stable weight can help you enjoy lasting benefits from your treatment.
