Fat-Dissolving Treatment
Fat-Dissolving Treatment
Targeted, Non-Surgical Contouring for Stubborn Areas That Resist Diet and Exercise at Four Massachusetts Locations
Fat-dissolving treatment at GFaceMD uses Kybella®, the only FDA-approved injectable for non-surgical fat reduction, to permanently eliminate small pockets of stubborn fat that resist exercise and healthy eating. Kybella® treatment uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule that destroys targeted fat cells, which are then cleared naturally by the body. Every fat-dissolving injection plan at GFaceMD is personalized to your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and recovery preferences, delivering gradual, natural-looking contour refinement.
Double chin treatment is the primary and FDA-approved application; GFaceMD also treats additional areas off-label based on candidacy. Chin fat removal and refined submental fat treatment are achieved with a conservative, anatomy-driven approach. This treatment is conveniently available at all four GFaceMD locations in Boston, Wellesley, Andover, and Mashpee, providing expert-level care to patients throughout Massachusetts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many Kybella® sessions are needed?
Most patients require 2–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for the submental area. The number of sessions depends on the volume of fat, anatomy, and desired outcome.
Is fat-dissolving treatment permanent?
The fat cells destroyed by Kybella® do not regenerate. Results are permanent as long as weight remains stable; significant weight gain can add new fat cells to the area.
Is Kybella® painful?
Swelling, tenderness, and temporary numbness are common after treatment. The injections themselves involve a mild burning sensation that resolves quickly. Most patients manage comfortably with over-the-counter pain relief as needed.
