What Are Fat Dissolvers?
Fat dissolvers like Kybella are made from a synthetic form of deoxycholic acid — a naturally occurring digestive enzyme in the body that helps break down and absorb dietary fat. When injected into specific areas, our fat dissolvers disrupt the membranes of treated fat cells, allowing your body to process and eliminate the released contents gradually over time.
At BelleSante, we use fat dissolvers as precision contouring tools. Our measured approach creates gradual, natural-looking results that develop over time. Rather than delivering dramatic changes overnight, we make our fat dissolvers work for you gradually, with your body's natural processes, to reveal refined contours that appear as though they've always been there.
Fat Dissolver Treatment Areas
At BelleSante by Kristine Romine, MD, we use fat dissolvers as sculptural tools to refine and accentuate your features with precision. Our expertise allows us to target specific areas to enhance your natural contours rather than producing an overdone appearance.
These treatments can address:
- Under-chin fullness for a more defined profile
- Jowl refinement for a sharper jawline
- Bra area contours for improved clothing fit
- Localized fat deposits resistant to diet and exercise
- Profile definition for enhanced facial structure
- Jawline enhancement for more defined features
Our fat dissolvers offer a nonsurgical way to eliminate stubborn deposits of fat in hard-to-target areas, making them a popular choice among both men and women looking to eliminate a double chin, sculpt the jawline and refine their contours.
Your Treatment Experience
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Kristine Romine, MD, or Sara Romine, DNP, FNP-C, who will evaluate your concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique anatomy and goals.
During your treatment session, the area will be cleansed and marked for precision. Then, a series of small injections will be administered in the targeted areas. We use advanced techniques and expert placement to ensure each injection delivers smooth, even results that align with your natural features. Our approach emphasizes proportion, symmetry and subtle enhancement — helping you look like the best version of yourself, with minimal downtime.
For optimal results, our fat-dissolving treatments are typically performed in a series and often combined with your other treatments. We recommend two to six sessions spaced about four to six weeks apart, or incorporated into your quarterly BelleSante Skin Gym schedule. We have created a unique method for small doses of Kybella to work slowly over time, reducing fat deposits without the potential dramatic swelling when using larger amounts. Results develop gradually as your body metabolizes the treated fat cells, ensuring a natural progression that’s subtle and flattering.
Unlike traditional fat removal methods, there are no incisions or scars. Mild swelling or tenderness may occur in the days following treatment, but downtime is minimal. Most of our patients return to daily activities shortly after their appointments.
