§ 01 · What causes it

The why.

Genetics and body composition. Certain areas retain fat disproportionately, regardless of weight loss elsewhere. Not a weight problem, a composition problem.

§ 01 · How we think about it

The how.

Deoxycholic acid (Kybella-class) injections destroy fat cells in a targeted area, permanent, but requires 2–4 sessions and significant swelling recovery. Best for small, specific pockets, not broader body contouring.

Typical plan

2–4 sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart per area. Significant swelling for 7–14 days after each session. Real contour change visible at 6–8 weeks as destroyed fat clears.

15–25 percent fat reduction per session per area. Submental (double chin) typically needs 2–3 sessions, bra fat 3–4. Real contour change visible at 6–8 weeks as destroyed fat clears. Each session has 7–14 days of significant swelling, plan around events.

No. It treats inches in specific pockets, not pounds. We recommend being within 10–15 lb of your goal weight before starting.
Significant, especially under the chin. Day 2–4 is peak. Plan for 3–5 days of low-visibility and budget around major events.
Treated fat cells are gone, yes, permanent. Remaining fat cells can still grow with weight gain, so stable weight keeps the result.
