Everis Aesthetic Medicine
You tilt your head up before every video call. The fullness under your chin does not match your weight, your workouts, or the rest of your face — and no amount of either has changed it.
Everis Aesthetic Medicine offers Kybella, the only FDA-approved injectable that permanently destroys fat cells beneath the chin. Our experienced injectors in Milpitas, working under ABAM-certified physician supervision, use Kybella to improve chin and jawline definition without surgery.
Kybella is an injectable treatment for submental fullness, the pocket of fat that sits beneath the chin and softens the jawline. Its active ingredient is synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body already produces to break down dietary fat.
Injected directly into the submental fat pad, deoxycholic acid disrupts the membrane of fat cells so the body clears them through its natural metabolic process. Kybella is the only injectable the FDA has approved for this purpose.
Your provider maps a grid across the submental area and places a series of small injections into the fat layer beneath the skin. Each session takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Once the treated fat cells are destroyed, they no longer store or accumulate fat. Provided your weight stays stable, the improvement is permanent and does not require ongoing maintenance injections.
Swelling under the chin is expected after treatment and is a sign the product is working. Most of it resolves over one to two weeks.
Kybella suits patients who are bothered by submental fullness that has not responded to diet or exercise, and who want to avoid the downtime of surgical liposuction.
The best candidates have good skin elasticity in the neck, since Kybella reduces fat but does not tighten skin. Patients with significant laxity may see better results from a skin-tightening treatment such as SkinTyte, either instead of or alongside Kybella.
Our physicians at Everis Aesthetic Medicine assess the fat pad, your skin quality, and your goals before recommending a treatment plan.
Kybella does not shrink fat cells. It destroys them. Once the treated cells are cleared by the body, they cannot store fat again.
Patients who maintain a stable weight keep their result without returning for maintenance injections.
Submental liposuction requires incisions, anesthesia, and a compression garment. Kybella requires neither anesthesia nor incisions.
Treatment at our Milpitas clinic takes under half an hour, and patients drive themselves home.
Reducing the submental fat pad restores the angle between the chin and the neck. The jawline reads as sharper in photographs and on camera.
This is often the change patients notice first, before they notice the fullness itself is gone.
Deoxycholic acid must be placed within the fat layer and away from the marginal mandibular nerve. Correct depth and grid placement are what separate a good result from a complication.
Every Kybella treatment at Everis Aesthetic Medicine is planned and supervised by an ABAM-certified physician.
Your physician examines the submental area to confirm the fullness is fat rather than loose skin or an enlarged salivary gland. Skin elasticity, muscle tone, and your medical history all factor into whether Kybella is the right treatment.
If skin laxity is the dominant concern, we will tell you so and recommend a different approach.
A temporary grid is marked across the treatment area so each injection lands at a planned point and depth. The map keeps the product inside the fat compartment and away from surrounding nerves and muscle.
The number of injections depends on the size of the fat pad and is set at this stage.
Topical numbing and ice are applied before treatment. The injections themselves take approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Stinging and warmth during and shortly after the session are normal. Expect noticeable swelling under the chin for several days, with most of it settling over one to two weeks.
Most patients need two to four sessions spaced at least one month apart, and some need up to six. Your physician reviews progress before each additional session and stops the series once you reach your goal.

Every Kybella treatment at Everis Aesthetic Medicine is performed by a trained medical injector under the supervision of an ABAM-certified physician. The American Board of Aesthetic Medicine certification requires documented training in facial and neck anatomy, injection technique, and complication management.
Submental anatomy is unforgiving. Deoxycholic acid placed too superficially can affect the skin, and product placed too far laterally can reach the marginal mandibular nerve. Our providers follow a mapped grid and a fixed injection depth on every patient for exactly this reason.
Patients who complete a Kybella series at Everis Aesthetic Medicine most often say their jawline looks defined again in photographs, and that they stopped adjusting the camera angle on video calls.
Our team sets expectations for the swelling phase up front, so patients know what the first two weeks after each session will look like before they begin.
I had such a great experience at Everis Aesthetic Medicine Spa! From the moment I walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming, kind, and professional. I absolutely loved my results. Everything was explained thoroughly, and I felt like I was in very knowledgeable, skilled hands the entire time. The treatment itself was quick and smooth, and the outcome looks so natural, exactly what I was hoping for.
Had a great experience at Everis! The staff there were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Dr. Ku performed my hydrofacial and did an amazing job. It is reassuring to know the owners are medical doctors that have over a decade of experience.
Visited this new medical spa the other day and had a great experience! The office is professional, modern, and has a really welcoming atmosphere. Linda PA-C did my HydraFacial and was so personable and easy to talk to. She took the time to understand my skin concerns and customized the treatment to what I needed.
I just visited this new Med Spa located in Milpitas. The space is clean, spacious and welcoming! I got a hydrafacial and the whole process was relaxing from start to finish. They will be adding more services soon like Botox, IV treatment, lasers and more. Excited to come back soon!
Most patients need two to four sessions spaced at least one month apart. Some need up to six, depending on the size of the fat pad and the result you want. Your physician at Everis Aesthetic Medicine reviews your progress before each session and stops the series once you have reached your goal.
Yes. Kybella destroys the treated fat cells, and destroyed fat cells do not regenerate. As long as your weight stays stable, the improvement lasts without maintenance injections.
There are no incisions and no anesthesia, so you can return to work the same day. However, swelling under the chin is expected and can be pronounced for the first several days. Most patients plan their first session before a quieter week.
Patients describe stinging and a burning warmth during the injections and for a short period afterward. We apply topical numbing and ice before treatment, which most patients find makes the session comfortable.
Kybella is FDA-approved specifically for submental fullness beneath the chin. Your physician at Everis Aesthetic Medicine will discuss whether any other application is appropriate for you and will explain when a use is off-label.
No. Kybella reduces fat but does not tighten skin. If loose skin is part of your concern, our physicians may recommend SkinTyte for collagen tightening, either as an alternative or in combination with Kybella.
