How To Treat Stubborn Neck Fat Without Surgery

There’s a strange kind of spotlight our minds tend to shine—narrow and persistent. It lands on that one area, the spot that doesn’t seem to budge, no matter how much effort we’ve poured in. Maybe it’s a curve that lingers, a softness that resists change, like neck fat that quietly overstays its welcome. And while the rest of us evolve, that place stays exactly where it is. It’s easy to fixate. To let our attention settle there and forget the hundreds of ways our bodies have shifted—how our energy has lifted, how movement feels lighter, how our habits have grown sturdier. But transformation doesn’t always unfold evenly. Some chapters take longer to write.

At the Aesthetic Associates Centre, we understand how frustrating these stubborn areas can be. Fortunately, we offer non-surgical solutions designed to help you address them gently, effectively, and without downtime.

Treating Neck Fat With Kybella®

Neck fat, also known as submental fullness, can create the appearance of a softer or less defined jawline. This area beneath the chin often draws attention in photos or mirrors, and it can be difficult to ignore once it catches your eye. While many people assume it’s tied solely to body changes, submental fat can also develop due to genetics, the natural aging process, and even posture habits over time. Regardless of the cause, it can be frustrating when this small pocket of fat doesn’t respond to lifestyle changes or self-care routines.

At the Aesthetic Associates Centre, we understand how discouraging this can feel. We offer non-surgical options to target and reduce submental fullness in a precise and lasting way. One of the most effective tools we use is Kybella®, a clinically proven injectable treatment.

How Kybella® Works

Kybella® is the only FDA-approved injectable formulated to target and reduce fat beneath the chin. It contains deoxycholic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps break down fat during digestion. When we inject Kybella into the area beneath your chin, it begins to break down the fat cells in that targeted space. This process causes the cells to rupture, which prevents them from storing fat in the future.

Your body then naturally processes and eliminates the damaged cells over the following weeks. As a result, the contour beneath your chin gradually becomes more defined. Most patients receive a series of treatments, spaced several weeks apart. We tailor each plan to your unique needs and desired outcome.

What makes Kybella especially appealing is that the results are long-lasting. Once those fat cells are gone, they do not come back. As long as other changes don’t affect the area, the improvement remains visible and stable.

What To Expect From Kybella Treatment

When you come in for Kybella treatment, the process is straightforward but carefully planned. Each session takes about 15 to 20 minutes. We begin by placing a series of small injections under your chin, targeting the fat that contributes to fullness in that area. The pattern and number of injections are carefully planned according to the structure of your chin and neck. Each placement is intentional, designed to ensure even coverage and consistent, effective results.

These treatments aren’t done all at once for a reason. Kybella breaks down fat cells, and your body needs time to clear them out. That’s why sessions are spaced about a month apart. This schedule allows your system time to do its job gradually, so the changes appear smooth and natural—not sudden or forced.

Another benefit of this timeline is flexibility. After each visit, we assess how your body is responding to the treatment. Some people see changes early, others take a bit longer. We adjust the number of sessions based on what we see and what you’re aiming for. That way, you’re not getting more than you need, or less than what will get the job done.

Each treatment builds on the last. It’s a bit like layering coats of paint for a clean, even finish. As the weeks go by, you’ll start noticing a difference, usually after the second or third session, with the area under your chin looking more refined and better defined.
