What Kybella (Belkyra) costs per session and per full course in Toronto, what changes your price, and how to tell if it is worth it for you.

The bottom line
  • Kybella and Belkyra are the same deoxycholic acid injection; Kybella is the US name and Belkyra is the name used in Canada.
  • Your Kybella cost depends mostly on how many vials you need at each session and how many sessions it takes.
  • Most people need 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, and each session's change shows over the following weeks.
  • Treated fat cells do not come back, but Kybella does not tighten loose skin, so Dr. Xu checks your skin and chin shape first.
  • Your first 30-minute consultation at our Markham clinic is free, and you get a clear quote before any treatment.

How much does Kybella cost in Toronto?

Kybella costs about CAD $800–2,200 per session in Toronto. Kybella is the US name of Belkyra, so this is the Belkyra price you will see at clinics here. Your exact price depends on how many vials (small bottles of the drug) your chin needs.

If you are comparing Kybella in Toronto, look at the price per session and the number of sessions together. Most sessions use 2 vials, and most people need 2 to 4 sessions. Later sessions often need fewer vials, because there is less fat left to treat.

Double chin fat dissolving injections cost the same at our clinic, because they use the same drug. Searching for the Canadian name instead? Our Belkyra cost guide covers the same treatment. To see how Dr. Dan Xu and our team plan each case, visit our page on Belkyra double chin injections.

Is Kybella the same as Belkyra?

Yes. Kybella and Belkyra are the same drug, deoxycholic acid, made by the same company (Allergan). Kybella is the name used in the United States, and Belkyra is the name used in Canada.

So if you look for Kybella here, doctors and clinics will offer you Belkyra. The deoxycholic acid injection price you see in Canada is the Belkyra price. Belkyra is a Health Canada-licensed injectable treatment containing deoxycholic acid, used to reduce fat under the chin without surgery.

How Kybella works

Deoxycholic acid is a substance your body already makes to help digest fat. When it is injected into the fat under your chin, it breaks the walls of the fat cells. Over the next few weeks, your body clears the broken cells away.

Treated fat cells do not grow back, and that lasting change is what you pay for. You can read more about the drug, the areas it treats and the full process on our Belkyra treatment page.

What changes the Kybella price?

The Kybella price changes with how much fat you have, how many sessions you need and who does the treatment. Kybella injections cost more when your chin needs more vials or more visits.

1. The number of vials

Each vial holds 2 mL of the drug. Most sessions use 2 vials, while a fuller area may need 3 or 4. Dr. Xu checks the fat with a simple pinch test and maps the area before deciding how much you need.

2. The number of sessions

There is a safe limit on how much can be used in one visit. A larger area is therefore treated over more sessions, not all at once. More sessions mean a higher total cost.

3. Who does the injection

Kybella is a prescription medicine. It must go into the right layer of fat and stay away from a small nerve near the jawline. A clinic led by a medical doctor may charge more, but you pay for a careful exam, safe mapping and quick help if something feels wrong.

4. The area treated

Most quotes are for the area under the chin. Small fat pockets along the jawline or jowls are priced on their own, based on the vials they need.

5. Packages and timing

Some clinics give a lower price when you book a full course. Ask about package pricing at your consultation, and get your quote in writing.

This table shows how the fat under your chin usually affects your plan and your price.

How much is Kybella for a double chin, start to finish?

For most people, a full course of Kybella for a double chin costs CAD $1,600–4,800. That usually covers 2 to 4 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Prices are for reference only and reflect general Toronto pricing. Please contact us for your exact price.

How many sessions you need

Some people with a small fat pocket are happy after 2 sessions. A fuller chin often needs 3 or 4, and a few people need more. Dr. Xu gives you an estimate at your first visit and checks it again before each session.

You can stop at any point and keep the change you already have. Many people plan 2 sessions first, then decide on more once they see the result.

When you will see results

Kybella results build slowly. Each session’s change shows about 4 to 6 weeks later, once the swelling is gone and your body has cleared the treated fat. That is why we wait between sessions.

To judge your before and after, compare photos taken about 6 weeks after a session, not after 2 weeks. A full course often takes 3 to 6 months, so plan ahead if you have a wedding, trip or photos coming up.

What happens at a Kybella appointment?

A Kybella visit is short: the injections themselves take about 15 to 20 minutes. Most of the visit is checking, mapping and aftercare advice.

  1. Consultation. Dr. Xu looks at your chin from the front and side, does a pinch test and asks about your health and medicines. Your first 30-minute consultation is free.
  2. Mapping. We clean the skin and mark a small grid under your chin. This spreads the drug evenly and keeps it away from the jawline nerve.
  3. Numbing. Ice or numbing cream keeps you comfortable.
  4. Injections. Many tiny injections go into the fat, about 1 cm apart. You may feel warmth or stinging for a few minutes.
  5. Aftercare. We apply a cold pack, and you can go back to your normal day.

Kybella side effects and recovery

Swelling under the chin is the most common side effect, and it is normal. It shows the drug is working. Most people also have some tenderness, numbness, bruising or a firm feeling in the area.

Recovery timeline

For the first 24 hours, avoid hard exercise and pressing on the area. Sleeping with your head a little raised on the first night can help the swelling go down.

Less common risks, and how we keep them low

A few side effects are less common. A small nerve near the jawline can be irritated, which may make your smile look uneven for a while. Some people have mild trouble swallowing for a short time. Rarely, the skin over the area can be injured, or hair in the area can thin.

These risks stay low when the drug goes into the right layer and the right place. Dr. Dan Xu and our team map the area, stay below the jawline edge and use the correct depth. Because Dr. Xu is a medical doctor, your consultation also checks your swallowing, neck history and medicines before any treatment.

For a day-by-day guide, read our article on Belkyra side effects and recovery.

Who is a good candidate for Kybella?

You are a good candidate if you have mild to moderate fat under your chin that you can pinch, and your skin is still fairly firm. It suits adults near a stable weight who want a change without surgery.

A double chin can come from your genes, weight gain or aging, so even slim people can have one. Kybella treats the fat part of the problem.

Kybella may not suit you if

Not all fullness under the chin is fat. A swollen gland, a thyroid problem or a strong neck muscle can look like a double chin. Because Dr. Xu is a medical doctor, your consultation also checks for these causes before you spend money on treatment.

Asian faces and chin shape

In many Asian faces, a short or set-back chin makes the area under it look fuller than the fat really is. Kybella alone may then give less change than you hope. Dr. Xu may suggest jawline filler, alone or with Kybella, to balance your profile.

Is Kybella worth the cost?

Kybella is worth the cost for most people with a small to moderate pocket of true fat under the chin. It removes fat cells for good, with no cuts and only short downtime. It is not good value if your main problem is loose skin, a large jaw muscle or a short chin, because it does not treat those.

The table below compares Kybella with other double chin options. Our clinic does not offer CoolSculpting and does not perform surgery; these options are listed so you can compare.

OptionHow it worksDowntimeTypical cost in Toronto
Kybella (Belkyra)Injections destroy fat cellsSwelling for 1 to 2 weeks after each sessionCAD $1,600–4,800 for a full course
Chin liposuction (surgery; we do not perform surgery)Surgery removes fat through a small cutAbout 1 to 2 weeks, often with a chin strapAbout CAD $3,500–6,000 for one surgery
CoolSculpting for the chin (we do not offer it)Cooling freezes fat cellsLittle; numbness can last weeksPriced per treatment cycle
Skin tightening (Thermage, Sofwave)Heat firms loose skinLittle or noneTreats loose skin, not fat
Botox for the jaw muscleRelaxes a large chewing muscleNoneTreats a wide jaw, not fat

Prices are for reference only and reflect general Toronto pricing. Please contact us for your exact price.

Liposuction can remove more fat in one visit, but it is surgery. Kybella suits people who want a smaller change without cuts. If your skin is already loose, Dr. Xu may suggest Thermage skin tightening before or with Kybella. If your lower face looks wide because of the chewing muscle, Botox for face slimming is the better fit. To learn how fat freezing compares, read our CoolSculpting Toronto guide.

Does insurance cover Kybella? Payment and hidden costs

No. Kybella is a cosmetic treatment, so OHIP does not cover it, and most private health plans do not either. Cosmetic treatments also do not usually count as a medical expense on your tax return.

At our Markham clinic, you can pay by Visa, Mastercard, Amex, debit or e-transfer. Monthly payments through Affirm are available on select treatment packages, and our team can tell you if your plan qualifies.

Hidden costs to ask about

The biggest hidden cost is an extra session you did not plan for. Ask for a written quote that lists the vials per session, the number of sessions expected and the cost of any follow-up visits. At our clinic, Dr. Xu explains your full plan and price before you pay for any treatment.

How to choose a Kybella provider

Choose a provider who examines your chin first, tells you how many vials and sessions you need, and has a medical doctor in charge. A low price is only good value if the product is real and the injections are placed safely.

Ask these questions before you book:

  1. Who will do my injections, and is a medical doctor in charge of my plan?
  2. Is this genuine Belkyra, and can I see the sealed vial?
  3. How many vials and sessions do you expect for my chin?
  4. What is included in the price, and can I have the quote in writing?
  5. What happens if I have a side effect, and how do I reach you?
  6. Can I see before and after photos of chins like mine?

Be careful with a very low price per session that does not say how many vials it includes. At ID Cosmetic Clinic, Dr. Dan Xu and our team perform every Belkyra treatment, and Dr. Xu plans each one. We speak English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Is Kybella right for you?

Kybella is a good choice if you have a small to moderate double chin made of fat, fairly firm skin, and you prefer no surgery. Expect 2 to 4 sessions over a few months, with some swelling after each one.

If you are not sure whether your fullness is fat, loose skin or chin shape, read about double chin causes and treatment options. Your exact plan and price come from a free consultation with Dr. Xu at our Markham clinic.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Kybella available in Canada?

Yes. In Canada, Kybella is sold as Belkyra, and it is the same deoxycholic acid made by the same company. Doctors and medical clinics across Canada offer it, including Dr. Dan Xu and our team at our Markham clinic.

How much does one vial of Kybella cost?

Clinics price Kybella by the vial, but the session price matters more, because most sessions use about 2 vials. Dr. Xu checks how many vials your chin needs at your free consultation, then gives you your exact price. When you compare quotes, always check how many vials a session includes.

Does Kybella really work?

Yes, Kybella works well on true fat under the chin. Most people see a clear change after 2 to 4 sessions. It does not treat loose skin, a strong neck muscle or a short chin, which is why Dr. Xu checks the cause of your fullness first.

Is Kybella permanent?

Yes, the fat cells Kybella destroys do not come back. The fat cells that remain can still grow if you gain a lot of weight, so a stable weight protects your result. Most people do not need top-up sessions.

Does Kybella hurt?

Most people feel burning or stinging for a few minutes after the injections. Ice or numbing cream makes it easier, and the feeling fades quickly. The area may then feel tender or numb for a few days to a few weeks.

Can Kybella be used on jowls, the neck or the belly?

Belkyra's licensed use is fat under the chin. Dr. Xu also treats small fat pockets along the jawline with our Belkyra side face treatment, after a careful check. For small body areas, ask about our fat dissolving injections. Kybella does not fix a loose "turkey neck" or large areas such as the whole belly.

Does Kybella cause loose skin?

Kybella does not loosen skin by itself, and the skin often firms a little as the area heals. But if your skin was already loose, removing the fat under it can make that looseness easier to see. Dr. Xu checks your skin first and may suggest skin tightening with or before Kybella.

Can I combine Kybella with Botox or filler?

Yes. Many people combine Kybella with chin or jawline filler for a sharper profile, or with Botox to slim a wide jaw. Dr. Xu plans the order and timing, so swelling from one treatment does not hide the result of another.

Is Kybella safe for Asian and darker skin tones?

Yes. Kybella works on fat under the skin, not on skin colour, so it suits all skin tones, including Fitzpatrick III to V skin (light brown to brown). For many Asian faces, the bigger question is chin shape, which Dr. Xu checks at your consultation.

Can I buy Kybella online?

No. Kybella and Belkyra are prescription medicines that must be injected by a trained medical team, so they are not sold to the public. Products sold online as Kybella or "fat dissolving" shots may be fake or unsafe. Real Belkyra comes in a sealed vial that your clinic can show you.
