Centrally located in Southampton, PA and serving Philadelphia, Bucks, and Montgomery Counties, The Kole Plastic Surgery Center performs Kybella™ treatment for patients seeking a non-surgical way to eliminate their double chin.
Kybella™ mimics a chemical found naturally in your body known as deoxycholic acid, which is important for helping you absorb fat. This substance works by killing fat cells at the injection site, providing a fast, minimally invasive alternative to liposuction for the treatment of excess fat around the chin.
Prior to its approval by the FDA, Kybella™ underwent two American clinical trials involving over 1,000 participants. Over 80 percent of the Kybella™ recipients reported a noticeable reduction in fat beneath their chin.
According to surveys, roughly eight out of ten people with a double chin feel self-conscious about it. What’s more, this excess of fat in the chin and neck area often responds poorly to diet and exercise, and it tends to become more noticeable with age. Many people who endure a double chin are put off by the invasiveness and downtime associated with liposuction. However, with Kybella™, these individuals have a more appealing option available.
The number of injections needed depends on each patient’s unique case. Dr. Kole believes that between 12 and 20 injections may be needed during an average visit. Most patients are expected to require between two and three visits, each a month apart, to achieve their desired results. In patients who have a severe double chin, as many as 50 injections may be needed, and individual treatments are scheduled only a few weeks apart. The average length of each treatment is around 15 minutes, and most participants in the clinical studies for Kybella™ noticed results after only a few treatments.
Unfortunately, Kybella™ is unlikely to address sagging skin. It’s sole intended function is melting fat. However, some of the clinical study participants did report that they experienced a slight tightening effect.
Currently, Kybella™ is only approved for the removal of excess chin fat. Experts don’t expect that it will be useful for other issues such as arm flab or love handles. There is some evidence that Kybella™ might help address tiny pockets of fat, such as lipomas or under-eye bags, but there are significant safety risks involved. Experts say that more research is needed to determine whether the new drug will be suitable for use in these areas.
No official pricing will be made available until the release of Kybella in June. However, it’s expected that the drug will be priced similarly to existing dermal fillers. Even if pricing were available, the ultimate cost of Kybella™ depends on how much each patient needs and how many treatments. How much treatment will cost for you can only be determined after a consultation with Dr. Kole. Unfortunately, since Kybella™ is considered to be a cosmetic procedure, it’s highly unlikely that health insurance providers will offer coverage.
The Kole Plastic Surgery Center Center accepts cash, check, and credit card (MasterCard®, Visa®, American Express®, Discover®) as acceptable forms of payment.
Financing is also available through CareCredit®, United Medical Credit, and Advanced Care.

Kole Plastic Surgery Center
We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
