Enhance your jawline with Kybella. It minimizes the stubborn “double chin” and reveals a more youthful and contoured face.
- FDA-sanctioned for the treatment of submental fat.
- Long-term outcomes.
- Uses a natural compound to break down fat and eliminate it permanently.
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved treatment to contour submental fullness beneath the chin. This condition can be caused by factors like genetics and aging, not just being overweight. The ASDS conducted a study in 2015 and found that 67% of people were concerned about chin fat.
Kybella is a minimally invasive method to treat severe chin fullness. It uses synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule responsible for breaking down fat. Injected into the fatty tissue under the chin, Kybella effectively destroys fat cells, reducing fullness.

Typically, patients undergo 2-4 procedures to achieve their desired results. A single treatment may involve injecting up to 10 mL, but the dosage depends on the patient’s distribution of submental fat and their objectives. Kybella injections are spaced out every 4-8 weeks.
Generally, this treatment takes approximately 15-20 minutes. Potential side effects include swelling, bruising, numbness, redness, and some firmness in the treated area.
Many patients notice a marked difference after just one treatment. Kybella achieves lasting results by permanently eradicating fat cells during the procedure, as long as the patient maintains a healthy weight.
Many people mistakenly believe that a double chin is only an issue for those who are overweight and can be resolved through standard weight loss methods. However, it can develop even if you’re in good shape and maintain a healthy weight. Kybella is designed to address a stubborn “double chin” that remains unaffected by exercise, dieting, or standard fat-loss techniques.
What is Kybella?
Kybella, approved by the FDA, utilizes deoxycholic acid to reduce submental fat, often called the “double chin.” This acid is naturally found in our digestive system, facilitating the breakdown and absorption of fats to ease digestion. Kybella stands out for its shorter recovery time compared to surgical procedures and reduced risks, as it harnesses a naturally occurring substance within our bodies.
How does Kybella work?
Kybella, when injected below the chin, breaks down fat cells. The remains of these cells are then metabolized and naturally removed from the body over a few weeks. By preventing the treated fat cells from storing fat, Kybella guarantees permanent results.
*Yet, in the case of a significant weight gain, you may observe some fat returning to the chin area.
Are there side effects?
Piercing the skin barrier can result in bruising, although it’s not a frequent occurrence. Swelling and tenderness are normal immediately following treatment. The most notable swelling occurs during the initial days after treatment, signifying the efficacy of Kybella. This swelling occurs as fat cell membranes break apart, releasing fragments for elimination from the body. Swelling may subside within a few days to a few weeks.
What Should You Expect During Your Appointment In Atlanta?
Initially, a topical numbing cream is applied and left for about 30 minutes to ensure complete effectiveness. Once the area is numb, your provider in Atlanta will proceed to administer multiple small Kybella injections (typically around 20-50) beneath the chin. This injection process typically lasts around 10-15 minutes, ensuring that the entire appointment is no longer than an hour. As a result, Kybella is often described as a “lunchtime procedure,” allowing clients to resume their normal activities immediately after treatment.
Is one treatment enough to fully get rid of my double chin?
While a few clients may find satisfaction after a single treatment, it’s generally advisable to undergo a minimum of three sessions to fully realize aesthetic objectives. The number of treatments required varies depending on the individual, and providers in Atlanta can offer guidance on the ideal quantity. Up to six Kybella injections may be administered, spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart.
