Welcome a beautifully defined jawline. Kybella reduces the look of a stubborn “double chin,” giving your face a more sculpted, youthful appearance.
- Approved by the FDA for treating submental fat.
- Lasting results.
- Utilizes a natural molecule to dissolve fat and remove it permanently.
Kybella is the first and only FDA-approved treatment for reducing submental fullness under the chin. You don’t have to be overweight to develop it, as genetics and aging can also contribute to excess fat in this area. A 2015 study by the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS) found that 67% of people were significantly concerned about the fat under their chin.
Kybella is a minimally invasive treatment for severe fullness under the chin. It uses synthetic deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring molecule in the body that breaks down fat. When injected into the fatty tissue beneath the chin, Kybella destroys fat cells, visibly reducing fullness.

Patients usually need 2-4 sessions to achieve the best outcome. A single treatment may involve injecting up to 10 mL, but the dosage varies based on the patient’s chin fat distribution and objectives. Kybella injections can be administered every 4-8 weeks.
Typically, this process lasts for 15-20 minutes. Potential side effects may include swelling, bruising, numbness, redness, and some firmness in the treated area.
Many patients observe noticeable enhancement after just one session. Kybella’s effects endure because the treatment permanently eliminates fat cells, which do not regenerate as long as the patient maintains a healthy weight.
While you might assume that a double chin only impacts those who are overweight and can be addressed with traditional weight loss techniques, it can develop even if you’re in good physical condition and maintain a healthy weight. Kybella is effective in eliminating a “double chin” that persists despite exercise, dieting, or traditional fat-loss techniques.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an FDA-approved treatment containing deoxycholic acid, aimed at reducing submental fat, also known as the “double chin.” Deoxycholic acid is naturally produced in our digestive system and aids in the breakdown and absorption of fats, making them easier to digest. Compared to surgical procedures, Kybella boasts a shorter recovery period and fewer risks, as it utilizes a substance already present in our bodies.
How does Kybella work?
Kybella, when injected under the chin, dissolves fat cells. The remnants of these cells are then metabolized and naturally eliminated from the body over several weeks. Once eliminated, the treated fat cells are unable to store fat, ensuring that Kybella’s effects are lasting.
*In the event of a substantial weight gain, there is a possibility that some fat may reappear in the chin area.
Are there side effects?
Whenever the skin’s surface is punctured, there’s a risk of bruising, although it’s not a frequent occurrence. It’s typical to experience swelling and tenderness right after treatment. The most significant swelling typically occurs in the initial days following treatment, indicating Kybella’s effectiveness. This swelling is a natural bodily response as fat cell membranes break down, releasing fragments to be eliminated from the body. Swelling can diminish within a few days to a few weeks.
What Should You Expect During Your Appointment In Roswell?
Initially, we administer a topical numbing cream, allowing around 30 minutes for it to fully take effect. Once the area is numb, your provider in Roswell will administer a series of small Kybella injections (usually between 20-50) beneath your chin. The injection procedure lasts approximately 10-15 minutes, rendering the entire appointment no longer than an hour. Hence, Kybella is commonly known as a “lunchtime procedure,” as clients can resume their regular activities immediately after treatment.
Is one treatment enough to fully get rid of my double chin?
While some clients may be satisfied after a single session, it’s typically advised to undergo at least three treatments to fully attain aesthetic objectives. The number of treatments needed varies from client to client, and providers in Roswell can offer guidance on the required amount. Up to six Kybella injections may be administered, with treatments spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart.
