What Is Kybella?
A double chin (submental fullness) can be caused by genetics, aging, or weight changes. For many people, no amount of diet or exercise makes it go away.
Kybella is a prescription injection that targets and breaks down unwanted fat under the chin. It contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, which your body uses to digest fat. Once injected into the submental area, Kybella gradually destroys fat cells, which are then flushed out through the body’s natural processes. Treated fat cells don’t return, making the results long-lasting once your series is complete.
Am I a Candidate for Kybella?
You may be a good candidate for Kybella if:
- You have moderate to significant fat under your chin
- You are bothered by the appearance of a double chin on video or in photos
- You want a non-surgical alternative to neck or chin liposuction
- You’re in good health and not pregnant or nursing
- You’re willing to complete a series of sessions for best results
Kybella is not ideal for patients with loose or sagging skin in the neck. A neck lift or skin tightening treatment may be more appropriate in those cases.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your Kybella experience starts with a consultation at our Johns Creek office. One of our licensed injectors will assess your concerns, evaluate your chin and neck area, and customize your treatment plan.
Each Kybella session typically lasts 20-30 minutes. Small injections are placed beneath the chin in a precise grid pattern during treatment. You may feel mild warmth or pressure as the medication begins working.
Most patients need two to four sessions spaced about a month apart. Depending on the amount of fat present and the desired contour, some may require up to six sessions.
Recovery & Aftercare
There’s no required downtime after Kybella, but swelling is common and can last several days to a week after each session. Other temporary side effects may include:
- Redness or bruising
- Mild discomfort or tenderness
- Numbness or firmness in the treatment area
Most patients return to work or daily routines within a few days. Applying ice packs and sleeping with your head elevated can help reduce swelling.

How Much Does Kybella Cost in Johns Creek?

Kybella FAQs
Is Kybella a weight‑loss treatment?
No. Kybella targets only the fat under the chin, not overall body weight. It’s a cosmetic procedure meant to improve your profile, not a method for general weight loss.
Could Kybella affect future face or neck surgeries?
In rare instances, Kybella can create scar tissue that may complicate future surgeries like facelifts. Your injector will assess your long-term aesthetic goals and advise if Kybella remains the best choice for your treatment journey.
How common is submental fullness (a “double chin”)?
It’s surprisingly frequent; surveys show about one in four adults are bothered by fat beneath the chin. That makes Kybella a relevant solution for many who want to refine their profile without surgery.
How painful is Kybella treatment?
Most patients describe Kybella injections as tolerable, with a quick stinging or burning sensation that fades within minutes. We use numbing options to maximize comfort during the procedure.
How soon will I see results?
Results are gradual. Most people begin to see visible changes four to six weeks after their second session. Full results typically develop after all recommended treatments are completed.
