Our highly trained injectors in Buckhead specialize in combining Kybella with other advanced body sculpting treatments for natural, lasting results.

Why You’ll Love Kybella

Even the most disciplined gym routine isn't always able to sculpt stubborn areas, and perhaps no area of unwanted fat is more stubborn than the chin. At Slim Studio in Atlanta Kybella melts that fat away in a series of injections that permanently break down the fat cells beneath the jaw. Like the best transformations in nature, week by week following your treatment, your sculpted profile and jawline will reveal themselves.

What is Kybella?

Kybella is the first and only cosmetic injection for double chin reduction. Known as submental fat, it treats resistant fat that accumulates beneath your chin. Kybella contains deoxycholic acid, a biologically active ingredient that is similar to a chemical your liver excretes to break down fat.

When it is injected into your chin, it destroys fat cells by breaking down their cellular membrane over a period of 12 weeks. As the fat cells die, your body eliminates them through a natural excretion process. Kybella leaves your chin noticeably slimmer and defined in one to six treatments.

What Aesthetic Issues Does Kybella Treat?

Kybella is made to target stubborn fat under the chin, often called a double chin. This area can be frustrating because it usually doesn’t respond to diet or exercise, and sometimes it’s just genetics. Kybella works by breaking down those fat cells so your body can flush them out naturally. It’s a solid option for anyone looking to tighten up that area without surgery.

What Areas Can Be Treated With Kybella?

Most people know Kybella for the under-chin area, and that’s where it really shines. It’s FDA-approved to treat submental fullness, which is the fat that sits right below your chin and can blur the jawline. While it has been used off-label for other small pockets of fat on the body, like the bra line or jaw corners, we focus on its most effective and safest use, refining the chin and jawline.

What are the benefits of Kybella?

As the only FDA-approved non-surgical treatment for submental fat, Kybella has met all expectations for safety and efficacy.

It is proven to work and dramatically improves your chin profile without the need for surgery, scarring, or downtime. The procedure is quick, minimally painful, and provides outstanding results—all for a fraction of the price of invasive procedures like chin liposuction.

Kybella vs. Chin Lipo

If you’re weighing your options between Kybella and chin liposuction, it really comes down to what kind of results you’re after and how you feel about downtime.

Chin Lipo

Chin liposuction is a surgical treatment that removes fat in one session using a small tube. It’s quick and you’ll see results fast, but it does come with more recovery. You’ll need to wear a compression garment for a bit and give yourself time to heal. It’s a better fit for people with a larger amount of fat to remove or those who want more dramatic changes right away.

Kybella

Kybella is an injectable treatment with no surgery and very little downtime. Instead of removing fat all at once, it works gradually over a few sessions to shrink the area. It’s ideal if you’ve got a mild to moderate amount of fullness under the chin and prefer something less invasive. You might have some swelling or tenderness for a few days, but it’s manageable, and most people go right back to their routines.

Combination Treatments With Kybella

Kybella works really well on its own, but pairing it with other treatments can take your results to the next level. At Slim Studio, we often combine Kybella with other services to create a more sculpted, balanced look.

CoolSculpting

If there’s additional fullness around the jawline or upper neck, CoolSculpting can help target those areas. It freezes stubborn fat cells so your body can naturally eliminate them. It’s a great complement to Kybella, especially if you're looking for more contour beyond just the chin..

EmSculpt

EmSculpt helps tone underlying muscles, which can subtly lift and support the lower face and neck. It’s especially helpful if you’re working on your body as well and want an overall slimmer, more defined appearance.

Neuromodulators (like Botox or Dysport)

A little Botox in the neck or masseter muscles can help enhance facial structure and define the jawline. When combined with fat reduction from Kybella, this can sharpen your profile even more.

Dermal Fillers

Once fat is reduced under the chin, dermal fillers can be used to add volume or structure where needed, especially in the jawline, chin, or cheeks. This helps create clean, natural angles and smooth transitions across the face.

Morpheus8

After Kybella has done its job with fat, Morpheus8 steps in to tighten the skin. It combines microneedling with radiofrequency to boost collagen and give the treated area a firmer, more lifted look.

Who is a candidate for Kybella?

At Slim Studio Atlanta, we will be honest with you about whether Kybella is in your best interest. Most people who have double chin fat can undergo treatment the same day as their consultation.

There are some instances when Kybella is not appropriate. If your chin appears bulky due to excess skin rather than fat, Kybella may not be right for you. It only reduces fat; It does not make lax skin tighter. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not have Kybella.

Preparation for Treatment

Before you come in for Kybella, we’ll talk through your goals and look at the area to make sure you’re a good fit for treatment. During your consultation, your injector will go over how many sessions you might need and what to expect afterward. We’ll also ask about your medical history and any medications you’re taking.

In the days before your appointment, it’s a good idea to skip alcohol and avoid blood-thinning meds or supplements to help reduce bruising. Most people can go right back to their normal routine, but you may want to plan for a little downtime after your session since swelling is common for the first couple of days.

Kybella Procedure

In the hands of our highly skilled injectors, Kybella is fast and virtually painless. You will feel a few quick pinches. We also offer ice or numbing cream for enhanced comfort during your treatment. The injection process takes 15 to 30 minutes on average.

Kybella Recovery

Kybella has zero downtime. You can get back to work, errands, and shopping right away. Side effects are minimal and may include tenderness, redness, swelling, or small bruises at the injection site.

Most of these effects resolve in a few minutes to hours, although bruising can persist for up to two weeks. You can wear makeup the next day. At Slim Studio Atlanta, we ensure an unhurried experience. If you’d like to relax in our serene waiting area while the initial effects subside, you are welcome to do so.

Kybella Results

Please allow up to 12 weeks to see your full results. While a single Kybella treatment can make your chin slimmer, you may need up to six visits to achieve your desired outcome.

The treated fat won’t come back. However, you will need to commit to a healthy lifestyle to prevent other fat cells from growing in size over time.

How Much Does Kybella Cost?

Pricing for Kybella depends on your starting point and how much fat we’re treating. Most people need more than one session, usually between two to four, spaced about a month apart. We’ll give you a custom quote during your consultation based on how many sessions you’re likely to need and whether you’re combining Kybella with any other treatments.

Your price will include everything: your injections, any necessary numbing, your injector’s time and expertise, and post-care support. We’ll go over the total cost ahead of time so there are no surprises.

Clinical trials show that nearly 85 percent of participants who tried Kybella had a statistical improvement in chin fat after a series of six treatments.

You may need up to six Kybella treatments for best results. At Slim Studio, we encourage all our patients to Treat to Complete. While it might be tempting to just do a treatment or two, we’ve seen enough to know that investing in a full round of treatments more than pays for itself in the final results.

Kybella is very effective at reducing small to moderate fat under the chin. Most patients see noticeable improvement after just a couple of sessions, with full results appearing a few months after the final treatment.

If you want a more defined chin and jawline without surgery, Kybella is a great investment. The results are long-term, and for many people, it’s a more comfortable and affordable option than liposuction.

Yes. Once the fat cells are destroyed, they’re gone for good. Just keep in mind that if you gain weight, new fat can develop in the area, but the cells treated by Kybella won’t come back.

There’s no perfect age, but most people consider Kybella in their late 20s through their 50s. What matters more than age is whether you have good skin elasticity and a small to moderate amount of fat under your chin.

It’s easy to get started on your face and body sculpting journey. Your first step is to schedule a complimentary consultation at Slim Studio. You will find our staff warm, friendly, and eager to help you attain your face and body sculpting goals.
