Kybella

An injectable that dissolves chin fat.

Dr. Troy Austin, MD, board-certified plastic surgeon in Augusta, GA

Medically supervised by Dr. Troy Austin, MD — double board-certified plastic surgeon ◆ Updated July 2026

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable made of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule your body uses to break down dietary fat. Injected under the chin, it destroys fat cells in the treated area, so submental fullness, the double chin, is reduced. Because those fat cells are gone once destroyed, the area is not expected to store fat there again, and further treatment is usually not needed once you reach your goal. Most people do a short series of sessions spaced about a month apart. At 7 Seas Medical Spa, part of a board-certified plastic surgery practice, your plan is built around your chin, your anatomy, and your goals.

Divya, PA-C Cosmetic Injector
Your provider, backed by a surgeon

An injectable near the jaw belongs in trained hands.

Your Kybella at 7 Seas Medical Spa is performed by Divya, PA-C, a licensed Physician Assistant and cosmetic injector, and the program is supervised by Dr. Troy Austin, who is certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery.

Kybella is a prescription medication placed in a precise pattern near the nerves and structures of the jaw, so mapping the injection points to your anatomy is where training and medical oversight matter. Being part of a plastic surgery practice means honest guidance about what Kybella can and cannot do, and when a procedure such as FaceTite or chin liposuction is the better fit for your goals.

A good Kybella result is about the right plan for your anatomy. The goal is a smoother, more defined chin and jawline that still looks like you. 7 Seas Medical Spa

What it treats

What Kybella treats.

Kybella is FDA-approved to treat submental fullness, the pocket of fat under the chin often called a double chin.

The double chin (submental fat)

This is what Kybella is designed for. A double chin is often genetic and can hold on even when you are at a healthy weight, since diet and exercise do not target where your body stores fat. Kybella reduces that pocket so the area under the chin looks flatter and the jawline more defined.

A softer jawline definition

As submental fullness is reduced, many people see a cleaner line between the chin and neck and a more defined jawline profile.

Is it right for the fat you have?

Kybella works on fat, not loose skin. If your concern is mostly lax skin or a larger amount of fullness, your provider may recommend a skin-tightening or surgical option instead. Kybella is FDA-approved for under the chin; your provider will discuss any other area honestly and only if appropriate for you.

Looking to firm loose skin along the jawline rather than dissolve fat? Ask about Morpheus8 or FaceTite.

Under the chin

Submental fat, the double chin, for a more defined jawline.

Is it right for you?

Am I a candidate?

Good candidates for Kybella are healthy adults bothered by moderate fat under the chin who would rather avoid surgery, and whose skin has reasonable elasticity to retract as the fat is reduced. If you have a large amount of submental fullness, significant loose skin, or you want a single-session result, a procedure such as FaceTite or chin liposuction may serve you better, and your provider will tell you honestly. Kybella is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an infection or trouble swallowing, or with certain medical conditions, all of which your provider reviews with you. The best way to know is a consultation, where Divya, PA-C assesses your chin and neck and recommends a plan.

How it works

What a Kybella treatment is like.

A Kybella session is a series of small injections under the chin, done in the office in about 20 minutes, with numbing for comfort.

Before

Your provider marks a grid of injection points under the chin, matched to where your fat sits and to the anatomy of the area. Ice or a topical numbing cream is used to keep you comfortable.

During

Kybella is injected into the fat in small amounts across the marked points. The visit itself is quick, usually around 15 to 20 minutes, and you go home the same day.

After

Swelling under the chin is expected and is a sign the treatment is working, and some people describe it as a fuller or firmer feeling for a few days. Bruising, tenderness, or numbness in the area can also occur and usually settle over the following days to weeks. Your provider gives you simple aftercare and tells you what to watch for.

Swelling is expected. It is part of how Kybella works, and it settles over the days that follow.

Kybella vs. CoolSculpting vs. surgery

Kybella, CoolSculpting, or surgery for a double chin?

All three can reduce a double chin, but they suit different amounts of fat and different goals. Here is how they compare.

Your provider will help you choose based on your anatomy and goals. For fat with loose skin, ask about FaceTite or chin liposuction at Southeastern Aesthetic Surgery. Kybella is one of several treatments at 7 Seas Medical Spa, part of Southeastern Aesthetic Surgery.

Investment

How much does Kybella cost in Augusta?

Kybella starts at about $1,200 per treatment at 7 Seas Medical Spa. Because most people need a short series of sessions, your total investment depends on how many treatments it takes to reach your goal, which your provider estimates at your consultation after assessing your chin. Package options may be available, and financing can spread the cost.

Results

When will I see Kybella results, and how long do they last?

Results build gradually over the weeks after each session as your body clears the treated fat cells, and because those cells are gone, the improvement is designed to be long-lasting.

Building and keeping your result

  • You will not see the final result overnight. Improvement appears over the weeks following each session, and many people continue through a series to reach their goal.
  • Once the fat cells are destroyed they do not come back, so the area is not expected to store fat there again.
  • Significant weight gain can still change the look of the area over time, so a stable weight and healthy habits help your result last.

Results vary from person to person based on your anatomy, how much fat is present, and how many sessions you complete. Your provider will give you an honest sense of what to expect for your chin.

Gradual and lasting. Fat cells that are gone do not return. Before and after photos coming soon.

Kybella Questions.

What is Kybella and how does it work?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable made of synthetic deoxycholic acid, a molecule the body uses to break down dietary fat. Injected under the chin, it destroys fat cells in the treated area, reducing the fullness of a double chin. Once those cells are destroyed they are not expected to store fat again, so repeat treatment is usually not needed after you reach your goal.

Kybella starts at about $1,200 per treatment at 7 Seas Medical Spa. Because most people need a short series, your total depends on how many sessions it takes to reach your goal. Your provider gives you an exact quote at your consultation, and financing is available.

Most people need about two to four sessions spaced roughly a month apart, though the right number depends on how much fat is present and your goal. Your provider maps out a plan at your consultation.

The fat cells Kybella destroys do not come back, so the treated area is not expected to store fat there again. That said, significant weight gain can still change the look of the area over time, so results are designed to be long-lasting rather than guaranteed forever. A stable weight helps your result last.

Because the treated fat cells are gone, most people enjoy a long-lasting result once they complete their series. Maintaining a stable weight helps keep the area looking its best, since remaining fat cells elsewhere can still enlarge with weight gain.

Results build gradually. You may notice a change in the weeks after each session as your body clears the treated fat, with the fuller result appearing after you complete your series. Because it is gradual, the final look develops over a few months.

Swelling under the chin is expected and is part of how Kybella works. It is often most noticeable for several days after each session, and some people have it longer. Bruising, tenderness, or numbness in the area can also occur and usually settle over the following days to weeks. Many people plan sessions around a lighter social week.

The most common effects are swelling, bruising, pain, numbness, redness, and areas of firmness under the chin, which are usually temporary. Less commonly, Kybella can affect a nerve in the jaw and cause a temporary uneven smile or facial muscle weakness, and rarely, trouble swallowing. Having a trained provider inject in the correct pattern lowers these risks, and your provider will review them with you before treatment.

Good candidates are healthy adults bothered by moderate fat under the chin who want to avoid surgery and have reasonable skin elasticity. It is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, with an infection or trouble swallowing, or with certain conditions. A consultation with Divya, PA-C is the best way to confirm it is right for you.

Both reduce fat without surgery but work differently. Kybella is an injectable that dissolves fat and suits small to moderate under-chin fullness, usually over a few sessions. CoolSculpting freezes fat with an applicator and can suit moderate, pinchable fat. Your provider will recommend the better fit for your chin at your consultation.

If you have a larger amount of fat, or fat combined with loose skin, a procedure such as FaceTite or chin liposuction can do more in a single treatment, including tightening skin. Kybella is best for smaller to moderate fat with reasonable skin tone. Because 7 Seas is part of a plastic surgery practice, your provider can guide you to the right option honestly.

Numbing with ice or a topical cream is used to keep you comfortable, and most people tolerate the injections well. There can be stinging or burning briefly during and after injection, and the area is often tender and swollen for a few days afterward.

Divya is truly the best! I have never been to a medical spa where someone took so much time to explain every single detail, what she was doing, why she was doing it, and what to expect. Her knowledge and professionalism immediately made me feel comfortable and confident. She never rushed me, answered all of my questions, and made the entire experience feel so personal. Divya, you’ve gained a customer for life, please don’t ever leave🥹🩵🙏🏻 In a smaller area like Augusta, it’s incredibly hard to find someone who is truly knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. I can honestly say I finally found my person😘My results look so natural, exactly what I wanted, and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Divya! I can’t recommend you enough❤️😘

Divya is truly the best!! She's honest, knowledgeable, and really listens. I always feel comfortable trusting her recommendations - so much so, I drive from Athens to Augusta just to have my treatments done by her. I've never had anything but a great experience with Divya.

DIVYA IS THE QUEEN OF INJECTIONS! Went to 7 seas about a month ago and got Botox in my neck and parts of my face. Divya was so knowledgeable and gave me advice on where to inject and how much. She knew exactly what I needed without going overboard. Now that it’s fully set in, I could not be happier specifically with my neck as well as my lip flip!
