Double chin treatment in Boca Raton at Cosmetica Med Spa starts at $450 a session with Kybella, the FDA-approved injection that breaks down fat under the chin, with no surgery. Because a double chin can come from fat, a small chin, a soft jawline or loose skin, your plan is matched to the cause, using Kybella, chin or jawline filler, Titan or a PDO thread lift. Every plan is overseen by our board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Andrei Gherghina.
What's causing your double chin?
A double chin isn't always extra fat. The cause decides the treatment, and many people have more than one.
| Cause | How it usually looks | What helps most |
|---|---|---|
| A pocket of fat under the chin | Soft fullness you can pinch, often there even at a healthy weight | Kybella |
| A small or receding chin | The chin sits back, so the neck looks fuller from the side | Chin filler |
| A soft jawline | The jaw blends into the neck with no clear edge | Jawline filler |
| Loose or crepey skin | Skin that hangs or wrinkles under the chin rather than fat | Titan skin tightening or a PDO thread lift |
| Neck bands | Vertical cords that show when you talk or tense your neck | Botox, FDA approved for neck bands |
| A mix of the above | Fullness plus a weak chin or soft jaw | A combined plan, often Kybella plus chin filler |
Genetics play a big part. Many slim, active people have a stubborn pocket under the chin that diet and exercise won't touch.
How to get rid of a double chin without surgery
Kybella: removes the fat
Kybella is the FDA-approved injection for fat under the chin. Its active ingredient, deoxycholic acid, breaks down fat cells, and your body clears them over the following weeks. Allergan, the maker, states that treated fat cells can no longer store or accumulate fat, so results are long-lasting with a stable weight. Most people need 1 to 3 sessions, at least a month apart.
Chin filler: brings the chin forward
When the chin sits back, the area under it looks fuller than it is. Chin filler adds projection, which tightens the look of the chin-to-neck angle right away. Results last about 12 to 18 months.
Jawline filler: sharpens the edge
Jawline filler builds a clean line from ear to chin, so the jaw stands out from the neck instead of blending into it. Results show immediately and last 12 months or more.
Titan and thread lifts: tighten loose skin
If loose skin is the main issue, removing fat won't fix it. Titan uses infrared heat to tighten skin gradually, with no downtime. A PDO thread lift lifts the jawline and neck with dissolvable threads, and results last about 12 to 18 months.
Botox: softens neck bands
Vertical bands come from the platysma muscle, not fat. Botox relaxes those bands and is FDA approved for moderate to severe neck bands in adults.
Putting it together
The most dramatic profile changes often come from a combination, such as Kybella under the chin plus filler in the chin and jaw. That's what facial balancing is built around.

Kybella vs chin lipo
Chin liposuction is a surgical option for fat under the chin. Here's how it compares with Kybella.
| Kybella | Chin lipo | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Injections, no incisions | Surgery through small incisions |
| Where it's done | In our office, in about 20 minutes | In a surgical suite, under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia |
| Recovery | Swelling for about 5 days, sometimes up to 2 weeks | Swelling and bruising, with a compression strap worn full-time for about a week, then part-time for a few more weeks |
| Sessions | Usually 1 to 3 | One procedure |
| Final result | 4 to 6 weeks after each session | Up to about 6 months, as swelling fully settles |
| Best for | Small to moderate pockets of fat | Larger amounts of fat |
We don't perform surgery. If chin lipo would get you a better result than Kybella, your provider will tell you.
Do chin exercises, straps or weight loss work?
- Chin and jaw exercises can strengthen the muscles, but they don't remove the fat under the chin.
- Chin straps and wraps may reduce puffiness for a few hours. They don't change fat or skin.
- Weight loss helps if your overall weight is the cause, and many people see their chin slim down as they lose weight. A genetic pocket often stays, which is where Kybella comes in. See medical weight loss.
- Posture matters too. Looking down at a phone pushes tissue under the chin and makes any double chin look bigger in photos.
What results to expect
Filler results show right away and settle over about 2 weeks. Kybella works gradually: results show 4 to 6 weeks after each session, as your body clears the treated fat.
In the two FDA trials behind Kybella's approval, about 7 in 10 people treated with Kybella (70% and 66.5%) improved by at least one grade on a chin-fat scale, rated by both the doctor and the patient, compared with about 2 in 10 on placebo. Individual results vary.

Your consultation, step by step
- Profile check. Your provider looks at your chin, jaw and neck from the front and side, and checks fat, skin and muscle.
- Your plan. You get a plan with which treatments, how many sessions or syringes and your total, before anything is done.
- Treatment. Many people start the same day. Kybella takes about 20 minutes; filler takes about 30.
- Follow-up. We check your result and decide on any next session, about 4 to 6 weeks after Kybella.
Timing around events
Kybella causes swelling under the chin for about 5 days and sometimes up to 2 weeks, so book at least 2 weeks before weddings, photos or big events, or 6 weeks if you want the final result in the photos. Filler swelling is usually mild and settles within a few days. See our Kybella aftercare and filler aftercare guides.
Double chin treatment for men
A double chin hides the jawline on men just as often as on women, and a beard doesn't always cover it. Kybella, chin filler and jawline filler work the same way for men, and a sharper chin-to-neck angle is often the change men notice most. Men with a wide, square jaw from strong chewing muscles may also like masseter Botox.

How do I get rid of a double chin without surgery?
It depends on the cause. Kybella injections remove fat under the chin, chin and jawline filler improve a weak chin or soft jaw, and Titan or a PDO thread lift tighten loose skin. Many people get the best result from a combination. Your provider will tell you which fits at your consultation.
How much does double chin treatment cost in Boca Raton?
At Cosmetica Med Spa, Kybella is $450 per session, and most people need 1 to 3 sessions ($450 to $1,350). Chin and jawline filler are $699 per syringe, Titan starts at $400 and a PDO thread lift starts at $999. Your total is confirmed before treatment.
What is the best treatment for a double chin?
For fat under the chin, Kybella is the FDA-approved injection made for it. If a small chin or soft jawline is part of the problem, adding filler often makes the biggest difference to your profile.
Is Kybella permanent?
Kybella results are long-lasting. Allergan states that treated fat cells can no longer store or accumulate fat. Keeping a stable weight helps keep your result, since significant weight gain can add fullness to the area.
Kybella or chin lipo: which is better?
Kybella is injections in the office with no incisions, usually over 1 to 3 sessions. Chin lipo is surgery and can remove more fat in one procedure, with more recovery. For small to moderate fat pockets, many people prefer Kybella.
Can filler fix a double chin?
When a small or receding chin is part of the problem, yes. Chin filler brings the chin forward, which makes the area under it look slimmer right away. Filler doesn't remove fat, so many people pair it with Kybella.
Why do I have a double chin when I'm thin?
Genetics often decide where fat sits, and some people carry a pocket under the chin at any weight. A small chin or the angle of the jaw can also make the area look fuller.
Do double chin exercises work?
Exercises can strengthen the jaw and neck muscles, but they don't remove the fat under the chin. Kybella or weight loss reduces fat; filler and skin tightening change the shape.
Will losing weight get rid of my double chin?
If your overall weight is the cause, losing weight often helps. A genetic pocket of fat under the chin may stay even at your goal weight, and that's what Kybella treats.
How many Kybella sessions will I need?
Most of our clients need 1 to 3 sessions, at least a month apart. The FDA label allows up to 6 sessions for larger areas.
How long is the swelling after double chin treatment?
After Kybella, swelling usually lasts under 5 days and sometimes up to 2 weeks. Filler swelling is usually mild and settles within a few days.
What helps loose skin under the chin?
Loose skin needs tightening rather than fat removal. Titan tightens skin gradually with infrared heat, and a PDO thread lift lifts the jawline and neck.
Can men get double chin treatment?
Yes. Kybella and filler work the same way for men, and the price is the same. A sharper jawline is often the change men notice most.
