Is it OK to use Kybella to the abdomen (off label) followed by Ultrasonic Cavitation?

Question

Monika Soni, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question! Use of Kybella in areas outside of the submental region or chin area is not FDA approved. However, many providers are doing it. I would ask the individual provider what their experience is and how comfortable they feel especially with it being off label. I have treated patients for non chin areas and always counsel the patient on all the options. Since each injection is 1 cm apart, you can imagine how many injection it would take for the entire abdomen; each vial only provide 10 injections, so it may not be the most cost effective to go straight to Kybella. It is not uncommon that patients start with Cool Sculpting and then use Kybella to contour/ sculpt the remaining fat pockets. Best of luck!
