Can it give to over 65 person? After Kybella, do we need surgery to remove skin sag?

Kybella can be used on any age if you have no chronic medical issues that would negate the procedure.  I suggest you speak to your physician about it.  It has not been stuided in those less than 18 years old.  There is some degree of lifting and tightening from the medication but if you have a lot of laxity, surgery or laser/ultrasound liposuction is essential.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Kybella has specificindications for use. It is approved for submental chin area and should not be used if the patient has excessive skin. This would need a neck lift.

Kybella is administered as an injection into
the fat tissue in the submental area (under chin).  Multiple injections are
required with each treatment. Total treatment time will take about 20 minutes.   If skin laxity is an issue , your provider will be able to determine if other treatments or adjunct services might be valuable.#Kybellatreatments   #chinfattreatments   #Kybellafatdestruction

That's a good question! In short,  KYBELLA®    injections are  indicated for improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe  fullness associated with submental fat in adults.   Both women and men – of all ages, weight and
gender can be candidates for  fat destruction by injection when chin fat is resistant to diet, exercise and aging.   Kybella does not treat skin laxity . A skilled provider can offer a consultation to tell if you are a good candidate.#candidateforKybella   #chinfatdestruction   #Kybellatreatments

A good candidate for kybella may be over the age of 65.  A good candidate is someone with submental fullness due to excess fatty tissue.  Kybella does also tighten the skin modestly.  As we age, our skin and neck muscles are more prone to sagging.  This can happen before age 65, but becomes more common with increasing age.  So, some people over age 65 are good candidates, and some people under age 65 are not.  The consultation is the key.  An experienced provider should be able to point you in the right direction.

In theory, if you have a moderate degree of neck laxity with submental fullness, you can be a candidate for Kybella, regardless of whether you are older than 65 or not.  With age, we do get more laxity everywhere, but it does differ from one individual to another.  I would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to discuss whether Kybella is an option for you.

In order to determine if you are a good candidate for Kybella, it's important to consult with an experienced doctor who can assess your medical history and speak with you about your overall goals for facial rejuvenation. Because it's so new,there haven't been any clinical trails using Kybella on patient's who are under 18 and over 65 years of age. As our skin naturally ages, we begin to develop laxity or looseness which causes the skin to sag. This is found more commonly in patients over 65 years old, which is why an experienced physician would need to assess each patient on an individual basis. Most individuals over 65 will most likely not be good candidates for Kybella because of increased skin elasticity and may need to consider surgical options. If laxity is the reason why you aren't a good candidate for Kybella, there are other procedures that can help tighten the skin like Ulthera. In order to address the submental fat, submental liposuction would be an alternative to Kybella injections. Remember that the most important thing is to consult with a doctor who has experience injecting Kybella to ensure that they can review all of your options with you thoroughly. 

As with any procedure, patient selection is paramount. Kybella is a great non-surgical alternative for patients with excess submental fat, good skin elasticity, and no banding of the platysma or neck muscle.If the latter exist, you are likely a candidate for a Facelift. Your doctor will examine you and let you know if you are a Kybella candidate.Best wishes.

Kybella may not be appropriate for persons over the age of 65 years.  This is because Kybella reduces neck/chin fat and provides some tightening of the tissues, as well; however, Kybella may not provide enough skin and tissue tightening for some patients.  They may benefit from a skin tightening device such as Ulthera or a neck lifting surgical procedure.  Your best bet is to consult with a surgeon who can present to you a variety of options.Good luck!

I am at the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons meeting in Montreal right now and just had a long discussion with the Kybella people. They do see some skin tightening with the medication. 2-4 sessions are necessary for maximal improvement. I think patients should be realistic about the skin tightening expectations however. Another treatment for skin tightening may be necessary and you should speak to your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss need for radio frequency skin tightening vs chin implant vs neck lift for optimal results. Can't wait till this product is available!
