After kybella do we need surgery to remove skin sag
Answer: Kybella/ATX-101/Kythera Can Be Used On Any Age/Adults 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.

Answer: Kybella for people over 65 years old The short answer is, yes. You can give Kybella to a person over 65 years old provided they are a good candidate for the procedure. Ideally, a patient treated with Kybella would NOT need surgery to remove sagging skin. This is why it is extremely important you see a medical professional, like a plastic surgeon, who is experienced in facial aesthetics and facial anatomy. With Kybella, we rely on the elasticity of the skin to retract as the fat beneath it is dissolved. If an older (and some younger) individual has poor skin elasticity, then they will develop loose hanging skin after being treated with Kybella. The only way to fix that skin would be with a surgical procedure. Best of luck!

Answer: Over or under 65: A good consultation is the key to having the right procedure 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.

Answer: Kybella over the age 65 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.
