I'm 58 and have a large double chin; not sure how much is fat and how much is skin. I'm also on Synthroid for hypothyroidism. Would I be a candidate for Kybella?

Answer: Is Kybella suitable for older adults? At 58 you certainly can be a candidate for Kybella. Looking at your photo it’s hard to determine if you have submental fat or excessive sagging skin plus some fat. I would suggest you see a cosmetic doctor who can determine if you are a good candidate for Kybella.

Answer: Kybella for submental fat not skin laxity Age is not the issue with regards to determining whether you are a good candidate for Kybella or not. Kybella is a treatment for submental fat but not skin laxity. So to decide if you are a candidate the physician must first determine if you have skin laxity. If you have good skin quality then you maybe a good candidate for Kybella treatment. Otherwise, a skin tightening procedure/surgery maybe a better option. I recommend you see an experienced aesthetic physician for an in person consultation.
