I had two Kybella injections in February and April 2017. If I were to get another injection now, would it be like starting over at square one? Or will I still see results on par with what I'd see if I hadn't waited? Thanks!
Answer: Kybella Thank you for your question! You will still see results. Kybella’s active ingredient is a naturally-occurring molecule in the body, which aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into subcutaneous fat, this molecule destroys fat cells. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store fat and, if the desired look is achieved, more treatment is not required.

Answer: Time between treatment? Kybella results You will still be able to see results. Kybella is best for patients that: 1) Do not want surgery 2) Are not surgical candidates 3) Not willing to wear a compression dressing around the face for 1 week 4) Patient- The results of Kybella will take months Kybella take 1-3 treatments every 6 weeks. Patient will develop swelling and possible bruising after each injection that may last a few days. The benefit of Kybella is each treatment is quick and completed in the office. However, some patients need more than one treatment to get desired results. Hope this helps.

Answer: Timing between Kybella injections In my opinion, there is no maximum amount of time to wait in between Kybella injections. You should still see improvement after one treatment now after you had the 2 treatments early last year. It will not be like starting at square one.

Answer: Kybella Results--add thermage, ultherapy, exilis, VASER, ThermiRF No, you can still have good results if you have another treatment with Kybella. Keep in mind, Kybella is good for dissolving fat under the chin, but a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with non-invasive options. I recommend a combination approach with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is the best alternative for contouring the chin, if you're a candidate. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Can you wait too long between Kybella injections? That is a great question and the simple answer is no, but let me explain. Each treatment with Kybella gives a permanent reduction in the fat. We generally wait two months between treatments to give you a chance to critique your treatment and decide if you want another one. My experience has been that my patients have been very pleased with the results of their Kybella treatment and most have decided to have an additional treatment(s). I have found that most patients continue to improve for up to 6 months after each treatment. So some patients want to wait and see the “final” result from a treatment, especially if they do not have as much sub mental fat. Other patients don’t want to “slow down “ the process of reaching their desired improvement and return at two month intervals until they are close to their final desired effect. But you won’t lose your improvement Fromm waiting, because each treatment is permanent.
