Kybella for armpit fat?

Hello!While most commonly used for double chin fat, you can use Kybella (deoxycholic acid) for bra fat, abdominal fat, love handles, inner thigh fat and more. Kybella is a FDA approved injection that kills and destroys fat cells permanently.  The key to this procedure lies in the surgical anatomy, the mistake most novice injectors make is injecting too superficial or too deep because they are unfamiliar with the surgical planes of the neck if they aren’t surgeons. The fat layer is in a specific plane that must be targeted directly in order to get efficacy with lowest risk. Body Fat Melting takes less than 20 minutes in Dr. Dugar’s expert hands. Following the procedure you can expect 1-7 days of redness, swelling, and tenderness.  Usually 2-3 sessions are required, spaced 2-3 months apart in between. Results last permanently.   

It's a great question. When the armpit skin is thick and elastic then armpit fat does really well with liposuction. Tiny holes are made and very small instruments are used to remove the stubborn fat. Once everything heals, no one will know that a little lipo was needed. 

As the principal investigator
for the FDA trials on Kybella, and with over 400 treatments performed, we found
that Kybella injections result in significant improvement in the appearance of
convexity or fullness associated with submental fat. The procedure is very well
tolerated by patients, fast, and can be performed in clinic. Kybella acts by
destroying fat cells in the area injected. The lysed fat cell contents create
an inflammatory reaction, resulting in skin contraction and tightening (in
addition to reduction of fat). Although Kybella is currently FDA-approved to
treat the fat underneath the chin area, other off-label applications for
Kybella at The Maas Clinic include treatment of cellulite or small, isolated
fatty deformities of the trunk or extremities, such as the“bra fat” area. I
have had great success using Kybella to help smooth out these small contour
irregularities. Prior to any intervention, however, a proper physical exam is
necessary. I recommend visiting a board-certified facial plastic surgeon who is
experienced with Kybella injections.
