Will wearing a chin strap help to keep my skin tighter (to help keep skin close to my chin and jaw) since I'm 50 yrs old?

Wearing the chin strap probably won't help as the studies did not show a significant difference, however the initial swelling that some patients get, might be reduced by wearing it the first 2 or 3 days. If you have significant skin that is loose after the procedure, I would discuss with your doctor about other options. Also, it is best to wait at least 4 weeks after your last injection if you are getting more than one, to judge how much skin laxity you will have. Most patients are pleased with the improvement from the Kybella alone, but there are other options if more tightening needs to be done.

Thank you for your question.  While I don't think that wearing a support garment under the chin would necessarily be detrimental, I do not think this will necessarily improve the results.  Kybella works by dissolving fat underneath the skin of the chin and jawline.  As the fat dissolves, the submental (under the chin) area will tighten.  The support garments are usually worn after surgery, such as a necklift and/or facelift.  I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

I suggest you speak to your physician.  In the studies chin straps didn't help much for anything but possibly some swelling. I find that radiofrequency treatments help significantly.  Best, Dr. Emer.
