To doctors who've performed Kybella on men: how common is beard hair loss? Anything one can do to prevent it? Would shaving before hand prevent it?
Answer: Beard Loss With Kybella Is Uncommon but Possible Beard loss may occur in some men who receive Kybella injections to melt away submental fat. The mechanism for this is unclear. While it doesn't occur in all or even most cases, it is wise to prepare for such an occurrence. I have personally injected many men, both in the trial and in clinical practice and have not seen this rare side effect. Your idea of shaving beforehand may make you feel more in control of the situation, as the hair loss would be less obvious. From all accounts, it does appear that the hair will grow back on its own within four to six months. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist about how to get the sleek chin you want with Kybella.

Answer: Kybella & Hair Loss Hair loss in the treatment area is a potential side effect of Kybella. It doesn't happen in every patient so impossible to predict your individual reaction. Typically, if it does happen, the hair will fully grow back in 4-6 months. Hope this helps.Kindly,Kouros Azar

Answer: Hair Loss after Kybella Thank you for your question! Kybella works by desolving the fat which lies just below the skin, under the chin and jaw line. This will help to remove fullness and can even tighten the jawline, as well. In my male patients treated with Kybella, I have not seen any hair loss. However, there have been some reported cases of this. Be sure to discuss this with your board certified injector, and he/she will explain the risks and benefits of Kybella. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin
