I have some fat under my chin I would like to get rid of. Would kybella be a good option? If so, how many vials would I need during the first session? & would I need more than one session? Thank you.
Answer: Kybella Thank you for your question about Kybella. It is impossible to accurately quote you without an in person consultation. I will tell you that most patients need 3-4 sessions with at least 2-4 vials. Kybella is amazing and our patients have had great results. Kybella works great at dissolving fat as well as offering mild skin tightening as well. Every person is different and I would hate to mislead you. To be sure, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Answer: Kybella treatment Kybella treatment may reduce the fat pocket beneath your chin, but jawline liposuction to include the area beneath your chin would give you a well contoured, youthful jaw and chin appearance. Liposuction can be accomplished in the office and is safe and predictable. Only one treatment is necessary. The results using Kybella are less predictable and require more than one treatment in most cases. In addition, it does not improve the jawline. I perform both Kybella injections and liposuction, and my bias towards liposuction is from experience. Good luck

Answer: Kybella Dear deChanel,Kybella typically takes 3 to 5 treatments to work. This is why I've stopped carrying Kybella in my office. I recommend neck liposuction more often then any injectable procedure for the neck now. It provides superior results gives me more control over the area than any injectable. It also costs about the same as what you paid for your first kybella session. The liposuction can be done under local while awake in the office and recovery is about the same as kybella.Daniel Barrett, MD Certified, American Board of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Plastic Surgery Member, American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery

Answer: How many vials? Kybella treatment You'll need an in-person evaluation, but you have a few options to improve your neck. Both Kybella or neck liposuction are good options and will improve the double chin. It depends on your lifestyle and personality which would be better for you. 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. Neck Liposuction is best for patients that: 1) Want a single treatment 2) One recovery time- Downtime for neck liposuction require wearing a wrap around face for 1 week. 3) Less painful 4) Quicker results 5) Cost is a concern Neck liposuction is a quick surgical procedure that can be complete while the patient is awake. It cost around the same price a Kybella and can be less in patients with heavier necks. The single recovery of neck liposuction may be a better option for some patients. I hope this helps.
