Kybella or neck lift for women over 40?

If you have loose skin and have to use your hands to push your skin back to show the results your want to have, then a surgical procedure such as neck lift for facelift is likely the procedure you need.  However, if you have isolated fullness under your chin with minimal to no loose/hanging skin, then Kybella may very well be the better choice.  Without pictures or seeing you in consultation, it is impossible to give you specific advice.  Good Luck.

Kybella does work on women over 40. The best way
for a doctor to determine if a patient is a good candidate for a neck lift or
Kybella treatments is an examination. A surgeon who is experienced with neck
lift surgery and Kybella should be able to determine the above Kybella has only
been approved since April so the experience of most surgeons is somewhat
limited however there are a number of us who have been trained as Kybella
faculty and have a bit more experience than those who are just beginning to use
the therapy. Basically someone who has good skin elasticity and minimal laxity
with an isolated fatty pocket in the submental or double-chin area is a good
candidate. I would seek out a surgeon who is experienced and reputable.

Thank you for your question.  If you have moderate laxity but more fullness in the double chin area, then Kybella would a very reasonable option for you.  I would consult with a plastic surgeon who is well versed in the use of Kybella as well as neck surgery so you can weigh your options.  Good luck.
