Am I a good candidate for Kybella or would it prematurely age me? (Photo)

Question

Subdermal fat naturally goes away with age so I worry about removing it too soon. I'm 30 5'3" @118 with a muscular physique (visible ab show and muscles). I could get down to 108 but that's a difficult weight to keep without losing strength over time. And yet, I have a wide mentocervical angle at 98 degrees. I've always had a slightly chubby, youthful face so I think I may just have extra fat. Am I a good candidate for Kybella?

Great posted photos! You can use either KyBella injections in 2 sessions 3 weeks apart @ $900/session range or local anesthesia liposuction @ $2,500. Healing less then 1 week with lipo. Best to virtual consult with....

The photographs from the side profile demonstrate a recessive chin profile and fat deposits in your neck. Consider placement of a chin implant to augment your chin forward for better structural support for the soft tissues in your neck. If the fat deposits in your neck are located above the platysma muscle, then simple liposuction can improve your jawline. If the fat deposits are located both above, and below the muscle, you'll need a neck lift procedure to surgically extract the fat deposits below the platysma muscle, which also includes a platysma plasty to significantly improve your jawline. Noninvasive treatments simply cannot accomplish improvement of all your issues
