Do fat dissolving injections actually work? Am I a candidate? (photo)

Hi,
Thank you for your questions. A fat dissolving injection called Kybella does work. It's a great non invasive option for the submental fat area (under the chin). I recommend consulting with your local service provider for an in person assessment. They will determine if you're a Kybella candidate, or if there are other options that are better for your concern. Good luck.

Thank you for your question and for providing your picture.  Kybella is a great injectable option for dissolving fat.  A consultation with an experienced doctor would be necessary to know exactly how many treatments you need.  All the best!

Kybella is good for dissolving the submental fat under the chin area while contouring the jawline and making the chin more defined, but a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with non-invasive options. I recommend a combination approach with Thermage, Ultherapy, and Exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is the best alternative for contouring the chin and can be performed with a neck lift, if you're a candidate. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
