I had wanted to get Botox on my chin/ jaw area to make it appear more defined. I was wondering if this would remove any fat around that area. Would Kybella be a better option? I have very slight fat around, I just wanted it more defined. Thanks!
Answer: Botox vs Kybella to Define Chin and Jaw? Kybella Removes Fat and Defines Chin The only way to accurately answer your question is to see photos or better yet, consult in person. If you only have a small amount of fat under your chin and your skin quality is good, then I would recommend Kybella, which is a minimally invasive way to contour your submental area. If it is your platysmal muscle that is causing a widening of your neck and ill-defined jawline than Botox might be the right option for you. When injected in the right places and right amounts it can result in what we call the Nefertiti lift. If your skin is at all loose, I'd recommend adding in Ultherapy or ThermiTight to tighten the skin and make your jawline sleeker. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will allow you to receive an in-depth evaluation so you can make decisions on the best treatments to give you the results you desire.

Answer: Fat around the chin The indications for Botox and Kybella are very different. Botox is primarily used to address wrinkle lines in the upper face. Kybella is indicated to treat and dissolve excess fat under the chin. Kybella usually requires at least 2 treatments. Consult with your plastic surgeon to see if you are a good candidate.

Answer: Kybella Candidate--add thermage, ultherapy, exilis, VASER, ThermiRF This is difficult to answer without pictures. However, based on your description, you may be a candidate for Kybella. For best results with Kybella, I recommend a combination approach with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is an alternative for contouring the chin, if you're a candidate. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Botox vs Kybella These two medications do completely different things. Botox temporarily weakens muscle function and can be used to treat neck muscle bands or overly large chewing muscles in the posterior jawline area (master muscle). It will not work to thin fat under the chin. This is what Kybella does. Kybella dissolves fat cells and is ideal for patients with fat under the chin and jawline area.

Answer: Chin/ jawline contouring Thank you for your question. Botox is not typically used to slim the chin area. Botox can be used on the chin muscle (mentalis) to smooth the dimpling effect creating a softer chin. Fillers such as Radiesse or Juvederm Voluma are often used to increase the vertical dimension of the face, define the chin/ jawline and build structure to the lower face. Kybella is a great treatment option to slim and minimize the fat pad under the chin also known as the double chin. Hope this information helps!
