Can Kybella be used for under eye bags?

Currently, Kybella is only FDA approved for reduction of submental fat underneath the chin. The safety of other, off-label uses has not been tested yet, so I would not recommend using it on other areas of the body, especially the eye area, which is very delicate. There are other treatments that may be better for reducing the appearance of undereye bags, including dermal fillers. I recommend visiting a board-certified dermatologist to see what other treatments may be good for you.

Kybella is an exciting new FDA approved
treatment for submental fullness, or double chin. Kybella is Deoxycholic Acid
and it is injected into the fat pad under the chin. At this time, Allergan has not received clearance for any other areas .#Kybelladestroysfat     #fatdestruction     #Kybellaforchins

No, at this time Kybella(R) is not used to treat undereye "bags," which represent fat that has pushed through deeper layers in the skin to become visible.  Treatment options do include blepharoplasty (surgically repositioning the fat) and possibly the use of dermal fillers in the area around the "bags" to camoflage their appearance.  The best course of action would be to schedule a consultation with a board certified dermatologic or plastic surgeon to learn which options would best address your specific condition.

I appreciate your question.No, it is FDA approved for sub mental fat reduction and requires several treatments to see substantial improvement.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic and restorative plastic surgery.best of luck!Dr Schwartz
