Would Kybella help me achieve a more defined jaw line despite having a low hyoid? (photos)

Question

I already have a low body fat percentage but the angle between my neck and jaw is not great. I am hoping to make the jawline a bit more defined. Do you think that Kybella would be an option based on the photos? If my issue is a low hyoid would Kybella still work? My jawline is stronger on my right side. Do you think filler on my left side would be an option?

Kybella is an FDA-approved injectable treatment used to reduce moderate to severe fat below the chin (submental fat). It is primarily designed for use under the chin and may not be suitable for addressing concerns related to the angle between the neck and jaw. If the issue is related to the positioning of the hyoid bone, Kybella may not be the most effective solution.

Facial fillers can be used to enhance and define the jawline. If you have asymmetry with a stronger jawline on one side, a dermal filler can be strategically injected on the other side to create balance and improve symmetry. Fillers can add volume to specific areas, providing a more sculpted appearance.

I hope this helps,
Best of luck !
