I saw a Dr yesterday that suggested Kybella MesoTherapy to reduce my eye bags. Should I be worried?

Thank you for your question. There are physicians who use Kybella to treat fat pads under the eyes, and I don't believe it's a problem as long as your physician is a skilled and experienced injector. It is important to keep in mind that Kybella is FDA approved only for the treatment of submental fat. Treatment in other areas is considered off-label.

Thank you for your question. Kybella® is currently only indicated for chin fat reduction so no studies support treating under eye bags. 

Thankyou for your question. Kybella is only recommended for double chin at this stage. I know people that are using it in other areas but i would be very hesitate to suggest you have this done to your eye-bags. Far too risky. I would get a second opinion re your eyes.  good luck with your research

I would not suggest mesotherapy not Kybella for treating your under eye bags. Better you camouflage it with the use of fillers.

Currently, Kybella is approved for the treatment of submental fullness caused by fat below the chin. I would be hesitant in my clinic to treat undereye fat using Kybella until more studies are available. 

Hi There-- Kybella is safely used for reducing chin fat. Some doctors are currently using it for many other areas off-label. However, I would bot recommend it for any other area until trials are done to show it is safe. Unlike other injectibles, Kybella is a fairly dangerous substance. It is a bile acid that dissolves fat on contact-- but fat is what makes up cell membranes AND myelin -- the coating around your nerves. In the original trial, there was a nerve that was temporarily damaged 4% of the time. We take great pains to avoid that nerve, but this occasionally happens. Happily it has always been temporary-- weeks to months, but not permanent. SO, any new location, doctors need to make sure there are no important structures that could get damaged by the injections. That's why I will not use Kybella off-label until studies are done showing it is safe. I would definitely not recommend it for under the eyes! 

Kybella is FDA approved for sub mental (under chin) fat reduction. I would not recommend using it under eyes due to high risk of side effects in such a delicate area as eyes. I recommend to see a qualified physician for a second opinion.
Best of luck
