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!
