Just talked to my plastic surgeon about Kybella? I am 47, weigh 134. He said the cost is $1,500--- is that per treatment or for all treatments? How many treatments might I need? Would you recommend this over chin lipo? If so, why?

Answer: Kybella vs. Laserlipo Kybella is a wonderful option for patients who are looking to treat a pocket of fat directly under the chin. I would assume the cost you were quoted is per session. Our practice offers both Kybella and LaserLipo. If you have a good amount of excess fat and volume in areas other than just the "double chin," I would recommend Laserlipo. We perform our lipo in the office and there is very little downtime with the treatment. Cost actually are similar at our practice for a series of Kybella vs. Lipo. You are able to cover a larger area with Lipo and strengthen the jawline. I would consult with a provider that has multiple options so that they can offer the best treatment suited for your individual needs.

Answer: Kybella is good for certain candidates with submental fat under the chin Good candidates for Kybella have submental fat under the chin that they would like to get rid of non-invasively. To determine if you are a candidate, an in-person consultation is required in which the doctor can assess your situation and talk to you about your goals. Whether you choose Kybella or chin liposuction just depends on your personal preferences and the results of your consultation; both treatment options can be very effective for contouring the chin. Liposuction can get you results in a single session, but you will need to spend a couple days recovering as well as wear a compression garment for some time. $1500 sounds about right for the cost of a single Kybella session.
