can kybella be use on festoon and if not why ?? Thank you
Answer: Dark Circles, Eyelid Wrinkles/Bags Treatment -- Restylane or Belotero with Cannulas, Clear+Brilliant, Eclipse Micropen, Viva Kybella is only indicated for use in the submental area (under chin). Festoons can be improved with fillers, lasers, microneedling/skin care. I suggest you see an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Kybella for festoons? Festoons are extra "bags" or pouches of the lower eyelid and cheek areas. The ones over the cheek are sometimes called "malar bags" - malar is another word for cheek. They are difficult to treat and are probably due to chronic swelling combined with looseness of the tissues rather than fat. To my knowledge I do not know of Kybella being described to treat these but I would not expect it to be helpful. And I would worry about the inflammatory response causing an ectropion-pulling the eyelid down.When festoons are large and localized, a direct excision may be the best treatment. I would recommend that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in this area.

Answer: Kybella and festoons Kybella is the brand term for a chemical called deoxycholic acid. This product leads to the breakdown of fat cells in the area of injection. Kybella is only approved for treatment of fat accumulation under the chin. Unfortunately, festoons are the result of fluid accumulation and or excess skin in the region of the malar eminence. Therefore, Kybella would not significantly affect the festoon--if anything, it may leave you looking worse if it affects the cheek fat pads. Hope this helps!

Answer: Kybella Kybella is only approved by the FDA for use in the submental area (under the chin). It is not indicated for use around the eye and would be very unsafe. Kybella dissolves fat cells, however in the periorbital area the entire orbit contains fat. Disruption of the orbital and periorbital fat would be unaesthetic and dangerous to ones vision.Also festoons are not usually fat. Festoons are the accumulation of tissue fluid over the malar bones and are most successfully treated metabolically.If you are concerned with your eyes please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon, an eperienced expert.

Answer: Kybella & Festoons Kybella has only been FDA approved to treat the fat under the chin which means that there hasn't been enough research done on the efficacy and safety of using it elsewhere on the body. I would not recommend using Kybella to treat your festoons. Kindly,Kouros Azar
