Answer: Kybella Candidate--add thermage, ultherapy, Coolsculpting, exilis, VASER, ThermiRF Based on your description, you may not be a good candidate for kybella. I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates and can be combined with a neck lift/skin removal at the same time, if needed. Kybella can be used as an alternative and needs to be combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting for good results. You can get the procedure performed at a spa by a medical practitioner. However, I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Kybella is a medical procedure You may be able to get Kybella at a medi-spa where the procedure will be done by a medical professional. However after massive weight loss it is unlikely to be your best choice. See a plastic surgeon who offers Kybella and you can then get an honest opinion about your best option.

Answer: Where to get Kybella Considering your extreme weight loss (congratulations, by the way), you may be dealing with loose skin in addition to (or instead of) residual fat. I would recommend seeing a physician who has had experience with Kybella and make sure you trust them prior to getting injected. A plastic surgeon would be able to give you options if the area is more loose skin because they would be able to remove it. However, there are many excellent physicians out there that own/work at reputable med spas that can offer other non invasive ways of treating loose skin should that be the issue. Certainly, check credentials prior to treatment.

Answer: Kybella treatments Thank you for your question Kweesie. Kybella is the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double chin. It is difficult to make an assessment without photographs. Kybella and other treatments such as fractional CO2 laser resurfacing are available for the double chin and loose skin. It is important to find an experienced injector and many offices including medical spas, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons have outstanding injectors. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
