I recommend following up today with your practitioner about the recommended timeline. I recommend waiting several weeks. It will take several weeks for final results with Kybella and it will need a combination approach. For best results with Kybella, I recommend a combination approach with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is an alternative for contouring the chin, if you're a candidate. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
Thank you for your question. Each doctor will be a little bit different in their recommendations regarding this. You should ask the surgeon who is performing the RF/Micro treatment what his or her preference is. In my practice, I usually encourage patients to wait about 6-8 weeks after Kybella treatment before repeating the treatment or doing anything else. Hope this helps!Dallas R.

Thank you for the excellent question. I would recommend waiting for 6 months after the last Kybella treatment before proceeding with microneedling with RF. I wish you the best with your treatment.
Hello there! I would recommend discussing this with your provider, since every provider has different preferences with timing. In my experience, after two weeks the area should not be tender, and the injection sites should be healed. Because of this, I would feel comfortable treating a patient with micro-needling at that time. Kybella works deep in the subcutaneous layer, whereas micro-needling is much more superficial. Cheers!

Due to having some skin laxity, a third Kybella treatment will not provide your desired result. Overall though, you have shown tremendous progress! Kybella is purely used for adipose (fat) reduction and if the skin of the treatment region is not tight or firm, the skin will continue to hang if n...
Great question. The answer to this question is individualized to your specific anatomy and desired results. Kybella works great to permanently dissolve submental fat. Patients typically need 3 treatments with Kybella that are spread 4-6 weeks apart. After the injections, the treated area can be...
Thanks for the question! It is quite impossible to answer this question without fully examining the area of concern. In the past my patients have seen a result with 1 vial of Kybella. Best,Dr. Anil Shah MD FACS
From your photos, it seems like you’d do great with Kybella to melt the tiny bit of fat you have under your chin. As for your jowls, well first I can’t really see them in the photo, and second if you do have prejowls they’re probably caused by skin at your young age, not fat. I’d suggest startin...
Most patients require 3-4 treatments with Kybella. You have minimal submental fullness, so it is possible that one vial would produce a subtle change that you like. However, too much Kybella can cause submental hollowing (the cobra deformity). Perhaps a better option is just to leave this area...
