Can Kybella be used along the jawline? (photo)

Dear FrenchGarcon:
I love your illustration. Fullness under the jawline can be reduced with Kybella. When injecting, the physician will inject no closer than 1.5 cm to the jawbone itself, to avoid coming close to the marginal mandibular nerve which is tucked up underneath the jawbone, and no closer than 1 cm to the sternocleidomastoid muscle. An 0.2 cc aliquot of Kybella diffuses 1 cm in all directions, and will not approach the nerve. When you reduce the fat in this area, the jawline itself acquires more definition. This is an off-label area, but experienced injectors have found that patients are much happier when any excess fat is treated on the sides of the neck as well as just under the chin.
I will be demonstrating this technique on a male neck this Wednesday between 5 and 7, as well as offering complementary consultations and special pricing on Kybella, Ultherapy and other treatments. 
All the best,  Dr. Clark

Kybella is only FDA approved for treating the submental fat area. You run the risk of nerve injury using it closer to the jawline. Hope this helps.

Kybella is FDA indicated for the submental fat area. Moving to the submandibular area increases the risk of injuring the mandibular nerve. At our office we have a nerve simulator to eliminate the risk of hitting this nerve. Kybella also comes with a chart that sticks on to the submental area that helps avoid the mandibular nerve.
