Hello and thank you for your question. Liposuction can be performed following injection with Kybella. I would recommend ultrasonic assisted (Vaser) liposuction following injection with Kybella or cases were liposuction has been performed previously to break up the fat. If you skin laxity, dermal tightening can be Corrected with Renuvion powered by J plasma for more definition of the chin and jaw line.I would recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon board certified by the American Board of plastic surgery to review your optionsI hope this helps. Best wishes! Andrew Lyos M.D. FACS
Yes, you can still do Liposuction after Kybella. Using a laser to break up the fat, such as SmartLipo, can help in secondary cases or after Kybella.
Without pictures it will be hard to tell if you are a good candidate for smart lipo to the chin/jowls. Most often the answer is yes, most patients that I see in my office did not get the results that they anticipated with Kybella and seek a consultation for smart lipo to the chin. Seek a consultation and your doctor can give you options.
Yes you can certainly get lipo on the chin provided you're at least 3 months out from Kybella. Smart Lipo or VASER lipo are both reasonable options. The other great thing that's new on the market now is FaceTite, which tightens the skin 30% more than either of the other two options and is also minimally invasive and can be combined with lipo!
Hello april0513,The use of Kybella does not preclude the eventual use of liposuction or Smart Lipo. Liposuction is a little more invasive than Kybella but still an in office procedure. It is also more customizable since Kybella cannot go as far laterally. I would recommend you consult with a facial plastic surgeon to learn more about your options. I hope this helps and good luck.
Anywhere you inject kybella it can reduce fat, but it won't do so evenly here and can cause inflammation that I wouldn't suggest you would want in the breast area. Best, Dr. Emer.
No, the CT scan will not interfere with your results from Kybella. Most people need more than one treatment with Kybella and it can take several weeks for results. Hope this helps.
Dear beam195,Kybella is a safe, effective and very gradual injectable treatment to reduce sub-mental fat permanently. By reducing the sub-mental fat it could make your jaw line (bone structure) show more where before it was hiding with sub-mental fat. It could also be swelling which is very ...
The photos you provided were blurry. It looks like you have extra fat under your skin but that your skin is firm and of good quality. If so, then Kybella might be your best choice. It takes several treatments to melt away your submental fat. You’ll have some skin tightening, too. Be sure to co...
No it is not normal to have hard lumps after kybella and I suggest you speak to your physician and start RF treatments like Exilis Ultra with cellutone to get improvement. Best, Dr. Emer.
