Can Kybella remove too much fat?

Great Question,Typically Kybella takes a series of treatment to get to the desired end result , there is not any other treatment that can target that area of stubborn fat besides maybe doing some Smart ipo this does depend on the location of the area as well. We see our patients every 6 weeks to ensure results and expectations. Each patient gets a customized treatment plan because not everyone's facial features is the time which we discuss at time of the consultation. Hopefully this was helpful!Best,Dr. Landon Pryor 

Thank you for your question. It takes a series of treatments to get good results with Kybella. Keep in mind, Kybella is good for dissolving the submental fat under the chin area while contouring the jawline and making the chin more defined, but a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with non-invasive options. I recommend a combination approach with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is the best alternative for contouring the chin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Dear sonofacamel,
Kybella typically takes 3 to 5 treatments to work. This is why I've stopped carrying Kybella in my office.  I recommend neck liposuction more often then any injectable procedure for the neck now. It provides superior results gives me more control over the area than any injectable.  It also costs about the same as what you paid for your first kybella session. The liposuction can be done under local while awake in the office and recovery is about the same as kybella.
