Kybella will dissolve fat and can be used to remove fat graft.  Kybella is also very precise but might require several treatments

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Dear Graceful95984,
it is hard to tell for sure without an examination. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

You can simply have the fat sucked back out of your chin. It should be able to look normal again!!!

It’s more common for people having had that procedure to complain of a lack of results.The procedure cannot be reversed but fed can be removed with Liposuction know the area has a lot of connective tissue and the cannula will not differentiate between grafted fat and native fat.

A revision may or may not deliver the results you want or bring it back to baseline but it’s a worthwhile discussion to have with your provider.
