Question

Nick Slenkovich, MD · Answer

Hi there! I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center.  No, using a dot grid for Kybella treatment is not mandatory, but it is recommended and can be helpful for safety, precision, and consistency of treatment.

Hi-Thank you for submitting your question. The dot grid used with Kybella has many uses. The grid is placed in such a way that it avoids the nerves coming up the side of your chin, ensures proper distancing of injections, and helps to determine the number of vials required for your treatment. Be sure to receive treatment from a licensed aesthetician trained to administer Kybella or a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck! Dr. Rodriguez

The dot grid can be helpful for a Kybella treatment because it ensures the medication is evenly placed in the treatment area to produce a smooth and natural result. However, it is a matter of provider preference. Some injectors swear by the grid while others choose not to use it. The most important factor when choosing your provider is the level of experience your doctor has in this procedure. If you work with a board-certified plastic surgeon who has performed numerous Kybella treatments, you can rest assured that your treatment will yield very good results whether or not the grid is used.

Hi,Thank you for your question.The dot grid included in the package is not required for kybella treatment. It's a tool that helps the injector to evenly place the product in a standardized way that likely was used during the clinical trials. It's certainly not required and its use is provider dependent. It does not affect the final result.Hope that helps!

The standard for treating submental fat with Kybella includes using dot grids. However a practitioner can deviate from the standard if he or she wishes to.
