I am a 6-0 year old woman who will undergo my first Kybella treatment next week. I am concerned that I might end up with saggy loose skin afterwards since my skin is not as elastic as it was when I was younger. What is the percentage of older patients that end up with saggy skin after Kybella treatments and need additional skin tightening treatments?
Answer: Start small In an older patient and lax skin, it is judicious to start small with only one vial at a time.This allows for careful placement and will give you time for your own natural tightening before you proceed with another treatment.Larger amounts of Kybella will perhaps overwhelm your neck laxity so start small

Answer: Loose skin before Kybella Thank you for your question Jule. I understand your concern. Kybella is the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double chin. It would seem as though there would be loose skin left over if the fat in the double chin is eliminated. However we have found that this is not the case. There seems to be some tightening along with the fat removal. For those who have loose skin to begin with before Kybella treatments other treatments such as fractional CO2 laser resurfacing can be performed. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: Kybella & Lax Skin Based solely on your photo, the issue in your under chin/neck area seems to be one of loose skin. Kybella will not treat loose skin. The only solution for this is surgery. Hope this helps.Kindly,Kouros Azar

Answer: Kybella and Saggy Skin Kybella is an amazing way to get rid of submental fat. I often combine Kybella with Thermage for skin tightening to have the best results. Your photos appear that you may be a better candidate for a neck lift rather than Kybella injections. Please consult an expert. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Possible Saggy Skin -Kybella Not everyone is an ideal candidate for Kybella or neck liposuction.Judging from your profile it appears that a large component of your neck laxity is due to inelastic skin ,lax muscles and some fat.You are correct that Kybella may make you profile different but not necessarily better. You appear to be a better candidate for a neck lift not Kybella.
