Kybella is only approved for treating submental fat under the chin. While it is used off-label by some physicians, the safety of using Kybella in larger areas like you are describing has not been well-documented at this time. I would likely recommend liposuction or CoolSculpting for these areas, as they are minimally-invasive surgical procedures that will remove the fat and give you the results you want in a single treatment session. As long as you keep your weight relatively the same, within five pounds, both liposuction and CoolSculpting offer very long-term results. If you gain 15 or 20 pounds, it is not fair to blame the procedure for fat in new areas. Instead, it is old fashioned diet and exercise that need to be factored in. As you age, it is harder to lose weight and hormones play a factor as well. Realizing this, one must eat less or exercise more through the years to avoid weight gain. Try to weigh yourself on every birthday and record it. This weight should be your goal and your guide for a healthy weight and fit toned body through the years. An experienced, board-certified dermatologist can assess you in person and determine whether you need to treat both areas or if you will get the results you want from addressing the saddlebags alone. They can also help you reshape the body at a weight that is comfortable for you to maintain. Then you will have the figure you want for many years.
Kybella is an injectable fat reducing treatment that is only approved to treat submental fat under the chin. It is not designed for use in larger areas like you are describing. I recommend you schedule a consultation with a board-certified dermatologist for a full assessment and discussion of your concerns and goals. It is likely a liposuction procedure will meet your needs best. In my office, we use the Awake liposuction technique, which can be performed using local anesthetic and typically requires less downtime than traditional liposuction techniques. Treating your backside will not increase the size of your saddlebags. However, reducing the size of the buttocks may create the illusion the saddlebags are larger due to changes in proportion. An experienced doctor will be able to recommend the right treatment plan for you based on your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
hello, quick question. Kybella is targeted fat reduction. The other areas that are not injected will not get larger unless you gain weight.
Hi there,Kybella is only FDA approved for sub mental fat (under chin area). I think it would be in your best interest to have a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist.Good Luck
Using Kybella and the abdomen sounds like a terrible idea. I can go on and on and on about why this is a bad idea. It's simply is. Don't try to remove abdominal fat using Kybella. Cupping does nothing and will do nothing so do you cupping if you like it but don't expect it to change your fat ...
I would not recommend Kybella for this area for a couple of reasons. First, you will need many injections and a lot of product during a single treatment, which will likely lead to significant swelling and discomfort after the procedure. Second, Kybella usually requires more than one treatment...
Hello Kybella is a fat dissolving acid that is injected in the area to get rid of that stubborn double chin. We have seen great results on patients after 2-3 treatments. There is no downtime and the results show fairly quick.Best of lucks!
