If kibella is used to destroy submental fat, what happens to the skin? After loss of submental volume, does the skin become sagging? If it doesn't, what makes Kybella tighten the skin after the fat dissolves? Thanks

Answer: Double Chin Treatment / Laxity-- SmartLipo/VASER/ThermiRF, Botox, Venus Legacy, Kybella, CoolMini Kybella is used for fat dissolving, not skin tightening. Sagging skin will depend on your age and skin laxity. I often combine kybella with ultherapy or thermiRF and botox. I suggest you see an expert who does combination therapy. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Does Kybella cause sagging skin? No. Kybella does not cause sagging skin. It reduces the submental fat pad. However, in older patients or those with excess laxity in the skin, the fat removal process can reveal "banding" below the chin. It's important to find a physician injector who understands this so they can counsel you whether you are a good candidate or not. People with excess laxity in their skin are not good candidates due to the risk for skin sag or banding after removal of the fat. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
