Most implants are made of silicone. As long as the injection is not placed into or too close to the implant, you should not have any issues. Make sure you speak to the injector and mention you have the implant so they are aware. best of luck.
Kybella is contraindicated if there has been prior surgery in the neck area beneath the chin. If the incision and placement of the implant is in the usual area and the approach is above the chin area then the injections should be fine. Share your prior history with your plastic surgeon.
Kybella won't affect the chin implant material. You will have significant swelling after Kybella so prepare yourself. I tell my patients to expect swelling and jiggling for 2-4 weeks. Numbness lasts about 6 weeks. And then there are lumps and bumps for up to 8 weeks as well. Swelling does not fully resolve for a few months so i don't re-inject for a few months.My best,Dr. Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram
Kybella is a new injectableapproved by the FDA for the treatment of moderate to severe fat under the chin;double chin. Up until now the only option for fat removal under the chin wasliposuction or surgically removing the fat by cutting it out. Chin implants lie above the treatment area of submental fat and would not affect the outcomes.#Kybellafatreduction #doublechintreatments #fatreduction
Kybella should not harm an existing chin implant however, if you have a chin implant I suspect it was placed for a reason (chin retrusion with skin laxity of the neck). Treatment with kybella will not tighten the neck skin but only melt the fat beneath the skin. It works best for patients with an obvious buldge of fat beneath the chin. If you strain your neck and at the same time can pinch fat beneath your chin kybella works well. It will not however sculpt a neck with loose skin.
I suggest you consult a board certified facial plastic surgeonto receive the highest quality knowledge, treatment, care and skill available. A consultation provides you the opportunity to relay yourconcerns and desired outcome to the surgeon while the surgeon can assess yourhealth profile and discuss his/her pertinent advice. During the consultation, you will be able to discuss your previous surgical and non-surgical procedures to assist your surgeon in determining the right procedure for your desired look.We have found Kybella to be superior to other products in our office. Kybella isthe first and only FDA-approved injectable drug that contours and improves theappearance of submental fullness due to submental fat. It is indicated for improvement in theappearance of moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated withsubmental fat in adults.

Thank you for your question. You should be able to have Kybella with a chin implant in place. I would recommend that you visit with a board certified plastic surgeon who can modify the treatment plan according to where the implant is in relation to the areas of concern.
Yes. The chin implant should sit on the lower border of the jaw. Kybella is placed a one finger breadth below the lower border of the jaw and should not contact the chin implant. Seek an injector experienced in both chin implant surgery and injectables. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
Kybella can be used in areas where the are chin implants. Even liposuction can be done here, I do this all the time to recontour areas that the implant was unable to take care of . I suggest a formal consultation to see what is best. Dr. Emer.
If you are having a chin implant, it makes more sense to use submental liposuction (if you are otherwise a good candidate) than Kybella. The advantage of Kybella is that it is non-surgical. It's an injection performed in the office. As a Kybella trainer, I have been pleased with its efficacy. However, it does require multiple treatments that can have noticeable bruising and swelling, especially after the first treatment. So if you are having surgery to place a chin implant, it makes sense to perform submental liposuction at the same time, since there is already anesthesia (even local), down time, risk, and expense associated with the chin implant. Thanks for your question.
It is best to avoid strenuous activities while the treated area is still healing. Please contact a qualified provider or a board-certified physician with extensive experience in these procedures.

Thank you for your questions. The number of treatments needed will vary from one person to the next and depends on severity of fullness, and how quickly you respond. The average person will have Kybella injections 2-3 times. On Average at our office, patients who would be considered “mild f...
