Kybella with present cystic acne on neck (Photo)

As long as you’re not having a severe break out under your chin, your cystic acne shouldn’t interfere with Kybella treatments. Kybella only affects fat. Your injector should be able to avoid the active lesions. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will help you clear your acne and also eliminate your double chin

Acne will not affect kybella. There are many options for jawline contouring:
1) implants
2) fat or filler injections
3) botox for masseter hypertrophy or platysma muscle/neck bands
4) ThermiRF, J plasma, Thermage or Ultherapy skin tightening
5) PDO Novathreads or instalift threads for lifting
6) Neck or facelifting surgery7) liposuction to neck fatI suggest you see an expert to determine what is best for you.  Dr. Emer.

Kybella works below the skin so acne won’t interfere with your treatments.  You have good skin elasticity which is important for Kybella 

Dear  SunshineANDfreckles,Kybella typically takes 3 to 5 treatments to work. This is why I've stopped carrying Kybella in my office.  I recommend neck liposuction more often then any injectable procedure for the neck now. It provides superior results gives me more control over the area than any injectable.  It also costs about the same as what you paid for your first kybella session. The liposuction can be done under local while awake in the office and recovery is about the same as kybella.Daniel Barrett, MD

Kybella can be used in patients with chronic acne as long as the patients do not have an acute flare or active infections. The kybella should be injected through an area away from injections and since it in the fat layer, should not directly affect the acne in the dermis. That being said, the acne should be controlled withe medications or topical treatments prior to any Kybella treatments. Hope this helps!

Although your acne extends to the jawline and just below it should not affect the treatment with Kybella. I prefer to treat the acne before using Kybella.

Hello,Kybella injections are under the skin so it should not affect the acne. Having said that, you need a formal in-office consultation to evaluate that.Looking at photo, the area is quite extensive and involving jawline too. Kybella may not be the best choice. you would need 3 sessions minimum, long recovery period, and yet may not offer optimum results.Liposuction with quick recovery under local anesthesia and takes care of chin and neck fat.All the BestRay Bayati, MDSacramento Area, California
