Kybella for the inner thigh gap?

Thank you for your question, teliio2686. Kybella is very effective for the "double chin" and is FDA-approved for that area and that area alone. I suggest you consider SculpSure which can melt 25% of your unwanted subcutaneous fat in a 25-minute non-invasive in-office treatment whereby patients complete the treatment and walk out of our office ready to resume their ordinary activities. Please consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon. Best wishes,

Kybella is one way of achieving “thigh gap” without surgery but this is considered ‘off-label.’ However, you need a series of treatments and may have some swelling. Consulting a board-certified dermatologist will allow to decide if Kybella is the best method for you, or if you’d prefer a series of CoolSculpting treatments or one-and-done liposuction.

Thank you for your question. We have chosen not to use Kybella in our practice as it can be very costly, takes multiple treatments and tends to have moderate pain and swelling. For inner thighs the gold standard is still liposuction or coolsculpting.  These treatments will provide optimal results. I would recommend consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss options that are best fit for your body type. Best wishes. 

There is a good chance it will work there, and will eventually be approved for that location, however at this point it is only approved for use under the chin. The best solution for medial thigh fat is still liposuction. The only way to know for sure if you are a candidate is to book a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon near you. Best of luck! 

I applaud you for doing your own research on
information you hear on TV. KYBELLA is an injectable treatment approved by the
FDA specifically to reduce fat that causes a double chin. There is no clinical
study of whether it works for body contouring. CoolSculpting, on the other
hand, is FDA-cleared to treat the inner and outer thighs using special applicators.
I would suggest finding a board-certified plastic surgeon to consult with about
the best treatment for you.
