I’ve had multiple sessions of Kybella but I’m still unhappy with my jawline. I am 30yo, 115lbs, and 5’2”, so I’m fairly petite and skinny. Yet, I have all this extra fat (and skin) under my neck that’s ruining my jawline. What do you recommend I do? Should I do a neck lift or chin lipo or something else? What will give me the best results? I’m concerned that simply removing fat with lipo will give me the same minimal results as Kybella did. But am I too young for a neck lift?
Answer: Jawline Definition / Jawline Enhancement / Facial Sculpting / Facial Contouring -- injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa For a more defined jawline to strengthen your profile (and help prevent the dreaded jawline "jowl" sagging), we use injectable fillers like Revanesse Versa - a filler known to limit swelling and give subtle, soft enhancements - or Radiesse. Using a cannula to limit pain and swelling, we inject on the bone in strategic points to get more lift and shaping, resulting in a more contoured lower face and defined, structured jawline. I would suggest getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Kybella didn’t work for me. Should I get chin lipo, a neck lift, or something else? = Possibly When kybella doesn't work on patients with double chin, with good skin elasticity and no soggy neck skin ( turkey neck), liposuction is a great option to get rid off the double chin and enhance the jaw line. In my practice, this procedure is routinely performed under local anesthesia as an outpatient office procedure. The downtime is minimal and the results are virtually immediate. If patients have saggy neck skin in addition of double chin, then another different procedures (in addition to chin liposuction) like NeckTite or neck light might be necessary to address these physical findings.

Answer: Chin Liposuction with Renuvion Jplasma dermal tightening Hello and thank-you for sharing your question. Liposuction and Jplasma powered by Renuvion (cold plasma energy to tighten skin) of the chin and neck produces consistently great results for appropriate candidates. I think this would be a great option for you. I would suggest an in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon well-versed in all aspects of facial rejuvenation in your area to learn about your options. Best wishes, Andrew Lyos MD, FACS

Answer: Unhappy with Kybella Kybella has its role in facial cosmetic surgery, but many times doctors who perform Kybella don’t do surgery. Is this the case with you? I suggest you see an experienced facial plastic surgeon who can offer other procedures for neck contouring. Laser assisted treatments such as Precision TX is a minimally invasive procedure that can remove fat and tighten skin. A newer treatment is available called Renuvion Jplasma which can be combined with liposuction to improve neck contour. Inquire about these. I wish you the best!

Answer: Kybella Thank you for your question. There are plenty of surgical and non-surgical options, in addition to Kybella, that can create a more refined chin and jawline. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine your candidacy. The laser-assisted weekend necklift can create a more refined jawline with a recovery period as short as 1 weekend. Best wishes,
