Can Kybella be done on someone who is skinny and doesn't quite have a double chin but just some unflattering fat down there?

You don't have to have an actual double chin to benefit from Kybella. Just a small amount of fat can be unflattering and is easily removed with one or two treatments of Kybella's deoxycholic acid – a natural substance found in human bile. The procedure takes less than 5 minutes in most cases. You will have some swelling afterward and it may take up to a month or more to appreciate your results, but my patients have been thrilled with the difference Kybella makes to their profiles. Please consult a board-certified dermatologist to find out if you are a candidate for Kybella.

Thank you for your question and sharing your concerns. Kybella could be a great option for you as it can be customized to address small areas pockets of fat under the chin.  A physical exam would help determine the dosing and the pattern anticipation that is needed to get you the best results. I would recommend that you visit with an experienced Kybella injector who can discuss your options in more detail.

Thank you for your excellent question.From your description, you are not only an excellent candidate, but are the exact type of patient Kybella injections should be used on. Kybella will not only eliminate that unflattering submental fat under your chin, but will also cause retraction of the skin quite nicely.At this time, I recommend you consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon experienced in Kybella injections.

Yes, you are likely an ideal candidate for Kybella. Many people have a genetic fullness under the chin but are otherwise thin. Since you have a small, focal area of fat deposition you would likely require less Kybella per treatment, less swelling, and fewer treatments. I have had very nice results treating small areas under the chin with Kybella. Please consult a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is a trained Kybella injector. Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. It's difficult to give exact recommendations without photos, but generally speaking Kybella seems to be a great option to address your concern. Kybella is a series of injections that will remove fat in the submental (or double chin) area. You will need to have a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon for precise recommendations and assessments. 

Yes, you are probably the best type of candidate for Kybella.  Kybella works best for patients with relatively small isolated pockets of fat in the submental area.  Patients with large amounts of fullness in the submental, neck, and jawline area are actually best served with submental liposuction.  Kybella is quick, relatively pain free, and non-surgical - which means no downtime.  The disadvantage is that you will likely experience significant swelling in the area of injection for a week or so.  Good luck

Kybella can be done, and is frequently done, on people who are normal weight but have some excess fat under the chin.  An exam or photos would be needed to determine if you might be a good candidate for the procedure though.  

You would be an excellent candidate for Kybella which is a simple and relatively painless office procedure to treat fat under your chin.

Thank you for
your question mghazi11. Kybella is
the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for
the double chin. It is difficult to make an assessment without photographs. The double chin can be the result of age, weight gain, or genetics. In all of these cases Kybella may provide benefit. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Yes, it sounds like you are the perfect candidate for kybella. It typically takes a few treatments but if there is a discrete pocket, it will, will the correct number of treatments and amount, completely go away so that your profile is just flat! Good luck and I hope this helps!
