Can Kybella be used to treat uneven results after liposuction or coolsculpting on the abdomen? (photo)

Question

What would be a better way to correct the indentations? Fat graft or fat dissolving?

Ross A. Clevens, MD, FACS · Answer

Thank you for your question. SculpSure is the best option to dissolve fat in the tummy and flanks. It is the only FDA approved laser that can eliminate up to 25% of subcutaneous fat in a short 25-minute in-office treatment. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Best wishes,

Not only is it not FDA approved for the abdomen(we use lots of medications off label in medicine, but can be controversial), but you need the "dent" filled back in with some fat grafting likely in addition to some fat equalization in the areas adjacent to the dent.

John L. Burns Jr., MD · Answer

Based on the photo you submitted, I would suggest fat grafting to the depressed area around your umbilicus.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I would recommend a combination approach for irregularities including: coolsculpting/vanquish for further fat removal, exilis/venus legacy for skin tightening, cellutone/z wave to make the skin smooth, remove scar tissue, and improve the skin's appearance. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for
your question Kiki 2017. Kybella is
the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for
the double chin. Indentations can sometimes occur after Cool Sculpting or surgery. These are best treated with some form of skin tightening treatment or other modality such as Sculp Sure of radiofrequency. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
