Turkey neck regarding sagging skin
Answer: Kybella for turkey neck Kybella is best used to treat the submental fat under your chin. I would not recommend using Kybella if you have excess skin on your neck as it could make the loose skin look worse. I would recommend looking into a neck lift or Ulthera for tightening the skin so you can get rid of your “turkey neck.” Good luck.

Answer: Kybella for turkey neck This is a great question. Since Kybella is such a new treatment, patients are still trying to educate themselves on what sort of results can be expected. Kybella is an FDA approve injectable treatment for submental fat (the fat under the chin). Kybella destroys the unwanted fat cells and over the next couple of months you will see the results. While Kybella gets rid of the fat, it cannot tighten loose skin, as in the turkey neck appearance you are referring to. A turkey neck is most likely still best addressed with facelift/neck lift surgery. I would need to examine you in person to give you my final recommendations.

Answer: Kybella Question Thank you for your question. Kybella is FDA approved to dissolve fat in the submental region, which lies just below the skin. This will help to improve a 'turkey neck', if you have excess fat in this area. However, if you have muscle bands, also called platysmal banding, in the neck this may need to be addressed as well. Platysmal banding can be addressed with a necklift and/or a facelift. Be sure to consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who has experience with Kybella. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Answer: Kybella Kybella is meant to dissolve excess fat not to treat skin laxity. Schedule a consult with a practitioner that is experienced in assessing the neck anatomy and the need for Kybella. He/She should be able to recommend the best treatment for you. Occasionally, patients come in seeking Kybella when an alternative treatment may be more appropriate. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Can Kybella be used for turkey neck as well? Thank you for sharing your question. Unfortunately patient's with already sagging skin of the neck will not benefit from Kybella and are best served with a formal neck lift procedure. Kybella works by reducing the amount of adipose tissue present in the area below the chin but can not tighten loose skin. Hope this helps.
