Interested in Kybella for cheeks. Would compression be recommended?

SoCal212Aug 14, 2021

Kybella is uniquely developed to chemically destroy fat under the chin. CoolSculpting uses fat "freezing" to reduce the amount of fat as well, without the need for injections. Both have proven results. Kybella tends to be well appreciated by patients who are suitable candidates.
