Hello and thank you for your question! I would recommend a consultation with a board certified provider that can discuss your desired outcome and the different options they have to offer. Kybella is a great resource for submental fat. At our office we would typically consider coolscultping versus kybella and treat this area first. The removal of the submental fat may also cause some definition of your jawline to enhance slightly once the submental fat is addressed, especially with the coolscultping since the applicators can be placed more strategically. After the edema has subsided, you would then return for the other treatment regarding your jowls. This area may also be addressed with euro threads as well as filler or ultherapy. Your options are many, therefore a consultation with a board certified provider will best help would reach your desired outcome. I hope this information helps and best of luck to you!
Kybella is approved to reduce fat in the submental area, which is below the chin. Normally, fillers to improve the jowls would be placed in a different, but nearby area. I would not see any problem having both injections done at the same time, but not all physicians may feel the same.
The simple answer is yes- you are able to do kybella and fillers during the same treatment. It is best to consult with a Board Certified Dermatologist or Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who specialize in injectables. I often inject both Kybella and HA fillers during the same treatment. Often you have to provide your patient with a complete and comprehensive treatment plan. It is not always just one product needed to do the job.
Kybella can melt the submental fat and cause some tightening. Usually I prefer to see the effect of the kybella first as it may change how much filler will be needed in the jowls. So to answer your question, I recommend to do them weeks apart.
Since you are talking about treating two different areas, no, there should not be a problem getting both Kybella and filler to the jowls at the same time. Make sure to see a board certified plastic surgeon or cosmetic dermatologist with a lot of filler experience.
Thank you for your question. Kybella is an injectable product that can be used to help your body to rid itself of fat cells that form under the chin. Jowl fillers are typically done in a different area. I don’t see a problem in having both done at the same time. Please make sure you seek treatment from a board-certified dermatologist.
This is a really good question. I would have the kybella ( Belkyra) treatment first . This will also help define the chin and starts the process of defining the jaw line. You may find then that you don't need as much filler to help pull back the jowls.Another concern is if you inject the double chin and the jaw line filler on the same day ,the inflammation caused by the Kybella ( Belkyra) could easily lead to hardening of the filler. In Australia we don't inject a face with filler if there is any active facial inflammation as we have seen hardening of the filler. This may be a coincidence but we are taking precautions to prevent any problems with the filler. I hope this answers your question
Kybella is FDA indicated for the submental area. Although, it is not indicated for the jowls some doctors treat this area with Kybella successfully but the jowls can be a danger zone as the marginal mandibular nerve courses superficially in this area.
Sorry but to me your question makes no sense? Jowls need lifting not filling. But since you did not post any self pics very hard to advise..Please post pics to we can offer you some guidance..>>>>>>>
This is really a great question. As we continue to use Kybella, we are learning that it not only causes destruction of the fat cells, but skin tightening through the inflammatory process which occurs. Those compounds you mentioned do not affect blood supply, but rather reduce the inflammatory...
YES. I would always suggest going to a physician for medical procedures such as Kybella. Knowing the anatomy is critical to avoid complications such as injury to the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve.
Some swelling is typical after Kybella, but sun exposure won't negatively impact your results. Sun protection is always essential. Keep in mind, Kybella is good for dissolving fat under the chin, but a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with non-invasive options. I re...
I was an investigator in the original Kybella trials and thus have been using it for several years. In our center, we have begun injecting Kybella to treat jowls and have a great deal of success in this area. You are correct – this is an off-label use. It takes a great deal of skill and kn...
In looking at your photos, you probably have some fat behind the muscle under the chin that will not be dissolved by Kybella. To some degree, if you are satisfied with the improvement, you can continue with further Kybella treatment. If you want to eliminate the double chin in a more...
Kybella is made of deoxycholic acid, which is what dissolves the fat, removing it from the submental area and jowls permanently. Diluting it with saline would make it less effective and raises the risk of bruising. As others have mentioned, some dermatologists add a bit of lidocaine to make the...
