Can you do Kybella and jowl fillers at the same time?

Question

Andrew T. Lyos, MD, FACS · Answer

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.

Kouros Azar, MD · Answer

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.
