Can my family physician aquire Kybella and administer the product ? How many vials does it require for the chin?

Thank you for your question Aresbany, legally yes your family physician can administer Kybella if he or she has completed Kybella training. However they may not be experts injectors and are not aesthetics experts. For best results consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Board Certified Dermatologist. 









All the best,

Thank you for sharing your excellent question.  Kybella can be administered by a licensed physician that completes the requisite training, but as with most treatments I would recommend you consult with a specialist in order to maximize your results.  Most patients average 3 treatment sessions with an average of 2 vials per session.  Hope this helps.

Kybella is a treatment you should see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon or Dermatologist for.  It is treatment that requires knowledge of the facial and neck anatomy.  Be sure your physician has experience injecting Kybella so that it is done safely.  Best of luck! 

Kybella should only be administered by a trained professional in this treatment. You will want to see an expert in order to get the best results. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question aresbany. Kybella is the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical
injectable treatment for the double chin. Kybella can be administered by any physician which has appropriate training. A series of 2-4 treatments is recommended, sometimes up to 6 treatments. I treat my patients every 3 months. Results are seen slowly over time. Patience is important. We usually use 2 vials per treatment. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

You definitely want to see a trained specialist for your Kybella treatments. The efficacy of your results is greatly dependent on the skill and expertise of your injector. Hope this helps.Kindly,Kouros Azar

From a legal perspective a family physician is able to inject Kybella as long as they are trained and certified.  However, the assessment and treatment is highly individualized and not every patient will have the same treatment plan.  I would recommend pursuing treatment from a provider who specializes in facial aesthetics to ensure optimal outcome.  Other factors need to be evaluated and discussed such as fat reduction, skin elasticity/retraction, and expected outcomes before proceeding with treatment.

Be careful- this is a product that must be administered properly to avoid complications, use the correct amount of product, and you need to be a perfect candidate for this treatment.  Submittal fat is treated very well, lateral fat cannot be treated depending on the extent of the fat, we use coolsculpting and Kybella combined for this.  Fat is not only in the neck, but in the sheaths around the nerve cells.  I would see someone that offers CoolMini & Kybella so that you are given the best options for your antomy, safety, and budget.

Hello,

I am sure your family physician can acquire Kybella after the proper training. You want to make sure to have an experienced injector inject your kybella. Without the knowledge of the facial and neck anatomy and the injecting technique there can be complications. Hope this is helpful. Dr Faraz

The answer is probably yes but I must emphasize that it is important that you get treated by an experienced injector.
