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!
