Will kybella injections help sagging neck muscles?

Kybella does not have any effect on platysmal bands (which you are referring to as “sagging neck muscles”).  What Kybella does is permanently eliminate excess submental fat (the “double chin”), which  can reveal prominent platysmal bands that were already present.  The reason they weren’t seen prior to the Kybella injections is because the submental fat was creating an extra layer, or barrier, between the skin’s surface and the already present underlying platysmal bands, thereby hiding them from being seen.  Botox can be used to soften the tightness of platysmal bands.  They can also be corrected surgically. 

Hope you found this answer helpful.  All the best!

Hello! Kybella is a permanent, non surgical modality used to treat unwanted fat.  The area if desired treatment will be treated with Kybella via several injections. Swelling is typical for approximately 4 days following treatment.  Typical treatment for particular area may consist of two to three treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart.  Kybella is FDA indicated for the sub mental region however we are seeing excellent outcomes in other regions such as banana roll under  buttock area as well as bra fat near axilla. 

Kybella does not do much if anything to tighten the neck muscles. Many patients have banding or laxity of the platysma muscle in the neck, and this is generally only improved with a surgical neck lift. There are many non-surgical options out there (ultrasound, radiofrequency, etc) that promise to improve muscle laxity, but patients generally see very little if any results from these. If patients are concerned with neck laxity and aren't sure if Kybella or another treatment is right for them, a consultation with a facial plastic surgeon may be helpful to review all of the possible surgical and non-surgical treatment options in detail.All the best,
