New Fat melting injection called ATX-101.. Will this be the future of nose jobs ?

Kybella is FDA indicated for submental fullness.  I would hesitate to use this on the nose until it is further studies.  At the moment reducing the nose in any capacity is usually more of a surgical procedure.  Some nose concerns, however, can be addressed with injectable fillers.  I would recommend that you visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your area to address your concerns and see if there are non-invasive options for you.

Most cosmetic nasal corrections are typically surgical  interventions, although  occasionally fillers can make improvements in some cases. Kybella is FDA- approved as a  non-surgical injection treatment  for improving the appearance of moderate to severe
submental fullness, commonly referred to as double chin.#Kybellafatdestruction   #fatdestructioninjectables    #treatingchinfat

Kybella is a synthetic
form of deoxycholic acid, which is something naturally produced in our own
body. Deoxycholic acid produced in the body helps absorb fat cells.
Kybella is a cytolytic drug, which when injected into tissue physically destroys
the cell membrane. When properly injected into submental fat, Kybella destroys
fat cells getting rid of unwanted double chin fat.  This makes it a perfect non-surgical option to LiposuctionAs with Kybella, other non-surgical options for shaping noses - such as fillers- are options to surgery.#Kybellafatdestruction   #Kybellachinfat    #Kybellavsliposuction

Dear Access19,Medicine is reaching a fascinating pinnacle of achievement whereby technological advancements are enabling surgeons and physicians to perform procedures that were otherwise impossible. The development of Kybella is a great example as is my pioneering Platelet Healing Gel which harnesses Platelet Rich Plasmas and my innovation for the Weekend Necklift that utilizes lasers. I imagine that Rhinoplasty will become more efficient by welcoming lasers, perhaps by adopting some of the innovation afforded by Kybella and may even benefit from advancements in 3-D printing technology. Amidst the exciting developments of the 21st century, it is hard to say for certain the advancements we will experience and I am very excited just as you are.

Thank you for your question. Kybella is an FDA approved substance that reduces submental or under the chin fat. It is not approved for any other area. You should be leary of any doctor who offers Kybella at this point "Off-Label".It is very new, without a long history, and a Doctor using it for any other area would be experimenting on you as they likely have not had any experience with any other area.Best wishes.

Kybella is a form of a liver salt that is syntheic and works to damage fat cells when it is injected into them. In the clinical trials, 2 treatments a month apart had close to 50% improvement in fat reduction with some neck skin tightening/lifting (but this was a secondary outcome). More treatments, gave more improvement. In general it will take 4-6 treatments to get close to 75%+ improvement in most patients. There is pain and swelling during and after injection that can last a few hours to a few weeks/months. I suggest a formal consultation with a physician who is trained and speaks on neck rejuvenation, contouring and lifting. I am one of the few Kybella injection trainers and the majority of my practice is facial and body rejuvenation by fat removal surgical and non surgical options. Some people may benefit better from surgical lipocontouring and get more jawline and lower face improvement, as well as neck lifting, quickly -- within 3 days after the procedure. Kybella is not FDA approved to use in other areas other than the fat pad under the chin/submental area, and use in other areas could be unsafe. Again, please see an expert if you are considering treatment with this new medication. It does offer a great advance in our ability to reduce fat and contour the face. Only a select number of physicians will be injecting this medication at the beginning. It is not useful for nasal cartilage or nasal reconstruction. Best, Dr. Emer.

I am at the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons meeting in Montreal right now and just had a long discussion with the Kybella people. They will reveal the costs in 2 months but it will be comparable to the cost of chin liposuction. They do not have FDA approval or studies for use anywhere else on the face. It will be widely available in July or August. Can't wait!With the very little fat in the nose, I don't see a use for Kybella in the nose.

ATX-101 is a formulation of deoxycholic acid which can dissolve fat. ATX-101 would be totally inappropriate and unpredictable in the nose.  Rhinoplasty is a technique to reshape bone and cartilage in the nose, which contains relatively little fat. 

Aesthetic nasal correction  are more traditionally  surgical interventions, although  some available  fillers can make improvements to contouring. Kybella is FDA -approved for submental chin fat destruction only at this time. The safety and effectiveness of its use on other parts of the body have not been studied.

Kybella is FDA approved for reduction of submental fat under the chin. While in the future it may be able to treat other parts of the body, the nose will not likely be one of them. The nose is mostly made of cartilage and bone, not fat. For now, “non-surgical nose jobs” can be done with fillers to temporarily change the shape of the nose, and anything more dramatic will require surgical intervention.
