Answer: Kybella does work for under eye fat pads Hello and thanks for posting. This would be considered an off-label use of Kybella. This means the FDA has not approved Kybella for reduction of fat in this location. That said, Kybella does work to dissolve under eye fat pads and studies are underway. It must be used in very small dosages in this location because of the potential for significant swelling. The best approach is to use very small amounts of Kybella, evaluate for swelling, and plan to dissolve the fat over a series of conservative treatment sessions. Another approach is to simply leave the fat pad in place and use facial fillers to feather in around the fat pad and camouflage it. I hope that this information helps and best of luck to you!

Answer: Kybella treatment for fat around the eyes? Kybella is FDA approved for use in the submentum (below chin). In my opinion, Kybella should not be used for fat around the eyes until more research is available.
