I have little fat at the side of my mouth towards my chin. Can Kybella be used for this?
Answer: Kybella jowls Kybella is a dynamic product with broad capabilities, including off label and off the face. It truly is surgery in a bottle, with permanent removal of fat - the main alternative treatment being liposuction. I have always used Kybella to not just treat the area directly under the chin, but to blend it in to the lateral neck and jawline. This yields a more natural and thorough treatment. The only time I use the cookie cutter grid is when I am teaching other physicians how to use it, which you can see in the attached video. With the ability to treat broad area, it is easy to customize a Kybella treatment to match your exact goals, needs and anatomy. It can take multiple treatments, but I tend to get towards final results after two treatments, and the second treatment can be even more custom tailored to achieve that final result. Liposuction can achieve results with one treatment, but does not allow for the fine-tuning when needed, so which treatment will be best for you will depend on a discussion with your surgeon. To ensure you are receiving the highest level of care, seek out a modernly trained, new-school dermatologic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, facial plastic surgeon or plastic surgeon who is board certified and fellowship trained in one of these "core four" cosmetic specialties. Membership in organizations like the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery help to identify a highly trained surgeon. Cameron Chesnut #realself500 Physician

Answer: Kybella for jowls Hi, I would not recommend Kybella for the jowls , as Kybella is currently FDA approved for the submental fat under you chin. I would recommend a skin tightening and fat reduction treatment for your jowls. Thermi Smooth Face is an excellent procedure for reducing fat cells and skin tightening. It is non invasive, non surgical , no pain and zero down time-- its around the same price of Kybella. With your best look in mind, Dr. Elyse S. Rafal

Answer: Moreover, it does not seem that you have fat deposits, but instead sagging skin. Kybella is FDA approved for submental fat and I would not recommend any off label use. Moreover, it does not seem that you have fat deposits, but instead sagging skin. I advise you to look into fillers, Botox and lasers or RF devices for skin tightening. Make an appointment with experienced provider to get examined and create adequate treatment plan. Good luck!

Answer: Kybella for jowls Thank you for your question PT567. I am sorry to hear about your situation. Kybella is the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double chin. Kybella can be used in other areas off label. The jowls is an example of such as area where some doctors inject Kybella. I do not place Kybella in this area because it is close to the marginal mandibular nerve. If a needle hits this nerve it can lead to a temporary asymmetric smile. I prefer placing Voluma in the mid face to lift the lower face and help with jowls. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: Botox & Fillers Kybella is not the right treatment for your issue. It is for fat under the chin while your "jowls" are from skin that is suffering the effects of gravity. Speak with a board certified plastic surgeon about Botox and fillers. They are the right non-surgical choice for jowls.
