Yes, Kybella is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that aides in the destruction of fat cells in the part of the body that it is injected into. It’s made to treat moderate to severe convexity or fullness associated with submental fat in adults. Typically there needs to be 4 treatments to see the full effect of the Kybella.Kybella is good for dissolving fat under the chin, but a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with non-invasive options. I recommend a combination approach with thermage, ultherapy, exilis. VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF is the best alternative for contouring the chin and can be performed with a neck lift, if you're a candidate. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer
Kybella is amazing for the submental area but not FDA approved for the other areas of the face that you are asking about. Since it is not FDA approved there is no certainty about the dosage or the areas that are safe to inject and I would not recommend it at this time. I use Kybella a lot and combine it with Thermage for the best cosmetic results for skin tightening and lifting the jowls and reducing submental fat. Best, Dr. Green
