Getting Kybella and Botox in the same area - which do I do 1st, and how far apart do I spread it (1, 2, 3 weeks?)

Hi and thank you for your question! While Kybella is primarily used for excessive fat under the chin, in some patients it might also be used to reduce fat extending to the jawline or jowls. Injection of Botox for jaw slimming (or treatment of TMJ/bruxism) is done into the masseter muscle and hence the site of injection is distinct from the site of injection of Kybella and they are not expected to directly interfere with each other. I hope it helps and good luck!

first off botox will slim the jaw and make it more loose, this is done on the neck and masseter.  shoudl be done 7-14 days before the kybella . with kybella you should do RF treatments weeekly to help it heal and have at home LED (see link). Id suggest facetite over this.  please see an expert, you will want to do morpheus treatments regularly long term and thermage/ultherapy to maintain the results. Best, Dr. Emer.

Kybella injections are FDA-approved for use under the chin to reduce fat in that area.  There may be some doctors who use it in an off-label manner to treat other areas, such as the jawline.  I do not use it for that purpose.  There should be no interaction between Kybella injected to the jawline and Botox injected into the masseter muscles.  If you did not want to have them at the same time, I would suggest having the Botox first, as there is little to no swelling after Botox and significant swelling after Kybella.
