Question

How large of an area can kybella treat?

Barbara Padilla, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question! Kybella is FDA cleared to improve the appearance of moderate to severe fat below the chin.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

​It takes a series of treatments to get good results with Kybella. Keep in mind, Kybella is good for dissolving the submental fat under the chin area while contouring the jawline and making the chin more defined, but a combination approach is needed to get the most improvement with non-invasive options. I recommend a combination approach with Thermage, Ultherapy, and Exilis.

InMode FaceTite / AccuTite with VASER Neck Liposuction is the best option for contouring and tightening the chin, neck, and jawline area. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer​​

Kybella is currently FDA-approved to reduce fat under the chin.  The size of this area will be different for different people.  A larger area to treat will require using more Kybella, but there is not really a limit to the size of the area that can be treated.

Milan Shah, MD · Answer

Kybella is typically used to treat small to moderate areas of fat, such as the submental region (double chin). The injection is targeted to dissolve fat cells in specific areas, and its effectiveness can vary for different individuals. It’s essential to consult with a skilled healthcare professional to determine the appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs and goals.

Hi there! Typically we recommend Kybella to reshape small pockets of fat such as the submental area, or axillary fat. Even for these smaller areas, typically 2-4 vials are needed on average. For a larger surface area such as the abdomen or flanks, we would recommend a procedure like lipodissolve or Coolsculpting.
