Kybella and Ulthera in same visit or wait to complete treatments and see results of Kybella then do Ulthera? (Photo)

 It is very common to have Kybella and Ultherapy on the same day. Kybella dissolves submental fat and Ultherapy will help tighten any sagging skin that may be left after the loss of volume. I generally do Ultherapy first on the same day as Kybella, and believe there may be a synergistic effect when combining both on the same day. Please see a board-certified dermatologist who has experience using Kybella and Ultherapy together.

This is very commonly done in my practice and I oftentimes will do the Ultherapy before the Kybella by 2 weeks.  They are treating two different areas as the Kybela is directly below the chin (submental region) and Ultherapy is tightening laterally.  The only reason to wait is so that the swelling from Kybella doesn't affect the treatment of Ultherapy.  The success of Ultherapy is highly dependent on tissue thickness, which swelling can impart a change in.

Seek the advice of a double board certified Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon.  They are the only true specialists in the face.

Thank you for your question. Kybella is a very effective injectible drug that provides a dramatic reduction in submental fullness due to submental fat. While you may benefit from Kybella alone, an in-person examination would be necessary to determine your need for Ultherapy as well. Always consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon.

Best wishes,

My suggestion would be do to these procedures together.  You can do ultherapy followed by kybella on the same day. I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF or ultrasound are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates, but Kybella/Ultherapy are good alternatives. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, yes, you can do Ulthera and Kybella during the same visit. We recommend doing Ulthera first, followed by Kybella (knows as Belkyra in Canada). Ulthera uses Ultrasound technology to tighten the skin and promote new collagen, while Kybella melts submental fat below the chin. This combination is excellent to reduce a double chin and tighten the area for slimmer and more defined facial contours.

 

Thank you for
your question optimisticallyme. Kybella
is the first and thus far only FDA-approved non-surgical treatment for the
double chin. Every doctor is different. If you doctor is comfortable doing both on the same day, then it would be reasonable to follow his/her recommendation. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

I often do both Kybella and Thermage on the same patient since Kybella will remove the excess fat under the neck and Thermage will tighten the jowls and skin on the face and neck.  I would recommend having the Thermage first and then the Kybella.  Best, Dr. Green

Many surgeons perform these procedures together so there is nothing to worry about in that regard. If you do decide to get the Kybella first then just make sure that all of your swelling has completely dissipated before having the Ulthera.Kindly,Kouros Azar

Kybella is a fat reduction treatment while Ultherapy is a skin tightening procedure. Combination treatment helps address both fat and skin laxity. The answer to your question would depend on how much skin laxity you have. The amount of skin laxity can only be determined with an in person evaluation. Based on the photo you have provided, you certainly appear to be a good candidate for Kybella. Same day treatment with Kybella and Ultherapy is not unreasonable. The Ultherapy should be performed prior to the Kybella injections if you are having same day treatment. 

Hello optimisticallyme,Thank you for your question and photo although in person evaluation and examination cannot be substituted for photos they were of help. The short answer is what you have been told by your doctor is true; you can have Ulthera and Kybella at the same appointment with the Ulthera being done first. The rationale given to you appeared also correct. Understand that the typical patient with Kybella will need 2-4 treatments roughly 6 six weeks apart to achieve optimal fat elimination. You also have surgical options available to help achieve your desired outcome. Best wishes.
