I have round face with double chin. What is best for me - Kybella or Botox for jawline slimming? Very confused! (Photo)

Thank you for your question.  Botox will not help in this area.  Good candidates for kybella have good skin tone and fullness in the sub mental region. You will need 3-5 treatments of kybella for good results. Each treatment usually requires 2 vials of kybella.  Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best Wishes

Thank you for your question about Kybella.Kybella is effective for reducing submental fullness, aka double chin.  Botox will not help that particular problem.To be sure what is best for you, see two or more experienced, licensed and board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment.I hope this helps.

Kybella is an injectable for dissolving fat, approved for the double chin area. Botox is a wrinkle relaxer, mostly used in the upper face.

Thank you so much for your question regarding Kybella.  Kybella
is deoxycholic acid, a naturally occurring enzyme.  Kybella is FDA
approved to treat submental fullness, double chin.  In order to achieve
the best results, we recommend treating according to Kybella template/
guidelines.  If you do not treat properly you run the risk of uneven
results.  Of course I am
not able to tell without an in person consultation if this is the correct
treatment for you and how much product is needed.  Typically two or three treatments are require to achieve the best results.
Botox injected in the masseter muscles can have a slimming result to the jawline.  However, this will not address submental fullness.
I recommend scheduling an in person consultation
with a board certified provider for a proper evaluation.   
Best of luck!

Thank you for
your question jiv111. I understand your concern. Kybella is the first and
thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double
chin. It is difficult to make an assessment with only a single photograph of a portion of the face. However if I had a patients who looks like the person in this photograph I would say she is a good candidate for Kybella. A series of 2-4 treatments is required, sometimes up to 6 treatments. I space treatments every 3 months. Results are seen slowly over time. Patience is important. To determine if someone is a candidate for Botox to contour the lower face it is necessary to see and feel the lower jaw when the patient bites down. Also being able to look at the mid-face would allow me to determine if restoring volume there with products such as Voluma would be able to pull up on the lower face and provide an enhanced appearance. Please
consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!
