Answer: Kybella To Treat Lower Facial Fat sally.ca. Thank you for your question. An in person consultation is necessary to determine your best course of action. While Kybella is FDA approved for sub mental fat ( below the chin), it could be used off label to other fatty pockets. I would hesitate to use it on the lower cheek area as Kybella causes inflammation which may affect the nerves by the lower cheek area affecting facial movement and feeling.

Answer: Fat in the right places This is a good question and I get it often as I do a lot of facial and jawline sculpting. Kybella is FDA approved for the submental/double chin. That is not to say that many surgeons don't inject other places. We know where all of the nerves are in the face. Most of them have a very predictable course. It is definitely true that kybella has been know to damage nerves. For this reason I do not inject in the mid cheek/face. There are many options though however to give that sculpted defined look. See someone you trust and be clear with your goals.Hope this helps,Best of luck,DrC

Answer: Kybella in the cheeks I do not recommend using Kybella in the cheeks. Kybella is FDA-approved for use in the submental (double chin) area. Unfortunately, the facial nerve branches many times (usually not as neatly as in the anatomy books), and the branches are very small. There is no imaging technique that is useful to identify these nerves, and even if there were, Kybella spreads out through the tissues and could still affect the surrounding nerves. Cheek fat can be addressed with surgical buccal fat reduction, a facelift procedure, filler injections, fat transfer, and other methods, but Kybella would not be a safe way to address this area.Be sure to see an expert physician injector.All the best,
