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,
