Lipodissolve vs Kybella. Is there a difference in these two products?

Question

Is there a difference in these two products? Result wise? Does one work better over the other? Why does no one offer Lipo Dissolve as a solution to fat under the chin? Which is the better way to go? I've heard so much controversy over these two and I'd like to know what the doctors think.

Luis Mario Salazar, MD · Answer

Lipodissolve can be done with different products at different dosis, both procedures work and both require sessions. Kybella is approved by FDA for double chin, but its sometimes used in other areas in the right hands of an experienced injector gives you great results in areas like face, arms, bra roll, banana roll, abdominal flanks and inner thighs. Wherever you have stubborn fat, difficult to be removed doing diet and exercise this is one of the best options before start thinking in surgery.

Kybella is FDA approved only for submittal fat injections containing deoxycholic acid used to dissolve fat in in the "double chin" area.  Lipodissolve is a compounded product, not FDA approved, usually containing both phosphatidylcholine and deoxycholic acid and is injected into areas of localized fat in many areas of the body.  In my experience both seem to be effective and safe.  Lipdissolve has been used in the US for over 20 years before Kybella was officially approved by the FDA. Lipodissolve is usually compounded with higher concentrations of deoxycholic acid.
