Hi, I went to two different consultations for Kybella. The first doctor told me Kybella wouldn't work for me, as the issue was with my jaw placement and not chin fat. The second doctor told me Kybella would work perfectly for me and recommended I start with 6 vials for my first treatment. She said this would lower my need for additional treatments and I would likely only need one more with only 1-2 vials. Is this normal?
Answer: Chin Contouring with VASER, ThermiRF, Coolsculpting, Kybella, Thermage, Ultherapy, Exilis Thank you for your question. I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates, but Kybella can be used as an alternative and gets better results when combined with thermage/ultherapy/exilis or coolsculpting. Kybella alone is good for dissolving the submental fat under the chin area while contouring the jawline and making the chin more defined. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Kybella Dear miissbecca,Kybella typically takes 3 to 5 treatments to work. This is why I've stopped carrying Kybella in my office. I recommend neck liposuction more often then any injectable procedure for the neck now. It provides superior results gives me more control over the area than any injectable. It also costs about the same as what you paid for your first kybella session. The liposuction can be done under local while awake in the office and recovery is about the same as kybella.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: SculpSure Submental Thanks for your question and posting pictures. We have discontinued Kybella in our practice for melting submental fat. The FDA recently approved the SculpSure laser for treating submental fat (double chins). It is a quick 25 minute, completely non-invasive treatment. In the FDA study, the participants had 100% satisfaction after 1 or 2 treatments. If you look at the Kybella FDA studies, there is high satisfaction after an average of 6 treatments. I did SculpSure recently and it was only mildly uncomfortable. I had no noticeable swelling. With Kybella, you will have noticeable swelling for 1-4 weeks. Best of luck.
