I have 3 weeks off coming up, and my main objective is to travel (most likely somewhere tropical) but I also want to get rid of my under chin fat. My 2 options are: 1) get kybella in SF same day I fly out, then travel 3 weeks, and go to work. I am concerned abt swelling and discomfort. It's also more expensive, and slower. 2) travel 2 weeks, then fly to tijuana, get chin lipo, spend a week somewhere in MX recovering (but can't swim or get a lot of sun) then go back to work a week later.

Answer: Kybella Dear Exquisite4490, 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.

Answer: Kybella Hello... Thank you for your questions and photos. Based on your photos, it seems that you would be a better candidate for Kybella than lipo. With Kybella, it will take a series of treatments spread out over time. You will also have a lot of swelling after Kybella injections so make sure to keep this in mind. Lipo might be a bit excessive, as you don't have a lot of fat in the double chin area. Best of luck!
