I'm in my 60's, always had chubby cheeks even though I've always been thin. Now in my sixties, I am lucky to not have so many wrinkles, but sagging jowls, I have. Two doctors have told me it's fat and if I get 3 treatments of Kybella on jowls, my jowls will disappear, they say it's just fat weighing my jowls down... Is this true? My fear is it will dissolve the fat, but leave loose skin hanging there.
Answer: Neck Sagging/Fat - VASERlipo, FaceTite/AccuTite, Morpheus8/Fractora, Neck Lift/Platysmaplasty; Kybella, Thermage, Ultherapy For a double chin, InMode FaceTite with VASERlipo would give you the best result.With significant neck sagging you would need a facelift / neck lift with muscle tightening (platysmaplasty). At the same time, I would recommend lasers (Fraxel, CO2, or Erbium) and microneedling RF (Fractora, Morpheus8, Intensif) to improve the crepey skin and wrinkles. Overall, the neck can be treated with a combination approach:

Answer: Kybella While Kybella could help, it is hard to say without seeing your face from a profile view. If there is fat under your chin and around your jaw, Kybella or CoolSculpting could be an option. You may need a PDO thread lift if there is sagging skin once the fat is dissolved.

Answer: Kybella and It is difficult to give you any advice when there are no photos. Generally when you are in your 60's there is both facial sagging and in your case fat in that area. You may need a combination of Thermage FLX for skin tightening and Kybella to treat the fat in the jowls. Please consult an expert in these treatments for the best cosmetic results. Best, Dr. Green

Answer: Kybella in the jowl area, good or not so good? If you're in your 60s and you have significant jowls, a facelift procedure is going to be required. In our practice, a lower face and neck lift accomplishes tightening loose facial and neck skin, tightening loose facial and neck muscles, lifting the jowls, and removing fatty deposits in the neck in addition to a platysma-plasty. Kybella is not very effective, must be treated multiple times with significant swelling after each procedure, and placement of it in the jowls is off label from the FDA.
