I'm thinking about getting Kybella injections to decrease sub mental fat but I think a lot of the results look 'tame'. Can Kybella give a truly dramatic transformation in the chin-neck slope and produce an acute angle like some liposuction cases?
Answer: Kybella or liposuction if a very dramatic result is needed as seen in these pictures the cost and time of kybella will be outweighed by liposuction. Kybella is great for someone that has "some fat" and not looking to go through surgery. But if more than 5-6 txt of kybella are required, then it may be best to consider liposuction. Hope that helps!

Answer: Can Kybella produce dramatic results that look identical to facial liposuction? (photos) Thank you for sharing your question. The success of any procedure depends on appropriate patient selection and Kybella and liposuction are no different. Kybella affords patients a minimally invasive method of reducing submental adipose tissue with little downtime. This convenience does come with the potential need for multiple treatments to reach a desired result but also is less flexible than liposuction. Liposuction does well in the neck with select patients and allows for removal of greater amounts of fat in a single setting. Talk to your ASPS board certified plastic surgeon to discuss which option is best for you and your lifestyle.

Answer: Kybella not equal to liposuction For relative small areas of fat under the chin Kybella can be a better choice than liposuction, but for larger cases such as in the pictures it would be unlikely. Each individual is different and so a specific answer to what is best for you requires an in-person consultation.

Answer: Can Kybella Produce Dramatic Results That Look Identical To Facial Liposuction? The short answer to the question is SOMETIMES.Kybella is excellent at removing fat, and people who have minimal to moderate fat centrally located in the submental area do as well with Kybella as they would with liposuction. Choosing the right plastic surgeon who has both experience with facial liposuction and Kybella will give you the best possible results with either procedure.Kybella has less potential complications and is less operator sensitive, i.e. is easier for non-surgeons to get a reasonable result. Obviously, since I am a surgeon, I believe plastic surgeons get the best result with either procedure. BTW, the second group of pictures that you sent show a woman who had liposuction of the neck and a chin implant. Therefore, your pictures don't compare apples to apples. I have never tried Kybella with a chin implant, but I bet the results will be close to the ones you showed.
