I had chin filler (2+ years ago). Also, I’ve done Botox on jawline 2 months ago. Can I do Kybella?

Hi, I’m Lauren, the aesthetic injector at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. Yes, you can likely do Kybella. I always recommend starting with a consultation with a provider to develop a personalized treatment plan special to you, where you can also discuss past treatment history.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thank you for your question! Yes, you may have Kybella after Botox and filler. The contraindications for Kybella are the presence of infection at the injection sites, pregnant or breastfeeding, and trouble swallowing.

Dear cemTO,
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.

Combining different facial procedures, such as chin filler, Botox for the jawline, and Kybella, can be effective in achieving your desired aesthetic goals, but it's essential to approach each treatment with caution, particularly when considering timing and potential interactions between procedures.Kybella is an injectable treatment specifically designed to reduce submental (under the chin) fat and improve the appearance of a double chin. While Kybella targets excess fat beneath the chin, chin filler and Botox for the jawline focus on enhancing the contours of the chin and jawline through different mechanisms.Before proceeding with Kybella treatment, it's important to consult with a skilled and experienced healthcare professional who can assess your specific anatomy, medical history, and treatment goals. They can provide recommendations and guidance based on your individual needs and circumstances.In general, here are a few considerations regarding the timing of Kybella treatment in relation to your previous procedures:1. Chin Filler: Since you had chin filler over two years ago, it's likely that the filler has already been metabolized by your body. However, it's still a good idea to discuss your previous filler treatments with your healthcare provider to ensure that there are no residual effects that could impact the outcome of the Kybella treatment.2. Botox for the Jawline: Botox injections for the jawline typically target the masseter muscles to reduce their size and create a slimmer appearance in the lower face. Depending on the timing of your Botox treatment, it's important to consider whether there may be any overlap with the Kybella injections. Your healthcare provider can recommend you on the appropriate timing for these treatments based on your individual circumstances.3. Healing and Recovery: If you've recently had Botox injections for the jawline, it's essential to allow adequate time for healing and for any potential side effects to resolve before undergoing additional treatments such as Kybella. Your healthcare provider can recommend you on the recommended waiting period based on the specific Botox treatment you received.Overall, while combining treatments like chin filler, Botox, and Kybella can be effective in achieving comprehensive facial rejuvenation, it's crucial to approach each treatment thoughtfully and to work closely with a skilled healthcare provider to ensure safe and optimal results. Be sure to communicate your treatment history, goals, and any concerns with your provider during your consultation to develop a treatment plan that meets your needs.

Thank you for your question. Yes, you can do Kybella post Botox and jawline filler. It is a great adjunct treatment to contour the jawline and diminish the adipose tissue.

Neither of these three treatments have contraindications from each other. Without a picture we can’t make an assessment. Personally I find Kybella is inferior to liposuction by every standard and recommend patients have in person consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons if they have concerns over a double chin.Best,
