Can one get chin lipo AFTER Kybella?

Question

Would the results be as good? And would the procedure be the same or more invasive or require more anesthesia?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Yes, you can get liposuction after Kybella. I find that VASER liposuction in combination with ThermiRF are best for contouring the chin in those who are candidates. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a facial sculpting expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Kybella works well for people who have fat deposits in the chin area. In order to get a good result, the skin around the neck should have good tone. Kybella is an alternate treatment for people who don't want surgery. It is an in office procedure. It takes two or more sessions to get results. Patient have inflammation and swelling for a few days after treatment. Kybella treatments can cost $2000 or more.
Liposuction can be done after Kybella. The cost range can be between $1500-3000 depending on your market. It is a procedure that is done in one treatment. Swelling can last for a week or two. It can be done under general anesthesia or twilight sedation.
If you are ok with surgery, my advice is to go with liposuction. The cost is about the same and you only need one treatment and one recovery time. If you do not like the idea of surgery, Kybella is an alternative treatment.

Yes. It is perfectly safe to have liposuction performed under the chin following a Kybella treatment. Liposuction is the gold standard for fat removal but it is surgery so there will be more downtime/recovery involved.

Hi There, 
Kybella is synthetic deoxycholic acid. This drug causes fat cells to rupture when injected into the tissue. Without photos it is difficult to tell if this would be the best option, however, if you are considering liposuction, Kybella would not be a necessary step prior to the procedure. If you have already had Kybella and are unhappy with the results, liposuction is still an option for you.
Hope this helps,

Hello and Thank you for the question. 
Yes you can definitely have liposuction after Kybella. I would wait about 6-8 weeks after your last Kybella injection before proceeding with liposuction. 
Good Luck and hope this helps.
