Would botox tighten the appearance under my chin? If I suction my mouth it looks how I'd like, but if I don't the musculature seems to hang down a bit.
Answer: Ways to Improve Chin Definition Thank you very much for your question and photographs. Botox is an excellent choice for treating dynamic wrinkles, or those caused by repetitive muscle movement and expressions. However, the injectable is not a good choice for tightening tissue along the jaw or under the chin. Kybella is an injectable treatment designed to reduce the isolated fat pockets under the chin, reducing submental fat, smoothing and lifting this tissue. For more dramatic results, a neck lift or submental fat liposuction can be used to contour the jawline. I recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. At this time, he or she can examine the submental fat and the quality of your skin, then recommend the best technique based on your individual needs and aesthetic goal.

Answer: Kybella for Jaw Line Hello, and thanks for your question. Botox is not the injectable you would use to tighten the jaw line. Kybella is a great option even if you do not have very much fullness under the chin. We have seen it work very well for improving the tightness of the jaw and improving the chin profile.Good luck!

Answer: Kybella vs Botox for submental fat Thank you for your question. Kybella is, in my opinion, the best product to treat submental fat. It's what it was made for. Kybella’s active ingredient is a naturally-occurring molecule in the body, which aids in the breakdown and absorption of dietary fat. When injected into subcutaneous fat, this molecule destroys fat cells. Once destroyed, these cells can no longer store fat and, if the desired look is achieved, more treatment is not required.

Answer: Botox for submental chin area? Kybella or liposuction No, Botox will not improve under the chin area. Both Kybella or neck liposuction are good options and will improve the double chin. It depends on your lifestyle and personality which would be better for you. Kybella is best for patients that: 1) Do not want surgery 2) Are not surgical candidates 3) Not willing to wear a compression dressing around the face for 1 week 4) Patient- The results of Kybella will take months Kybella take 1-3 treatments every 6 weeks. Patient will develop swelling and possible bruising after each injection that may last a few days. The benefit of Kybella is each treatment is quick and completed in the office. However, some patients need more than one treatment to get desired results. Neck Liposuction is best for patients that: 1) Want a single treatment 2) One recovery time- Downtime for neck liposuction require wearing a wrap around face for 1 week. 3) Less painful 4) Quicker results 5) Cost is a concern Neck liposuction is a quick surgical procedure that can be complete while the patient is awake. It cost around the same price a Kybella and can be less in patients with heavier necks. The single recovery of neck liposuction may be a better option for some patients. I hope this helps.

Answer: Skin Tightening for the neck with J Plasma, lasers, rf treatments, microneedling/prp, ultherapy, Botox, Venus legacy No, Botox will not improve this. A combination approach would give the most improvement. Kybella, PDO Nova Threads, Ultherapy and/or ThermiRF treatments (Venus Legacy) are non-invasive options that would do well in combination for skin tightening. VASER with ThermiRF is a great alternative for contouring and tightening the chin and neck and can be combined with a neck lift at the same time, if you're a candidate. See a cosmetic dermatologist for a long term treatment plan. Best, Dr. Emer.
