I am about to do a surgery on the tip of my nose and while wanting to do the Kybella, neck fat reduction at the same time (days apart). Will this be ok or is there any conflict of interest between the 2 ? And what would you recommend i do first, if so? Thank you intelligent doctors!

Answer: Rhinoplasty with Kybella Yes its Ok to have a rhinoplasty and do Kybella at the same time. I am not sure I see the logic in this though. If you are going to have rhinoplasty and it will take one to two weeks to heal and rest. Why not just have liposuction of the neck and be done with the excess fat of the neck. Liposuction takes 1-2 weeks to heal as well. Kybella needs any where from 3-6 shots done one month apart and would have 2 weeks of induration and numbness of the skin. Kybella is for people who are not having any surgery and don't have time to sit around and heal.

Answer: Rhinoplasty and neck liposuction simultaneously Kybella has several limitations which include the fact that it will be necessary to inject it 3-4 times with swelling in the neck noted for several weeks afterwards with each application. In addition, the sub- platysmal fat cannot be removed with injections. Consider liposuction at the same time as the rhinoplasty as a potential alternative which can remove fat throughout the entire jawline and neck. In addition, consider the total cost for both Kybella and Liposuction. For many examples of both procedures, please see the link and the video below
