Kybella for Periorbital Fat?

Kybella is an exciting new FDA- approved
treatment for submental fullness, or  a double chin. Kybella (Deoxycholic Acid) is
injected into the fat pad under the chin for permanent results. Often 2
or 3 treatments are needed to completely contour the chin and remove the
unwanted fat. A skillfully trained provider can determine if you are a
candidate for Kybella vs other surgical neck procedures.  The procedure is safe and effects are evident
even after one treatment!  At this time, the treatments are recommended only for fat under the chin.#Kybellafatinjections    #doublechin   #Kybellatreatments

I would not use Kybella for the removal of the peri-orbital fat at this time.  I would definitely wait until there is an FDA approved product in this area given the importance of neighboring anatomic structures (namely the eyeball).  There are some companies, however, that are looking into this so stay tuned.

Kybella is only FDA
approved to treat submental fullness under the chin, and should not be used in
any other areas of the face or body.Unfortunately, using Kybella to treat other fatty deposits such as near
or around the eyes carries a high risk of nerve damage in this highly sensitive
area.To minimize any potential risks from
Kybella treatments, it is critical that it only be used in the manner in which
it was intended—to permanently eliminate fatty deposits under the chin—and that
it be administered by a Board Certified plastic surgeon with detailed knowledge
of facial anatomy.
