I understand that other lipid dissolving injections are regularly used in Asia for periorbital fat issues and not just the V-line area. I am seeking a doctor in the US who is familiar with the use of such a product for fat around the eye area and / or who is transitioning from Lipodissolve to this new, more efficient product for this purpose.
Answer: Kybella -- FDA approved for Submental Fat, Non Surgical Option But Still New Kybella is a form of a liver salt that is synethic and works to damage fat cells when it is injected into them. In the clinical trials, 2 treatments a month apart had close to 50% improvement in fat reduction with some neck skin tightening/lifting (but this was a secondary outcome). More treatments, gave more improvement. In general it will take 4-6 treatments to get close to 75%+ improvement in most patients. There is pain and swelling during and after injection that can last a few hours to a few weeks/months. I suggest a formal consultation with a physician who is trained and speaks on neck rejuvenation, contouring and lifting. I am one of the few Kybella injection trainers and the majority of my practice is facial and body rejuvenation by fat removal surgical and non surgical options. Some people may benefit better from surgical lipocontouring and get more jawline and lower face improvement, as well as neck lifting, quickly -- within 3 days after the procedure. Kybella is not FDA approved to use in other areas other than the fat pad under the chin/submental area, and use in other areas could be unsafe. Again, please see an expert if you are considering treatment with this new medication. It does offer a great advance in our ability to reduce fat and contour the face. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Peri-orbital fat with Kybella 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.
