I've done 2 rounds of Kybella. The left side of my chin seems more noticeable now. Any suggestions for uneven chin fat? (Photos)

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @LJ13Love. You can try another round on Kybella with more emphasis on the side that appears to be fuller. Another great modality is Morpheus 8. Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin
tightening and lifting.

Thank you for your question. You could opt for more kybella in order to spot treat the area of fullness. Another option could entail a small amount of liposuction to the area. I hope that helps!

Dear LJ13Love,
Kybella typically takes 3 to 5 treatments to work. This is why I've stopped carrying Kybella in my office. I recommend neck liposuction more often then any injectable procedure for the neck now. It provides superior results gives me more control over the area than any injectable. It also costs about the same as what you paid for your first kybella session. The liposuction can be done under local while awake in the office and recovery is about the same as kybella.

Hello! I would recommend another round on Kybella, concentrating more on the side that appears to be fuller. Another great option is Morpheus, that which is injectable RF therapy, wherein fat is destroyed and skin is tightened at the same time.
Hope this helps!Dr. Nguyen

This is a perfect example of why injection lipolysis or even surgical liposuction can not always attain even results. If after 2 rounds of KyBella I would next try liposuction on the fuller neck area under local anesthesia. Fee $3,000.

Personally I’m not a big fan of Kybella.

Compared to Liposuction it is imprecise, unpredictable and causes much more swelling and inflammation than Liposuction.

In the end your provider is responsible for your outcome and you intern are responsible for choosing that provider.

If you’ve lost faith in your provider then I suggest scheduling proper second opinion consultations with local board-certified plastic surgeons.

To prepare for a second opinion consultation I recommend bringing proper before and after pictures and medical records from your treatments. These are part of your medical records that you have a right to upon request.
Revision work is more difficult than primary Liposuction and I would imagine the same as someone drew when it comes to the use of Kybella.

I would do liposuction because that is the procedure I’m more comfortable and experienced with.

Good luck with your decision making and possible further procedures.

Best,

Mats Hagstrom MD

Hello, and thanks for your question. I recommend getting more Kybella on your left side/the fuller side next time, or simply only get it on that side. You should have great results after that, and keep doing that until both sides are even. Please see a board-certified surgeon for best results. Best of luck to you!
