Many patients struggle with fat underneath the chin that doesn’t respond to diet or exercise. Fortunately, there are a few options that can help remove excess fat from this area referred to as the “double chin” and achieve a more contoured look. Let’s go over the differences between chin lipo vs kybella including what each option entails as well as ideal candidates for each procedure.
What is Kybella?
Kybella is an injectable that destroys fat cells in order to remove excess fat underneath the chin, otherwise known as a "double chin". This injectable is the first and only FDA-approved non-surgical option that targets fat under the chin. The best part about kybella is that no surgery is required!
What is Chin Lipo?
Liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that targets and removes fatty tissue. If a patient struggles with excess fat underneath their chin, liposuction may be a great option as it can remove larger amounts of fatty tissue.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Kybella?
✅ If you have mild submental fullness and do not have a lot of skin laxity, kybella may be a good option for you.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Chin Lipo?
✅ If you have a lot of submental fullness and do not have skin laxity, liposuction may be a good option for you.
Who Is Not A Good Candidate For Kybella Or Chin Lipo?
If you have skin laxity, also known as loose skin, kybella or chin lipo will not likely be a suitable option to achieve your goals. In these cases, a face/neck lift may be the better option for you. However, it is crucial to book a consultation with a plastic surgeon to receive an evaluation so they can provide you with their professional guidance and recommendations.
