Each treatment has benefits and drawbacks. An experienced facial plastic surgeon like Dr. Ahn can help you weigh your options and find the solution that is most suitable for your needs.
If you are looking for a non-surgical solution to small pockets of submental fat, Kybella is the better choice. The injections can be completed quickly and there is limited downtime and little pain. You do not need to worry about taking a lot of time off from work or your normal routine. You also do not need to worry about visible scarring from Kybella treatment.
However, if you have moderate to extensive amounts of submental fat or loose skin under your chin, Kybella is not likely to give you the smooth and contoured results you desire. Liposuction will remove a greater amount of fat and provide more noticeable contouring (although it requires longer recovery downtime).
