You can find many things online about Kybella® that just aren’t true. Whether it’s how many treatments you need or how long the results will last, misinformation regarding Kybella abounds. We’re debunking three common Kybella myths to help you learn if it’s the right treatment for you.
1. You Only Need One Session
Good things take time. Kybella results are one of those things.
All of that isn’t to say that it’s impossible to speed the process up a bit. Dr. Shaun Patel has noticed that higher doses (more vials up front) of Kybella are typically able to achieve quicker and better results.
2. Fat Comes Back After Treatment
It would certainly be a shame if treated fat somehow grew back or reappeared after Kybella. Fortunately, that doesn’t happen. Kybella destroys fat cells and stops them from storing fat.
Keep in mind that the remaining fat cells may store fat and expand if you put on a lot of weight. But as long as you maintain a relatively stable weight, the submental fullness should not return.
3. Kybella Can Treat a Turkey Neck
“Turkey neck” is a pretty blunt term for sagging and wrinkled skin on the neck. It’s a common sign of aging and occurs due to things like lost skin elasticity and weakened neck muscles.
Unfortunately, Kybella can’t help treat this concern. In fact, eliminating excess fat below the chin with Kybella can sometimes emphasize the appearance of unwanted drooping skin and lines.
If a turkey neck is your primary concern, you may be a better candidate for other treatments. There are various ways to improve the appearance of an aging neck at our Miami clinic.
