Thank you for your question. Kybella is currently the only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double chin. Indentations that occur after Cool Sculpting or surgery are best treated with skin tightening treatments or alternative modalities such as SculpSure or radiofrequency. It is recommended to consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Kybella® deoxycholate fat-melting injections can be used off-label for various fat deposits throughout the body. It is particularly effective for smaller, well-defined fat deposits that persist even after other larger fat reduction procedures.

SculpSure is a recommended option to dissolve fat in the tummy and flanks. It is an FDA-approved laser treatment that can eliminate up to 25% of subcutaneous fat in a short 25-minute in-office session. Consult with a board-certified facial plastic surgeon for further guidance.

Kybella is FDA approved only for treating submental fat under the chin. Seeking a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss fat grafting as a potential solution is advised.
