Kybella or Chin Liposuction?

  Hi and thank you for your question! Detailed consultation with physician experienced in both Kybella injection and chin liposuction would provide you with the best answers, but to sum up the pros and cons, Kybella is a non-surgical treatment that has lower risk of complications, shorter down-time and time of recovery and the cost is much lower. Liposuction is really the gold standard of reduction of fat under the skin and nothing comes close to it in term of results, but it comes at higher risk of complications, much longer down-time and recovery and higher cost. Kybella or chin liposuction each can be excellent choice for the right patient, so please make sure to talk with experienced doctors to figure our which treatment is preferred in your specific case. I hope it helps and good luck!
