Submental fat refers to the small portions of fat that gather underneath the chin. Some people are genetically predisposed to develop this kind of fat, while others may see it appear due to weight fluctuation, age, or other factors. There are two widely used methods to address and remove this unwanted fat: a non-surgical injection called Kybella and liposuction. What is better Kybella or lipo?
First, Kybella and liposuction, while they address the same pocket of fat, are generally best under different circumstances. Kybella is best for smaller pockets of fat whereas liposuction is ideal for when there is more fat present. However, sometimes it will come down to patient preference.
Overall, liposuction tends to deliver the best and longest lasting results. For patients where surgery is not ideal, or where there is not enough fat to warrant surgery, then Kybella would be the next best option. You can discuss your options with Dr. Sessa or your injector to determine whether Kybella or submental liposuction will provide you the best results.
