Chin Lipo vs. Kybella: Choosing the Right Option

Know the Difference!

CO₂ laser resurfacing is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fractionated carbon dioxide laser technology to gently remove damaged outer layers of skin and stimulate collagen renewal. It’s one of the most effective ways to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance without surgery.

What is Kybella?

Kybella is an injectable that helps get rid of stubborn fat under the chin. It works by breaking down fat cells, which your body then naturally eliminates, giving you a slimmer, more defined look.

Best for: Patients with mild to moderate fat under the chin and good skin elasticity.

Treatment plan: Typically 2–4 sessions spaced 8 weeks apart.

Results: Gradual fat reduction with no surgery, but some swelling and downtime are expected.

What is Chin Liposuction?

Chin liposuction is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes fat under the chin through a small incision. It allows precise sculpting of the jawline for more dramatic and immediate results.

Best for: Patients with moderate to significant fat under the chin.

Procedure: Performed under local anesthesia, typically in under an hour.

Results: Visible almost immediately, with long-lasting improvements.

Considerations: Mild swelling and bruising are expected; recovery usually takes about a week.
