How does it differ from liposuction?
Although both remove unwanted fat from under the chin, Kybella and liposuction differ on several aspects: how the procedures are done, their associated side effects, as well as their observed recovery period.
Procedure: Kybella injections are a non-surgical procedures completed with no sedation or general anesthesia. Kybella is injected in the area under the chin, permanently eliminating fat cells. The entire procedure only takes about 30 minutes. On the other hand, liposuction is a minimally invasive procedure that involves removing the fat with a small tube called a cannula, typically under mild sedation. The area under the chin is treated with a local anesthestic and the surgeon then removes the fat with the suction canulla. The procedure can take between 1-2 hours.
Side Effects: Kybella injections entail redness and swelling that is typically mild and easy to conceal. Similarly, liposuction’s side effects include some minor swelling and bruising. Sometimes, however, liposuction patients need to wear a chinstrap to promote healing.
Recovery: When you undergo liposuction, you will expect a recovery period of about three to seven days. With Kybella injections, you’ll need less time recover.
