I received my second treatment of kybella 12 days ago. I received 2 vials just like I did the first time. The procedure hurt less than the first time but I started feeling as if my throat was closing. I knew my airway was fine but I had difficulty swallowing. This feeling lasted 2 days. A week later I started feeling as if I had rocks in my throat. That feeling is still present and I have a new one today. If I tilt my head back even so much as to wash my hair, I have severe pain in my trachea area

Dear roseyport1:Kybella can be used above the knee for excess fat, as well as above the bra tops or inner thighs, as “off-label” treatment. Laxity responds well to Microneedling with PRP, and/or Ultherapy. I have seen good results with these treatments above the knees.All the best, Dr. Clark
