After how many Kybella treatments do patients usually start to notice a difference?

Although you will begin to see results after just 1 to 2 Kybella treatments, spaced 1 month apart, it usually takes 2 to 4 treatments to see the effects.  Some may need up to 5 or 6 treatments.  The results continue after the last treatment for another month or so.  Results are permanent.Ran Y.

Great question. The literature and my own experience with Kybella shows results will begin to be apparent after 3 treatments. Patients can obtain up to six treatments but this seems unnecessary. I ask my patients to reevaluate at three treatments and I expect about half to need a fourth but very few to need more than four treatments

Kybella uses deoxycholic acid to dissolve the fat in the submental area under the chin. It is a simple procedure that usually takes only about 2-5 minutes to perform. Depending on how much fat you would like to eliminate, and how many vials are injected the first treatment,  one treatment may be sufficient. However, most patients need from two to four treatments to achieve the results they desire. It takes about six to eight weeks to see complete results. Treatments can be spaced apart by one month or more. The results are permanent. Please see a board-certified dermatologist to find out how to get rid of your double chin for good.

Thank you for your question, dave728. Kybella is a very effective permanent solution for vanquishing "double chin. Within 2-6 treatments, patients see a tremendous improvement in their "double chin" with Kybella - the only FDA-approved injectable drug to do so. Kybella offers a quick in-office treatment procedural format followed by a minimal recovery time with little to no discomfort. Best wishes,

Fantastic question! Good to know all of your options.There are multiple factors that go into answering this question...If there is a lot of fat, liposuction is your best bet. This can be done in-office under local anesthesia.If surgery is not something you are comfortable with, Coolsculpting would be your best bet financially... as long as the Coolsculpting applicator fits and you are okay with more time to see full results (than liposuction). If your jaw is too small or the amount of fat too little, the CoolMini may not fit.Lastly, if you have a small amount of fat and the CoolMini applicator doesn't fit your face, I would go with Kybella. There is a significant recovery period with Kybella and the product is not cheap. That is why I reserve it for people with a small amount of submental fat.All three will give you some skin tightening.  And you will see a difference after one treatment with all.My best,Dr. Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram

While multiple (most commonly 2-4) treatment sessions are required to achieve maximal results, my patients have all noticed some improvement following their first Kybella(R) injection treatment.  Most patients notice less swelling (one of the most common side effects) following each subsequent treatment.  Kybella(R) is a great non-surgical option for permanent "double chin" fat removal with minimal downtime.

I have found that most patients see a change starting with their first treatment.  A noticeable difference usually requires 2-4 treatments, however.  In their clinical trials, most patients had a full six treatments spaced 4 weeks apart.  A would visit with a board certified plastic surgeon in your are to discuss your options (Kybella vs surgery) in more detail.

Everyone responds differently, but many patients have seen the start of significant improvement of fat reduction of the neck after the first Kybella injection.  This bile salt treatment dissolves fat, without surgery. Most patients have a series of three injections.
