How much does Kybella cost per treatment and how many treatments? (photos)

Here at Star Cosmetic Medicine we charge $1250 for 1 treatment. In 1 treatment we use 2 vials of Kybella. On average a patient needs a minimum of 2 treatments. 
In terms of swelling, everyone is different. In saying that the more swelling you actually get, the better the results. Initially immediately after the treatment there is some tenderness and swelling which is a good sign that the treatment is working.
The majority of patients will have bad swelling approx 2-3 days post treatment, so if you have a function to go to or have to go to work it is advisable to have 2-3 days off to recover after treatment. Quite a few patients even get to wearing scarves post treatment for a few days. They call it 'Kybella chic'.

Kybella costs will vary widely depending on the market and the injector. Costs generally range somewhere from $1300-$1600 per treatment. Some injectors will price Kybella per vial, while others will price per treatment. I generally price it per treatment in order to keep costs stable for each treatment and patient. Most patients are going to need between 2-4 treatments.The swelling will start to improve within 2-3 days, but can take several weeks to fully resolve. As the swelling resolves, the improvements from the Kybella treatment will become visible. In general, the more treatments that are performed, the better the results will be.Be sure to see an expert physician injector who specializes in facial aesthetic procedures.All the best,

Hello, With the feedback from the panel members, one can quickly see that Kybella is not cheap, and it's not necessarily less expensive than a minimally invasive surgical option.  We do not use Kybella for more than a few reasons being that we do not believe that the benefits (outcomes) outweigh the financial investment, social downtime with each treatment, and potential risks when comparing all factors with a more traditional approach.  However, if one is opposed to a surgical option, and prefers the concept of Kybella, we recommend a clear treatment plan that outlines expected expectations for outcomes and duration, cost, options.
