he said that he did not need to and it was used by less skilled injectors?! He injected 2 vials at both sessions w/ 6 shots. Whole treatment took 2mins. Reviews here received the tattoo and about 25 injection sites. I don't have a huge amount of fat on chin. I am pretty fit. I thought that w 2 treatments, I would see a huge difference by now.! Doesn't make sense to me and just something doesn't feel right..thoughts? Advice ?
Answer: Have had two treatment of Kybella and don't see a difference. Sorry to hear your story and this is precisely why I don't do Kybella injections. Because sometimes you need up to six treatment to see results. I can give the patient the results they desire with a small syringe liposuction under local anesthesia in 30 minutes with less than one week recovery and all in one session for a lesser cost. Did your doctor discuss this alternative with you?

Answer: No Change Thank you for your question. In general, you should see results from Kybella anywhere from 2-4 treatments. I have seen dramatic results with some of my patients even after one treatment. I would recommend to look at your before and after photos with your surgeon to determine how much improvement has been achieved. If you are not seeing any or much change, I may not have a third treatment. Without seeing you in person, it would be difficult for me to know how much fat you have under the chin. If the issue under your chin is simply loose skin/muscle, for example, you will not see much improvement with Kybella.Be sure to consult with a board certified facial plastic or general plastic surgeon who specializes in injections in the face. I hope that this helps!-David Gilpin

Answer: Kybella results Thank you for your question Katherinexox. I understand your concern. Kybella is the first and thus-far only FDA-approved non-surgical injectable treatment for the double chin. It is difficult to make an assessment without photographs or more information. How far apart were the treatments spaced? I have found that waiting 3 months between treatment gives better results. Please consult with a doctor for specific recommendations. Good luck!

Answer: Kybella results Without before and after photos, it is really hard to comment on your results, but sometimes, we don't think there's been improvement when there are actually has been. If you haven't already, schedule an appointment with your surgeon to compare your before & after photos. Also, it can take 6 weeks or more following your last treatment to see your results. It really depends on the patient.Kindly,Kouros Azar

Answer: Kybella Injections Results Kybella and other injectable fat dissolvers require at least 3-5 treatment sessions. The recommended injection technique facilitates equal distrilbution of solution, making it simpler for the less skilled injector but resulting in more needle sticks with their associated pain and risk of infection.Physicians with more experience develop skills which may be superior to the manufacturor's reccommendation, especially in such a common procedure as subcutaneous injection.Questioning the effectiveness of a product which is not guaranteed is more useful than The Doctor's technique.
