Kybella is a great treatment option for those looking to remove excess fat under their chin. However, it is not a cure-all for neck concerns. It does not create a desired outcome for patients with poor skin elasticity, or with excess skin. So my first question would be, are you sure fat removal is all you were looking for when you started the Kybella treatments? If no, it’s time to have a speak with your cosmetic physician, or perhaps get a second opinion from another cosmetic physician with Kybella experience. If fat removal was the sole goal of your Kybella treatments, then I want to give you some good news: I hear concerns just like these from our Kybella patients after the first treatment. You are likely experiencing some swelling, which will go away over time. Things should be looking back to normal, or slightly better, in another week (2 weeks after injection). Don’t expect to see a major change after your first treatment. I know it’s discouraging, because it seems like you should see half the result after half of the treatment, right? But that’s not what happens. You’re going to see almost nothing after the first treatment, but a really big result after the second. So hang in there! Finally, if you find that your skin quality is less than what you expected (i.e. you thought the skin would tighten up if the fat was removed, but it doesn’t), you can always discuss skin tightening treatments with your physician. There are, of course, surgical procedures like a necklift and lower facelift which are excellent; there are also a number of really effective non-invasive options, like Ulthera, Thermage, and ThermiTight.
