Hello, I had Kybella done Dec 1 and did not see dramatic results until Dec 26, as if all the fat under my chin went away overnight. However, on Dec 27, I had a very large day of eating salty food and I am prone to water retention under my chin. Now it is Jan 4th and It seems that my double chin is back. Normally, my water retention lasts for 3 days but this is more than 3 days. I am very worried that my results reversed due to that water retention. The area feels tender and slightly hard.
Answer: Water Retention In regards to your water retention, give it more time to reduce and cut-back on high salt foods for the next couple weeks. If your under chin still remains full and you don't see a difference, follow-up in person with your injector for examination. Best, Dr. Anil Shah

Answer: Fat Dissolving Injections Results How many treatments did you have? We recommend a minimum of two (4 vial approx.) before you see a result. You can have anywhere from 2-6 treatments depending on how much sub-mental fat you have, as well as how significant a result you are after. Full results can not usually be seen until 12 weeks after the second treatment.

Answer: Kybella Dear ashm11,Kybella typically takes 3 to 5 treatments to work. This is why I've stopped carrying Kybella in my office. I recommend neck liposuction more often then any injectable procedure for the neck now. It provides superior results gives me more control over the area than any injectable. It also costs about the same as what you paid for your first kybella session. The liposuction can be done under local while awake in the office and recovery is about the same as kybella.Daniel Barrett, MD

Answer: Can Kybella results reverse? Thank you for your question! Kybella is an awesome treatment that reduces submental fullness by breaking down and absorbing fat cells. Once these fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, and results are permanent. Results can take 4-6 weeks (or more) to see, and it is best to treat over a series of sessions. You are likely still swollen from the procedure. Swelling can also fluctuate based on external factors as well; if salty foods make you retain more water, you will likely have increased swelling after a Kybella procedure when you eat salty foods. The symptoms you are describing are a normal part of the healing process, and over time the swelling should continue to resolve. Best of luck on your aesthetic journey!
